Man, this Trivia page sure does exist, doesn't it?

  • Black Sheep Hit: His two most-popular videos aren't any of his lists or rankings; but instead "But If You Close Your Eyes...", a comedic, nine-second short showing Donald Trump's Twitter account before and after getting suspended set to the chorus of Bastille's "Pompeii" and an upload of the uncensored live TikTok version of Willow Smith and Tyler Cole's "Meet Me at Our Spot", respectively.
  • Creator Backlash: Sean doesn't think too highly of his earlier videos, particularly the Fall 2017 Ranking which he has gone on to say is his worst video.
    Sean: (after playing a clip of his "Bodak Yellow" segment consisting of some rather forced acting): I promise that hurt me more than it hurt you.
  • Development Hell: Ever since Part 2 of "Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2001" was released in November 2020, progress on the Best of 2001 list has gone along slowly due to The Double Agent's tight schedule, which also resulted in his own content taking a hiatus since the release of his Best of 2020 list in January 2021.
  • Milestone Celebration: For his five-year anniversary, Sean ranked the biggest hit songs of 2017, the year he started the Diamond Axe Studios Music YouTube channel.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: The intro to his videos has "Feelings" by Maroon 5.
  • Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Sean announced on June 2021 he would not be commissioning any more cameos from Drake Bell (who appeared in both of his respective "Top 10 Worst Hit Songs..." lists for 2019 and 2020) after the actor pleaded guilty for several child-endangering crimes.
  • Screwed by the Lawyers: Much like most music critics on YouTube, Sean has to deal with the site's infamous copyright bots, resulting in him having to blur sections of the song's video or muffle its audio. A particularly noteworthy case is when part 2 of his "Top 10 Best Hit Songs of 2019" was blocked mid-premiere.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Sean was originally going to use "Speed Me Up" as the transition music for his "Top 10 Best Hit Songs of 2020", but the aforementioned copyright bots got in the way.
    • Sean noted in his "Every #1 of the 2000s: Ranked Worst to Best" video that he was planning on getting a Mystikal cameo for "Stutter", but decided not to due to Mystikal's rape and sexual assault charges, not helped by the above cameos from Drake Bell.
