Most Hated Songs of the 21st Century

I'm not saying these are the WORST songs. I'm saying that these are the MOST HATED songs of this century.

While these songs are extremely hated, most of them have also achieved great success.
The Top Ten
1 Baby - Justin Bieber

Even though this song is too awful to deserve much praise, all the hate has gone too far for years. One slightly redeeming thing about this song is that it's a tiny bit tuneful unlike many chart hits today, and I'm sure it wouldn't be angering us all so much if we just keep quiet about it and let it fade into irrelevancy, like some other songs on this list have.

It was decent to be honest but this was the song that started the notorious vibe that today wasn't around much anymore and Justin has changed a lot already but 2010 was still the good old days where this vibe was so annoying it's fun. Is it?

The most overhated song of all time. People hate Justin Bieber because it is trendy to hate Justin Bieber, despite the fact that their are far worse musicians out there, such as Kid Rock, for instance.

And quite frankly, the criticism that he sounded like a girl in this song is really stupid. This criticism can be made against any young, male singer who hasn't yet hit puberty.

Back when Justin Bieber sounded like a girl. This has got to be one of the most hated songs of this century, but it's also achieved great success.

2 Friday - Rebecca Black

I have no idea what happened here. If you listen to her other songs, she can sing. Why does she sound like this on here? And also those lyrics are beyond clumsy. I don't like this song. BUT.
She was young and it is absolutely unfair that she maybe never will make it as a singer only because this harmless little song damaged her reputation.

Not a good song, but the haters fail to realize it was a "vanity project", done just for fun, with no intention of being widely released. Only family and friends were the audience at first, but vicious internet trolls made it into a viral thing.

This song is worse than Baby by a mile. The lyrics are so basic and childish that it sound like this was made for Kidz Bop.

Friday used to be our favorite day of the week, but listening to this song will ruin Friday for all of us

3 It's Everyday Bro - Jake Paul

Jake Paul is SO ANNOYING. This song has no actual context, especially as he got kicked out of disney, because of how he was acting, but this song is petty, bad and is just altogether dumb. I think it just needs to be irrevelent.

I actually love this song, but the thing really is, most of the things he made isn't true...

This is the literal definition of overhated internet song.

Jake paul is awesome but this song is trash.

4 Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) - Silento

I don't hate the song, I just hate how people are obsessing over it. But I will admit, the song is kind of annoying. But it's not annoying enough to rage over.

I don't hate this song at all

5 Let It Go - Idina Menzel

Whoever few of the people say that they liked the song are completely stupid. This is recently the most idiotic song made by disney along with idiotic storyline of this film. In fact the directors and songwriters have just wasted the time within 18 months combine 2012 and 2013 years as the development of this film was very poor with total wrong story making and adding all disgusting songs especially this one above. It can said by many people for this film of disney that bribery has been beyond probably to get all fake favourable reviews by those dumb critics in order an award of academy which is very shameful and unfair.

Again something I only see hated on on this site. On any other website and in real life everyone is praising Frozen as the greatest Disney movie since the Disney Renaissance, and how the characters, message, music and story are already instant classics.
And I must say... I also see it like that. It has all the great qualities of 90s Disney, with the difference of it not being in 2D.

Don't give elsa a balloon as she will LET IT GO! Thanks a lot disney I just had surgery on my ears due to the LOUD SINGING! How does this song have to go with the ACTUAL STORY!?!?! Focus disney.

The hate went a bit too far, considering this was made for Frozen's soundtrack and other songs out there sound much worse in addition to being soulless money-grabs.

6 Sweatshirt - Jacob Sartorius

This song is the future idiot. But at least it is not AS much autotune as today's music.

Honestly, I would be happy if this song got banned for a reason, but any reason will do.

Annoying kid+Nonsense lyrics+bad rhythym+bad voice=worst song of the 21st century

Oh my good lord. This should be a tied number one with baby.

7 Stupid Hoe - Nicki Minaj

Sometimes, rap music can be great, but this is not one of those rap songs. This song have repetitive lyrics and Nicki in general is a terrible rapper

Worst autobiographical song ever.

This song is even worse than Anaconda.

I like stupid hoe

8 Fancy - Iggy Azalea
9 Axel F - Crazy Frog

Was all over music T.V. channels in 2005. The techno version of Beverly Hills Cop is actually well executed, just the vocals of the Frog are so unnecessary they in the end ruin it (when he "sings" the tune that's just fine, but this "bam, bam" and the "verses" are...just no.)

This song is garbage and has recieved lots of hate. Try going the rest of the day without humming it if you have listened to it

I actually like this song, it's really catchy.

10 The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?) - Ylvis

This was made by a comedy group. Like, they have stand up stage shows, host comedy T.V. shows, and make comedy music. You people know that, right? They are not musicians. They never were. It's just... intended as a piece of comedy. As far as I know, they were famous in Norway before this and just recorded this and other songs as comic sketches. It was just a bit unfortunate that it went viral out of context.

Come on these guys obveously released this song to give a good laugh and they succeded Norway gave us smart people

Liked it when it came out. Annoys me now.

I actually really like this song..

The Contenders
11 Anaconda - Nicki Minaj

There is a video on YouTube of the normal music video, but every time she twerks there is a fart sound. It's hilarious because the fart sound is played any time she thrusts backwards.

This song sucks! The literal definition of ear cancer. If you want your ears to bleed, listen to this garbage.

Nicki Minaj at her worst. We don't need a song about butts.

Most overhated song of all time. Objectively, it's pretty great. I only hate it for... personal reasons.

12 Gangnam Style - Psy

This song was pure fun when it was released in 2012. This is a classic novelty song you either love or hate. I experienced more people liked than hated it though. Also on the net. It has little to hate on. The lyrics are in Korean and even translated they are tame, it's not overly sexualized and the vocals are fine. It was overall simply entertainment. I actually own his "7th Album", and it's pretty fun too. The only thing that got people upset is how long it was trending and how ridiculously large its success was.

It's not that terrible or great. I think it's a fine and okay song made from a guy who came all the way from South Korea. Funny thing is that used to be the most viewed video on YouTube scoring millions of hits. People get addicted to this internet meme and start to imitate Psy dancing all silly. There you have it. It's entertainment for all the lovers and haters.

While this song have extremely great success, there were many people who hated it. The dance is kinda stupid to be honest

I do admit the dance is pretty stupid but it dosen't deserve all the hate it gets. Oh, I forgot to mention that it also dosen't deserve all the praise it gets.

13 Baby Shark - Pinkfong
14 Whip My Hair - Willow

For once I agree...
...but only because of the lyrics.
Her voice is nice, and the beat also is but... this seems so forced. Like, "we want to record a song about shaking what your mama gave ya, but she is so young so we have to make it extremely clean and playful".
My suggestion: hand the beat and melody to a singer like JLo or Beyoncé and let them write a bit more fitting lyrics. Get Willow's voice on a less seductive song, maybe a dance song about going on a journey or something.

I strongly dislike this song. It's very annoying and repetitive.

I like this song. Don't know what you are talking about!

15 Sexy and I Know It - LMFAO
16 Despacito - Luis Fonsi

How did this song about sex get this famous? And the the music is very boring and the lyrics cause nausea.

17 Crank That (Soulja Boy) - Soulja Boy Tell 'Em

He's a gangster that gets on many peoples nerves, but keep in mind he's quite successful too

18 Closer - The Chainsmokers

How? It is the #6 best song of 2016! I like this song!

Why is this song always so hated /:

God awful and so repetitive

19 Shape of You - Ed Sheeran

It's the jest song ever who ever hates it must be going deaf

20 How It is (Wap Bap...) - Bibi H.

The hate this song gets in Germany is insane. It's used synonymously with terribleness since it was released earlier this year. The entire German YouTube scene was talking about it and everyone made at least one video bashing it.
I initially didn't like it. It's so in-your-face cheerful that it ends up slightly annoying. But also: I heard worse. It's not a good song, she tries too hard to sound like artists such as Marit Larsen or Maria Mena, but while they are uplifting and refreshingly light-hearted (and rightfully receive positive reviews), Bibi comes off as too forced. But it's not the worst song if all time. Everyone who listened to Soulja Boy's debut album knows that there are miles between her and the bottom of the barrel.

People hate it mostly because she is a sell out YouTuber who sang this song only to make money and didn't even write it herself. She is a famous beauty and lifestyle YouTuber who is among the country's top 5 most subscribed channels but is also ...more

This is annoying. Good German music is Beethoven and Bach.

21 Shake It Off - Taylor Swift

Dull, boring, and annoying at the same time. This is one of the worst songs of all time. I can't this music video got over 2 billion views on YouTube. Wow, just wow. I'd rather listen to Pink Floyd more than Taylor Swift singing awfully bad. Modern music may not be that great. It's all going downhill.

What? This song is good, so much better than Bad Blood

This song should beside BABY

22 Boom Boom Pow - The Black Eyed Peas
23 Sexting - Blood on the Dance Floor

How is a DORA song above this gross atrocity?

Anyone who likes this is disgusting,

24 6 Foot 7 Foot - Lil Wayne

I admitted to liking so many hated artists, I can as well say Lil Wayne is one of my favorite American rappers. I LOVE his raspy voice and slurry flow, and he is one of he few American rappers that use puns and word play like German rappers.
The only thing I can see why is hated is occasional objectification of women... but that's kind of part of the rap persona.
Kollegah's pimp persona for example includes carrying women on a leash.

This is a great song! Maybe the lyrics might be crude at points, but the flow and lyrics are really good!

All of y'all are just haters because he is one of the greatest rappers of all time so shut up please

25 Harlem Shake - Baauer

I remember being at school around the time this song was really popular, sitting in a classroom when in the space of 10 minutes 4 phones had rang. Guess what song these guys all had as their ringtones?
