Please read the name of the list and bring facts while adding new items here
The Top Ten
1 Trespassing - Adam Lambert

Charted: Only in Canada, only in 98.
YouTube views: only 3 m (31.03.2015)
After that: NO song was charted anywhere by far

2 Friday - Rebecca Black

Brought fame BUT was derided by critics and she received a LOT of hate and never became a successful singer.

Which was a pity she is actually a pretty good singer.

She is so underrated.

3 Kisses Down Low - Kelly Rowland

Again plain garbage similar to We can't stop... everything was OK before this and this song ruined her, she failed to regain her fame & attention even after a very good & scandalous song: Dirty Laundry.

4 Booty - Jennifer Lopez

I've never heard this but what I have to say just from the cover and name is that songs are just so uninspired, pointless, and just simply dumb nowadays. Booty? It sounds like the dumbest song ever.

I am not sure she would have had much success after that anyway this felt like her last attempt at staying relevant.

5 All Gold Everything - Trinidad James
6 Turn On the Lights - Future
7 Make It Out This Town - Eve

Charted: Nowhere
YouTube views: only 114 k (31.03.2015)
After that: NO song was charted anywhere by far

8 Ultraviolence - Lana del Rey

After so perfect songs this plain garbage with some others in her last album makes no sense... Hope upcoming "Honeymoon" is gonna be as good as "Born To Die" like she said...

9 Bad Girl - Avril Lavigne

This is not bad at all. I'm not a big fan of her music but I like this song. Hello Kitty on the other hand makes sense on this list.

10 Run the World - Beyonce

Well I'm not a fan but her career's going on very successfully, so why did you put it?

This is her last song to get big success worldwide but her career didn't die.

No offense but this didn't actually ruined her career

This song did not ruin her career

The Contenders
11 Take a Picture - Carly Rae Jepsen

Charted: Nowhere
YouTube views: only 60 k (31.03.2015)
After that: She's NOT famous any more, this song ruined the fake singer.

12 Hello Kitty - Avril Lavigne
13 Baby - Justin Bieber

This is the reverse it actually started his success despite how hated it was.

It didn't ruin his career it was doomed from the start

This song did not ruin his career

14 Bound 2 - Kanye West
15 Tick Tick Boom - the Hives
16 Home - Gym Class Heroes
17 Bounce - Dynamite MC
18 Liquorice - Azealia Banks

Well the first song succeeded (I don't know why though) & the very next one failed...

19 No Better - Lorde

The "mining" of singles off of albums started with Michael Jackson and continued with Mariah Carey and others to artificially extend the popularity of album sales from very popular artists.
The Beatles did not do this, they thought it was ripping off the fans.
Lorde just wasn't that good, she had one good song, and another that was only fair, with the rest being pretty bad. We will see if she ever charts again.

Charted: Nowhere, was after Team, made no sense...

20 Wrecking Ball - Miley Cyrus
21 B**** I'm Madonna - Madonna

What kind of song name is this.

22 Fack - Eminem
23 Cool for the Summer - Demi Lovato

Her next album was her best selling so no.

24 Look What You Made Me Do - Taylor Swift

Despite being a big hit, this song was divided by critics and only had brief radio airplay. I'd say this definitely killed off any chance of future success for Taylor Swift.

She is the most famous artist now.

25 King's Dead - Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake

Killed the career of Future in my eyes, especially his "la de da de da. slob on me knob" lyric. Despite it being funny, I don't see many people taking Future seriously after this one.
