Top Ten Most Overrated Songs of 2014

It is only late May 2014 as I make this list, but this list was absolutely necessary.
The Top Ten
1 #selfie - The Chainsmokers

When I listened to this for the first time on VH1, I wanted to my bang my head against the wall till I bled to death. And of course, take the person who dared to create this crap and sing it with me to hell. Is this really what music has come to these days? Stupid teenagers who are off their hinges blabbering on about their life which I couldn't care less about? And also dragging in other good songs (Summertime Sadness) into this piece and letting it down?

What makes this worse is that everyone loves it. It just annoys me till I feel like murdering its lovers. And even my sister likes it and thinks this is 'cool. ' Seriously, cool? Is this what people think is cool? Feather-brained teenagers wanting to take 'selfies' (which I credit to be the worst word ever used) of their ugly selves?

The world sure is getting messed up real big if people keep loving meaningless and tuneless songs as this.

This isn't music! I know I'm just saying what someone else already said, but all this song is, is an annoying voice complaining over a beat stolen from PSY. Is this what we want the future of music to be? If so, then I can expect teenagers like myself to turn on the radio 30 years from now and miss Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber. "BUT FIRST, LET ME TAKE A-" shut up!

This song is annoying but how come headlights, counting stars and all of me are even in this list... they ain't overrated they are suppose to be praised as much as one can... and one more thing.. HEADLIGHTS seriously... ? :/

Might be overrated, but honestly, I feel like this song was HILARIOUS. But looking at it from another perspective, I certainly HOPE it was a joke.

2 Happy - Pharrell Williams

This song consists of a single chorus (that repeats about 50 times) and maybe half of a verse. It's amazing how little effort and creativity was put into a song that is play way too much. Nevertheless, many people will be easily persuaded that Pharrell Williams is so talented but I think this song shows the true hack.

I don't even think it sounds particularly happy because most of it is played in a minor key (which generally feels sad). If it ever comes on the radio I change the station or switch it off for a few minutes. Can't stand it. I deliberately avoid stations that play it every day.

Annoying and overrated. There's just something about the beat and tone of voice that's kind of dull as opposed to happy. Unless that was the intention.

Basically my choice of a happy song would have to be Come on Get Happy by the Partridge Family.

I didn't mind it the first time but when the radio station started playing it several times in an hour, I started to really hate it. It's not even a good song to be brutally honest; it's very cheesy and I'm prepared to do extreme things to avoid it.

3 All About that Bass - Meghan Trainor

There's a difference between songs and idiotic repetition. This "song" is painful to listen to and is insulting to anyone who likes music, and also insulting to every music industry that did, does and will exist.

This song is so awful. And how the hell did it get so popular, it's just tuneless repetition. That is literally it.

The song's okay, and so is the meaning, which is you're beautiful the way you are, but it's overused and overrated. It's not a masterpiece.

This song is pretty mediocre when you first listen to it, but it's played nonstop on radios, adding more insult to injury.

4 Anaconda - Nicki Minaj

What kind of song is anaconda? Are people nuts? How can anyone like this absolute crap? The music video is total garbage and should be banned.. People like Minaj and Eminem are ruining this generation. People nowadays should listen to Michael Jackson, whitney houston, elvis.. Etc.. you know.. Real music..

Most overrated song for people have no taste for music

Sorry did I say 'song'? This is the dumbest ever

I don't know about nicki having any rap talent, if she ever had any, she wasted all of it on meaningless crap

I pride myself in knowing less than 50% of the songs in this list

You may have noticed that when I first remixed Worst Songs of 2014, I said Wild Wild Love had to be the worst song, and nothing could possibly be worse. Looking at this, I was clearly incorrect.

I hate this song so much, Nicki should be ashamed of herself for recording this garbage and filming this music video, it's so overrated it should be #1.

5 Fancy - Iggy Azalea

She can't rap. Why does she even exist? Everything she's involved in is horrible and I always fail to convince myself that this is music. This is the #1 most overrated song and it's probably so low down only because of the abysmal amount of people who hate this song. Worst song I've ever heard and somehow everyone else likes it! HOW?

Not only does iggy look like the wayan brothers in white chicks, this song is so predictable and cliche. not to mention that compared to the rest of the women music community, rapping in particular, Iggy has no skills.

I like the beat, but this song... It's so... Unrelatable. You can't relate to it unless you're a rich hoe. It's stupid. How the freak did this get so popular, Iggy is basically copying Nicki Minaj.
Also, they wanted Lorde in it, but she was like, no losers, so they got some nobody who looked like Lorde.

WHO IS IGGY AZALEA ANYWAYS? She can't rap, sing, or anything. She was once an IMPERSONATOR OF BRITNEY SPEARS! And this song is so repetitive, It's so not fancy, not at all. very overrated

6 Wild Wild Love - Pitbull

I hate how Pitbull is the one mainly credited on the single, and yet G.R.L. are the ones who make this a halfway decent (if overrated) song. In fact, I don't like Pitbull very much overall: he's a sleazy, slimy, misogynistic scum-bag and it comes across in a lot of the songs he releases.

All of his songs are the same. Lyrics are meaningless, yet people again only know the chorus. His videos are the same, he has the hottest chicks I've ever seen in a video, I guess they like perverts

Pitbull's career is him being a huge pervert and listing at least 30 geographical locations in each of his songs. No thank you.

I love this song. And it's only been playing for two weeks, how can it be overrated.

7 Rude - MAGIC!

Oh my god I hate fake music. And yeah! He doesn't say rude, he says roo! And get a life and marry the girl, although I can't see why anyone would love a fake wimp like anyone in Magic! It is pure fake reggae. I listen to REAL reggae, along with Linkin Park, Eminem, Rihanna, Imagine Dragons, Jason Derulo, the hardcore Jessie J, and Lana Del Rey.

"Why you gotta be so rude"
No. Just NO. The girl's father is in no way being RUDE by not giving his blessing. Isn't he the one being rude, asking for permission to marry the girl and then saying "I'm gonna marry her anyway." Anyway, if he was so desperate to marry her anyway, why did he even bother asking?
Logic, anyone?

Instead of proving he's worth marrying, he just cries about the father saying no and says he going to marry the girl anyway. Yeah, the dad was right in not giving him permission. This song is just awful and I hate that plays on the radio all the time.

At first, this song was really catchy. But now, every time I turn the radio on, it's playing. It makes my blood boil and the repetition makes me turn it off every time it is on.

8 Lookin' Ass - Young Money

A Caribbean woman saying the n-word 42 times is so less horrible than a song which proclaims happiness (rolls eyes)

WHY do you like this, people? It pains me to see how this can be considered music.

Good point, why do we hate it? The n-word appears 42 times in it, but I just can't picture how someone would dislike it...

9 Take Me to Church - Hozier

Why is this overrated? It practically deserved the Grammy it should've won had Sam Smith not ripped off Tom Petty.

It SHOULDN'T have been nominated for a Grammy. It even has a hate page.

Why did this horrible song even get popular in the first place?

I agree. This song is amazing! Sam Smith sucks!

10 Wiggle - Jason Derulo

I just listened to sample. Oh, God. I want to travel back in time and prevent myself from doing that. But it would break a time paradox.

THIS SONG SUCKS IT SOUNDS LIKE HE WOKE UP ONE MORNING WALKED OUT TO GO TO THE SUPER MARKET SAW A FAT GIRL WITH A LARGE ASS WENT TO THE MUSIC STUDIO AND STARTED SINGING

Way overrated. Bang bang is way better than this overrated crappy song

That is the most sexist song I have ever heard.

The Contenders
11 Bang Bang - Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj

It's hard to express how much I hate this song. Just... no. I was disappointed when I heard this song.

I like Ariana Grande, but the other two are horrible singers. This song sucks so hard.

This Song Sucks So Much...

3 slurs too many

12 Hangover - PSY
13 Say Something - A Great Big World

Another crappy love song I don't listen to those never,love does not equal money. Listen to stuff that make you happy like Black and yellow

'when you try to reach the minimum words on essay' - a great big world

It was fine the first few times I heard it.

If I stay soundtrack, doesn't it?

14 Shot Me Down - David Guetta

I like how David Guetta gets credited for songs he doesn't sing in. If he gets credited to this extent for writing songs for other artists, then why aren't all other composers credited? I say that if he's not singing in it, he shouldn't be credited - it's not fair on every other composer.

I would take SelfDestruct's side rather than PositronWildhawk and the visitors. David Guetta makes good music, even if he is not as good as Deadmau5 and Daft Punk are, but still good, but this song is CRAP!

What baloney SelfDestruct speaks. It's typical of the mainstream trash which he emphasises.

David Guetta has lots of talent but this is not that good.

15 Drunk in Love - Beyonce

Don't get me wrong, I love Beyonce and I like this song, but it gets so annoying hearing it on the radio all the time. !

16 Problem - Ariana Grande

I like the idea of tapping into the 90's nostalgia that's going on at the moment, but that doesn't change the fact that this song really isn't as good as (seemingly) everybody is saying it is. Not only do I think this song is overrated, I also think Ariana Grande herself is, too (Iggy as well, for that matter). I mean, who's really going to remember them in 5 years?

How this below anything by jackie evancho?
This song is played everywhere and I'm seriously tired of this song, and also of Ariana Grande!

The worst song of 2014! And also the most overrated song of the year! Plus, I hate Ariana Grande.

I love this song! It's hip, cool, sassy and more and that's what you want in a song right? GO PROBLEM!

17 Red Lights - Tiësto

People are like, yeah, it's Tiësto, what could be bad? Those with sense were greatly disappointed.

I actually really like it!

18 Everything is Awesome - Jo Li

Tegan and Sara too. Both versions are overrated.

The term awesome such a childish term

19 Summer - Calvin Harris

It's like... yay! Lets listen to the same tune, which anyone could have made better, with no lyrics or anything for half of the song! He is truly lazy. I mean, he uses the same set of lame lyrics for the fraction of the song he actually sings in. Also, his voice is terrible.

Very repetitive. It's good for a single commercial maybe.. no it's too boring to be in a commercial. Him and all those DJs, please stop making music. I don't see all the other song writers attaching their names to songs they make on the radio. Stop pretending they are so special.

God, he is so bad and unoriginal. All of his "music" could have been made by a middle schooler getting his first keyboard. Everything he does is so boring and repetitive. He is only popular because he looks good and puts naked women in his videos.

Crap song. At least selfie created one of the most trending hashtags and memes. All this lazy 'musician' created was a song that 60% of it was stupid music 39.9% of the lyrics are: summer, and 0.1% of it was... Anything else. I honestly hate the creators music (I don't hate them, just their music) because its mostly this hunk of junk

20 Talk Dirty - Jason Derulo

No more to say except "this song sucks" "really badly" "and it makes me want to die"

This song belongs in the trash where it should be.

Jason Derulo just sounds like a sex maniac here!

No girl will talk dirty to Jason derulo!

21 The Devil Is a Lie - Rick Ross
22 Wasted - Tiesto
23 Shake It Off - Taylor Swift

I can't believe what Taylor Swift has become. If you don't know, listen to this, and then listen to a song off her oldest album. She's no longer that "country girl next door". But on to the song, T-Swizzle (that name used to be a joke but seeing as she's attempting to rap now... ) finally addresses her haters. How? By spending all kinds of time and money writing a song, recording it, publicize it, making a music video, and publicizing that, all to show how much she just didn't care! Awesome job, T-Swizzle. You continue to blow away everyone's expectations!

I'm SO sick of this STUPID song! Whenever I say shake it up or something like that this boy in my art class (who looks like a nerd) but acts like he's all that started singing it! And every time I hear it on the radio, it annoys the HECK out of me! Then my older brother decided to annoy me and play her STUPID song.

Taylor's other songs were decent but this one?! THIS IS THE WORST!

This needs to be much higher on the list. This is the worst Taylor Swift song ever.

24 Headlights - Eminem

Why overrated? I'm a HUGE Eminem fan and this sing is amazing. What is wrong with this song? Eminem is apologizing to his mo for all the bad song he wrote about her.

This song is far from overrated.

Lyrics and tune were awesome

Not overrated at all

25 Achy Breaky 2 - Buck 22
