Top 10 Worst Singers of 2022

These singers were terrible in 2021 and are likely to be terrible again in 2022.

More singers who are definitely terrible in 2022 will be added later.

The Top Ten

6ix9ine

Daniel Hernandez (born May 8, 1996), better known by his stage name 6ix9ine, also called Tekashi69 or Tekashi, is an American rapper known both for his music and for his legal controversies. In 2015, he pleaded guilty to a felony charge of using a child in a sexual performance, though he denied any sexual... read more

Get him back to jail now! No one wants to hear the Skittle man scream insults and stupid words.

If you can even consider him a "singer."

Run for cover, hide your wife and kids, Snitch9ine is back with another earraper.
Chris Brown

Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he participated in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He gained international notoriety in 2009 for his physical assault of singer... read more
ppcocaine

Lilliane Catherine Diomi (born June 1, 2001), known professionally as ppcocaine, is an American rapper and social media personality. She is best known for songs like "DDLG" and "3 Musketeers," some of which gained popularity on TikTok. Riding that massive wave of viral momentum, she quickly secured... read more

As of 2022, this horrendous so-called "rapper" has been wrecking the music industry along with Yoko Ono, Delilah Bon, GG Allin, Crazy Frog, Blood on the Dance Floor, Brokencyde, Deicide, and Anaal Nathrakh.
Believe it or not, the music industry has been declining at full speed since 2020.

She released "Homie Hopper" in 2022, so yes, that is another terrible song by her. I'm voting for her!

She's extremely annoying, but it's better to ignore her.
Adam Levine

Adam Noah Levine is an American singer and songwriter. He is the lead vocalist for the Los Angeles pop rock band Maroon 5.
Levine began his musical career in 1994 when he co-founded the band Kara's Flowers, where he served as lead vocalist and guitarist. After limited success with their debut... read more

The only people I could see liking Adam Levine and his "band" are soccer moms.

Everything he and his "band" need is a well-deserved break. His vocals sound so slurred and impassionate these days.
Corey Feldman

Corey Scott Feldman is an American actor and singer. He rose to prominence during the 1980s with roles in films such as The Fox and the Hound, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, The Goonies, Stand by Me, The Lost Boys, Gremlins, and The 'Burbs. Feldman was a prominent figure among the young actors of... read more

Why is this guy so desperately clinging to a music career when he can't even sing? There is absolutely nothing appealing about his "music."

Just listen to a song off of his 2016 album "Angelic 2 The Core," and you'll understand why he's on this list. It's so much fun seeing Anthony Fantano roast him though.

I love Corey Feldman's movies. This does not mean I think he is a good singer. I love you, Corey, but just no. Please stop.
Kid Rock

Robert James Ritchie Sr., professionally known as Kid Rock, is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, musician, record producer, and actor. He has blended genres such as rock, hip-hop, and country throughout his music career. Kid Rock is also known for his outspoken personality and activism.... read more

He actually sucks. His other song "We The People" is another atrocious song.

This dude has become a parody of himself.
Tyga

Micheal Ray Stevenson (born November 19, 1989), known by his stage name Tyga, is an American hip-hop recording artist. In 2008, Tyga signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Republic Records. His major label debut album Careless World: Rise of the Last King... read more

Just like his friend Chris Brown, it's unclear why Not a Tyga still has so many artists wanting to collaborate with him. This rapper barely has any charisma and has also been disrespectful to women. Not only was he involved in statutory rape, but he has also been accused of assaulting women, and yet he still manages to make a few hits.
I hope we don't hear from him anymore this year.
Leah Kate

Forget about Gayle. Out of all the Olivia Rodrigo wannabes we've had so far, this chick is probably the worst of the bunch. She tries so hard to be a punk, but her vocals are way too bland and the production in her songs is watered down to death à la MGK's Mainstream Sellout. I hope this is the last OR clone we'll get.
Lil Pump

Gazzy Garcia (born August 17, 2000), known professionally as Lil Pump, is an American rapper, record producer, and songwriter. He began his career in 2016 with a freestyle collaboration with Smokepurpp that gained popularity on SoundCloud. He achieved mainstream success in 2017 with his self-titled debut... read more
Machine Gun Kelly

Colson Baker, better known by his stage names MGK and Machine Gun Kelly, is an American rapper and actor from Cleveland, Ohio. He first gained attention for his rapid fire delivery and releases such as Lace Up in 2012, and he has since put out multiple studio albums. In the 2020s, he shifted toward... read more

The Newcomers

DJ Khaled

Khaled Mohamed Khaled, known professionally as DJ Khaled, is an American record producer, radio personality, DJ and record label executive. He gained fame with a string of hit collaborations and has released multiple chart-topping albums. DJ Khaled is also known for his social media presence and catchphrases... read more

Ok, look, he's probably not a "singer," I know, but he is just so ANNOYING. Like, all he ever does is shout out his name, "ANOTHER ONE," and "WE DA BEST MUSIC." Plus, half of DJ Khaled's songs are literally just samples from other songs, which proves he is only in it for the money.
He doesn't even live up to his "DJ" name because you can almost never tell when it's him if you remove his vocals from a song. Usually, in music, DJs are recognized for their unique sounds. He should just retire and take care of his children.

Kanye West

Ye (born Kanye Omari West. June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. He is regarded as one of the most influential and controversial artists of the 21st century.
Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, West initially gained fame as a producer for Roc-A-Fella... read more

I never thought I would do this, and it deeply saddens me to say so, but there's a big reason why: Ye's music is becoming just as bad as his character.
Like many people of my generation, I grew up a fan of Kanye's music. I even forgave him after he crashed Taylor Swift's VMA speech in 2009. However, like pretty much every Kanye fan, I've grown tired of defending him for at least four years, and his antisemitic and anti-Black posts have been the final nail in the coffin.
I haven't even listened to Donda 2, but I heard from a lot of people that it's an unfinished mess, which makes me glad I'm staying away from it. I think what Ye needs right now is to take a break from everything and seek treatment. Enough said.

The Contenders

Gayle

To be honest, although ABCDEFU isn't good, I'm starting to think it's not as bad as some people say.
Sia

Sia Kate Isobelle Furler (born December 18, 1975), referred to mononymously as Sia, is an Australian singer and songwriter. She released her debut album in 1997 but mainly gained mainstream attention in the 2010s.
Born and raised in Adelaide, she started her career as a singer in the acid jazz... read more

Not only is she an ableist, but on her latest songs, she sounds like she's trying to be as annoying as possible. Success has definitely gone to Sia's head, and she desperately needs a break from the spotlight if she wants to come back stronger.

I've listened to a few of her older songs, and they were good, but all her newer songs are trash.
Tom MacDonald

Thomas "Tom" MacDonald, born on September 21, 1988, is a Canadian rapper, songwriter, and former professional wrestler. He first gained attention with his 2017 song "Dear Rappers" and has since built a large independent following, with several songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Fake... read more

Let's stop giving attention to Tommy the McDonald Clown.
Payden McKnight
Tory Lanez

Daystar Peterson, known professionally as Tory Lanez, is a Canadian rapper and singer. He gained significant recognition for his mixtape Lost Cause and the hit singles "Say It" and "Luv." These tracks reached numbers 23 and 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, respectively.... read more

He never had any charisma to begin with, and he shot Megan Thee Stallion. Any artist who did such horrible acts deserves to be canceled.
Submarine Man

Water Handblast, born Ardy Robert Andrews, is better known by his stage name Submarine Man. He is an American rapper known for his heavily Auto-Tuned vocals and lyrics that often centre on unusual themes, including foot fetishes. His distinctive style has earned him a niche following online.
Ava Max

Amanda Ava Koci (born February 16, 1994), better known by her stage name Ava Max, is an American singer and songwriter. She rose to fame in the late 2010s with her breakthrough single "Sweet but Psycho," which topped the charts in over 20 countries. Ava Max has also released several other successful... read more

She has to be the worst role model and singer of this generation. How is ripping off other media works considered being a good role model? Shaking my head.

She was good at first, but her newer music is incredibly boring and shows that she lacks personality.

I wish she made music back in the 90s and 2000s instead.
Yeat
DaBaby

Jonathan Lyndale Kirk (born December 22, 1991), known professionally as DaBaby and formerly as Baby Jesus, is an American rapper. He rose to mainstream prominence in 2019 with the release of his debut studio album Baby on Baby, which featured the hit single Suge. Before that, he gained attention through... read more

His music has become so one-note and cannot save the many controversies he has found himself in over the past months.
Jason Derulo

Jason Joel Desrouleaux, known professionally as Jason Derulo, is an American singer, songwriter, and dancer. He rose to fame with his debut single "Whatcha Say," which was released in 2009 and went triple platinum. Other hit singles include "Ridin' Solo," "In My Head," "Wiggle," "Talk Dirty," "Trumpets... read more

He's never been a great singer, and I don't understand how he's still making hits today. He also gets into fights.

I don't know how he could still be making hits after 10 years. Most of them aren't even good.
Bebe Rexha

Bleta "Bebe" Rexha (born August 30, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer of Albanian descent. She signed with Warner Records in 2013 and was credited with co-writing releases for other artists, including Eminem's Grammy Award-winning single "The Monster," before furthering her... read more

I'd like to think she's a talented singer, but most of her songs seem like a waste of talent.
Chad Kroeger

Chad Robert Kroeger is a Canadian musician and producer best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the rock band Nickelback.
He was married to Avril Lavigne from 2013 until their separation in 2015, and their divorce was finalized in 2016.... read more

His vocals haven't improved. He even tries to imitate James Hetfield on Nickelback's latest single with horrible results.
Lil Droptop Golf Cart
Sean Paul

Sean Paul Ryan Francis Henriques, born on January 9, 1973, is a Jamaican rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor. He is known for his distinctive voice and dancehall music style. His singles "Get Busy" and "Temperature" both reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

He was good in the 2000s, but now I feel like he's overstayed his welcome. Every time I hear a song by him, it feels like reliving the same moment again and again, just with a different song, similar to Jason Derulo.
