Top Ten Most Irrelevant Music Artists of 2017
Park Jae-sang, better known by his stage name Psy, stylized PSY, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, record producer and rapper. You shouldn't measure non-US artists on a US scale. He is South Korean, and there each of his albums since 2006 entered the Top Ten, and he had a number one hit in 2017.
Foreign artists often have a big career in their home countries. To call Nena a one hit wonder over here will get you the "you lived under a stone for the last 30 years, right? " look. And I bet it's the same with Psy us South Korea.
Bad one-hit wonder whose one hit was utter trash even when it came out. Utterly irrelevant beyond being a snapshot of our vacuous culture at the time. If I was Tim-Bernes Lee and saw that my creation would lead to this doofus getting popular, I would have thrown in the towel already.
He's stayed enough of his popularity, he's now backtracked to standard once again but he's making another song this year
Eh, I only remember him for Gangnam Style. Nowadays, I don't really care for him anymore. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
LMFAO was an American hip hop-electronic dance music duo consisting of uncle and nephew Redfoo and SkyBlu. Wait, LMFAO got split? Wow, just goes to show how irrelevant they really are these days. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
LMFAO's been spilt since 2012. Why are they even on a negative list based in 2017?
It's a long time since they've split up so why are they here?
Isn't one of them making music for big name artists now?

Gone and will eventually be forgotten. Thank God. Hopefully these tweens will start listening to some good music now to fill that void. Maiden anyone?
One Direction isn't anyhing special if you ask me. I mean, I you want actual good Boy Bands, try searching up for BBMak and Backstreet Boys. At least 1D was unique, but after Zayn left, they've been formulaic ever since.
In addition, Harry Styles wants to be an actor and Louis Tomlinson is a father. It's not gonna take too long before the band breaks up.
No, they are NOT irrelevant! How come Harry Styles has a #1 album? They're making their marks as solo artists
I wouldn't say irrelevant. The members who launched solo careers all got their songs to the hot 100.
Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 5 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and 13 worldwide.

They made new songs, I saw. They're not popular though.

I keep seeing her on those celebrity news sites. Apparently, her neice had a disease (cancer of something to do with her heart, I don't know), and she's dating this Australian bodybuilder.
She's also been in/still is in some beef with Taylor Swift (I forgot who the exact celeb was) and they're fighting about/over something, and Britney used a Bible quote over Twitter to respond the the female celeb's comments.
Dang! Celeb news can be confusing!
