   How she is in last place is beyond me. Her songs are awful and overplayed, and she completely ruined an okay Jennifer Lopez song and a Maroon 5 song.

   She sounds childish and has simple rhymes.

   Her music is absolute garbage... just like her.

3. BTS

   Tell me one thing that makes them unique from other boy bands. Sure, they sing about their lives, but so do many other underrated artists. Also, plastic.

   They have a few good songs, but most of them are pretty forgettable.

   Don't kill me, ARMYs...

   They all sound the same. Oh, and those arms are obnoxious.

   None of his 2018 hits deserved to be in the top 20 on the Hot 100, yet they got to #1 and stayed there for weeks. Not only that, but the current #1 song, In My Feelings, is easily the worst song on the radio right now.

   Sorry, but he's overrated! He's not as good as people make him out to be. He's just average!

   A high school dropout with little talent and enthusiasm who somehow made a career by shooting himself. He's one of the biggest artists of the year despite being dead.

   I know he's been famous for a while now, but he got way more overrated after he died.

   I don't know XXXTentacion, but I'm sad that he died.
