Good Songs by Bad Artists

This list is about bad artists/bands that made good songs.
The Top Ten
1 Grand Piano - Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj isn't a horrid singer in my opinion. I think if she really tries like she did in this song then she's very talented. I think her label just makes her do booty songs instead like this, which is such a waste.

This song is so beautiful for such a usually emotionless singer...

2 How You Remind Me - Nickelback

Oh god, yes! I grew up with this one. Why can't Nickelback release good songs like this? Oh, wait, I can answer that: that would mean they'd be releasing good music that isn't about sex and drugs.

Also, did you know this album was released on 9/11/01?

To me, this is a great song by a quite generic, but not bad band.

3 See You Again - Wiz Khalifa

Great song, Wiz Khalifa is a decent rapper but Charlie Puth is annoying. Both their verses were really good though.

What Wiz Khalifa, for the most at least, is good

4 Like I'm Gonna Lose You - Meghan Trainor

I was shocked when I found out this was by Meghan Trainor.

I think this is actually her best song.

Way better than All About That Bass

It's beautiful.

5 Battle Cry - Imagine Dragons

I would kind of extend this to most of the Smoke and Mirrors album but I honestly agree as much as I used to like them.

Imagine Dragons are a good band so this should be off the list.

This is from a good band not a bad one.

This is a good band

6 Love Yourself - Justin Bieber

I hate Justin Bieber with a passion, and although this song is nothing special in my opinion, I wouldn't necessarily call it bad.

This is one of my least favorite Justin Bieber songs, but that's mostly because I don't like slow songs.

To Me, This Is A Garbage Song From A Pretty Bad (But Not The Worst) Artists

7 Sorry - Justin Bieber

I disagree. This is a pretty bland song by a very mediocre artist, in my opinion anyway.

Justin is bad but not at all because girls love justin but for this is fine just fine

This is actually not that bad but it's honestly because of Skillrex
Also I view JB more mediocre than actually bad but eh whatever

8 False Alarm - The Weeknd

This song's fantastic, and The Weeknd isn't a bad artist

Amazing song by an amazing artist.

The weeknd is great

9 Black Widow - Iggy Azalea

I disagree. This song is terrible in my opinion.

10 Too Many Years - Kodak Black

Nah, Kodak Black is trash.

But kodak isn't bad

I love this song

The Contenders
11 The Heart Wants What It Wants - Selena Gomez
12 Company - Justin Bieber

Justin Beiber will NEVER BE GOOD.

I like this song

13 Sign of the Times - Harry Styles

One Direction sucks but I wouldn't necessarily call this song "bad". I'd give it a 6.5/10

Another bland artist but this song is actually quite good.

It's got a sort of Pink Floyd feel. It's actually alright

The album didn't live up to this song.

14 FU - Miley Cyrus
15 Forever - Chris Brown
16 Pills N Potions - Nicki Minaj

I gotta say this is one of her better songs. It actually felt like there was effort put into it.

17 Drag Me Down - One Direction
18 Rollin' - Limp Bizkit

Am I the only person who loves this?

19 Super Bass - Nicki Minaj

Thank you for adding this. I wanted to say this for ages. Pink Friday could be added here because it was decent stuff. Unfortunately she's gone downhill since The Pinkprint and her new music is garbage. (2016 was meh)

This is her only song that I've heard that I would consider music, and it's pretty mediocre.

Good song, good artist. Better than Grand Piano.

Bad song by a bad artist

20 Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie

Fergie isn't bad.

21 Cheyenne - Jason Derulo
22 This Love - Maroon 5
23 Russian Roulette - Rihanna

Props to Ne-Yo, this dude is responsible for the majority of Rihanna's good songs.

24 We Own It - 2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa

2 chainz ruined his verse

25 Sunday Morning - Maroon 5
