Top 10 Worst Songs of 2022

Just another immature, faux-pop-punk song made by an Olivia Rodrigo wannabe. "10 Things I Hate About You" was already average, immature, and unoriginal enough, but this song just confirms that this singer has no personality whatsoever and is just an opportunist. At least "abcdefu" is catchy, but this is not. It's also disturbing to know that Leah Kate is approximately 10 years older than Gayle and still manages to make music that's even more immature than the latter's.

Here comes another Olivia Rodrigo wannabe. The lyrics of this song are extremely offensive, and I think that this is even worse than abcdefu. It sounds like she's trying so hard to be like Olivia Rodrigo but falls flat on her face. This is probably mainstream pop punk at its worst.

Additionally, she ruined a classic nursery rhyme here. I watched Anthony Fantano's review on this song, and he said it's the worst TikTok song of all time. I actually agree with him. He also mentioned that Olivia's influence is not having the best results.

Get this song above "I'm Good (Blue)" now. Its sample of "Never Gonna Give You Up" is definitely a bigger offender than "I'm Good (Blue)". Plus, Rick Astley sued Yung Gravy for impersonating him.

More cringe comedic rap. Not even funny. The rickroll is so outdated and overused, and the song's composition is lazy and non-energizing.

Rick Astley just sued Yung Gravy over this song, claiming his voice was "nearly indistinguishable" on "Betty (Get Money)".

Another awful song from Tyga. The lyrics are pretty bad and repetitive too. Hopefully, Tyga fades into irrelevancy and never makes another hit.

How the heck is Tyga still popular?

The title of the song and the fact that it's by Tyga is enough to make me not want to listen to this song. Everything Tyga puts out is either obnoxious, annoying, incredibly sexist, boring, bland, or just plain bad.

God... Lil Pump fell off so hard, and this song with Soulja Boy proves it.

This has the picture of Mona Lisa. Why are you disrespecting this?

I thought Lil Pump was no longer a thing by 2020...

Another generic track with Drake on the vocals, talking about how "people wanted him to die" even though he grew up doing Degrassi at 15. DJ Khaled - swing and a miss.

Such a terrible interpolation of The Bee Gees on this dull track that's going to be forgotten as fast as it came out. DJ Parody Khaled is hopefully already fading into irrelevancy with his new album, which is just as dull.

Say what you will about Betty (Get Money), but at least that was an entertaining and fun song that actually did something with its sample. This is just another below-average DJ Khaled and Drake collab song with a boring and dull beat, and Drake phoning his verse in yet again with a very bad interpolation of the Bee Gees classic chorus on the hook. Even Lil Baby's guest verse couldn't save this song.

People, for heaven's sake, stop making interpolations of popular Top 40 songs and turning them into trash.

This makes the original "I'm Blue" look like Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

It is just a lazy sample of "I'm Blue" by Eiffel 65.

Oh no!
Oh hell no!
This is basically Leah Kate's first single, and it sounds horrible! Sure, it doesn't sound worse than TTLB per se, but it's still terrible. I've listened to this song too many times. It's overplayed and getting worse every hour it plays.

Okay, first off, Leah Kate sounds like an Olivia Rodrigo wannabe, and that's obviously a bad sign. Her vocals are whiny in this song, the lyrics are terrible and make it a bad breakup song. The instrumental tries too hard to be considered pop-punk. It's just bad.

As PieGuyRulz likes to say, this is a Scum song. This song is annoying, stupid, incredibly boring, and a waste of time.

This song is so bad that I honestly think it makes Jake Paul's "It's Everyday Bro" look like a masterpiece. The lyrics are horrible, and I don't think Amouranth had any musical experience prior to this.

The production on this track is terrible, and the rapping sounds like that chick talking on "#Selfie". It's also very sad to read that Amouranth made this song because she had an abusive husband.

Just your average bad rap song by a big-name YouTuber who has very little to no experience in rapping or making music beforehand. Nothing more to say here. Moving on.

Generic garbage from Chris Brown. By the way, what is wrong with the audio on this track? The vocals and surrounding chords/melody are dulled, but the bass is loud. Horrible production.

Another uncreative song made by Chris Clown. When will he finally stop urinating on popular music?

Just another lame song made by Chris Brown. He should just stop making music already because most of his songs from 2014 to the present are bad. His pre-2014 stuff (even after he assaulted Rihanna, but that's the worst thing he ever did) was somewhat decent, but this song is just screaming TikTok to me.

This song is as obnoxious as its title may suggest. It's no wonder Olly Murs is not relevant anymore, even in his native UK.

Complete garbage. It was promising at the start. I thought I was going to get some decent 2000s pop-punk throwback, but instead, the chorus was cacophonous throw-up.

This should be No. 1 and higher than any Yung Lambo songs. This song is completely abysmal. It sounds like a dying whale. So whiny and annoying.

I really hate this song so much that it's at the top of my list. It makes "Iffy" sound like a masterpiece.

One question: how is the Skittles man not in jail and why is he making such terrible, obnoxious, and annoying songs that I want to rip my own ears off and have them for breakfast? (A little too far, but that's what I feel like every time I hear this Skittle-haired pedophile.) He sucks at making music and should've just stopped making music in 2019. Just goes to show how bad Snitch9ine, the Skittle Man, is getting over the years.

- KelseyPower

It's obvious by that picture that it's going to be a disaster of a song. Normally, you shouldn't judge a song by its cover, but it's excusable this time because it's 6ix9ine.

Fantano ranked this song #2 on his list of the worst songs of 2022. I haven't even listened to it, but I still think it sucks because it was made by Tommy the MacDonald Clown and another idiot.

This very song itself and the 2023 Grammy performance of this song is just a prime example of how music is no longer like it used to be. It is THAT bad, and I mean HORRIBLE.

Sam Smith really thought he went so hard with this song, but the very song itself is incredibly unoriginal. And Kim Petras' line was the worst line I have ever heard. Music these days is just full of untalented artists. They're not worth listening to. Can he PLEASE go back to making his boring music so I can just not hear from this guy anymore?

Ranked #3 worst song of 2022 by Anthony Fantano, and it's totally normal because this song sucks so damn hard.

Another atrocious song made by Kid Rock. Much worse than "Don't Tell Me How To Live".

This song is just a troll. Please don't take it seriously. It's just a joke.

This song needs to be higher on this list. The lyrics are so perverted and degrading they seem to have been written by a 15-year-old, while MGK is 32. It also sounds like a bad Good Charlotte song.

This should be WAY higher, like in the top 3. MGK is 32 years old but acts like he's a teenage emo. It's one of the worst songs on an album with TERRIBLE production and whiny songs.

At least this is getting the backlash it deserves from the comment section.

An annoying song with a bland beat and Adam Levine belting out like a decaying goat. It was just released as a radio single in some countries, but it's going to tank for sure.

Yet another mainstream pop song with Adam's dog whistle voice.

Honestly, labels should REALLY stop releasing posthumous projects/songs from deceased artists. I feel like it's very disrespectful, and it's also a middle finger to the artist as well. Biggie and 2Pac must be rolling in their graves.

To be honest, why release projects and songs from deceased artists? This song just has a dull beat and lyrics. It shouldn't have been made in the first place. Just let The Notorious B.I.G. rest, and people should stop releasing posthumous projects.

I think posthumous releases need to stop, not gonna lie. The Notorious B.I.G. has been dead for years, and yet this year, his label decided to drop this posthumous song, which has really bad mixing. People really need to stop creating atrociously mixed and unfinished projects from dead artists in general, because this just isn't it. It's like insulting someone's grave when they are dead.

Ironically, I could barely recognize what this song sampled until the end of its actual sample.

Another atrocity from Lil Pump. As usual, the lyrics are pretty generic (like most modern rap lyrics) and awful, and Anthony Fantano didn't like this track either. And no, it doesn't look like you're back, Lil Pump. It looks like people forgot that you existed. He should stay in 2018 and 2018 only.

Yet another generic and impersonal song by Lilliam Pumpernickel. Let's leave him back in the late 2010s already.

Wow, this song is awful. This song literally sounds like some cringy parody of a song I haven't even heard of. The instrumental is garbage, the rapping doesn't match the instrumental, and the autotune! The freaking autotune! The autotune in this song is unbearable. It sounds like some male Siri/Amazon Alexa/Microsoft Cortana ripoff just woke up from an eight-day-long nap. It's that awful! And the worst part about this song is that it was made popular on TikTok. TikTok! No wonder those immature teens don't know good music. It's just sad that they haven't heard of actually good bands like Queen, Metallica, Radiohead, The Used, or Led Zeppelin. Instead, they listen to mostly soon-to-be one-hit wonders like this song and other crappy songs (except for "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac, which is a good song).

Overall, I give this song a -35/10 star rating because it's just awful, definitely one of the worst songs of 2022.

KelseyPower out!

I hate this song so much. It's like the kids bop version of itself especially with that awkward 'I MADE YOU LOOK' at the end of the chorus which sounds straight outta something kids bop would write. It's like all about that bass but worse. The lyrics are basically her flexing luxury stuff but with some 'body empowerment' message that I fail to see over an either grating or barely existent backing track. Meghan normally isn't too bad but this song I find to be pretty terrible.

I like most of Meghan Trainor's music, but this song is garbage.
