Top 10 Worst Songs of All Time

The Top Ten
Baby - Justin Bieber

How is this not higher up? I apologize if I am offending any Justin Bieber fans, but it needs to be said. He can't sing. He moans and shrieks. He's a horribly fake person, not actually nice, and he can't write songs to save his life.

I mean, I've tried to write songs before, and it went horribly wrong, but it was still easier to listen to than his shrieking. I just feel sorry for Selena Gomez if she ever has to hear him "singing" in the shower.

The lyrics are even worse than the music of Blood on the Dance Floor. It's just Baby, baby, baby repeated again and again. No passion, no real voice, no heart, no soul. This song contains nothing that a good song should have.

Stupid Hoe - Nicki Minaj

I know people like to clown on Baby, but this is actually the worst song ever. The vocals are grating and robotic. The lyrics are simple gibberish.

It is a diss track against Lil' Kim, who isn't all that bad. It's also repetitive. Why do people like this song?

I get Big Foot from 2024, but this?

Ew. What is this? It is extremely repetitive, and what are those bubble-popping noises?

It is such a failed diss track against Lil' Kim, to be honest. This is my least favorite hit song of 2012 and might be the worst song that entered the Billboard Hot 100 in the 2010s.

0/10 Atrocious Song

Friday - Rebecca Black

This represents the first of the music industry-YouTube crossover, and it started off with a song that bombed so hard everyone made parody videos making fun of it. This poor girl had to make a song so soulless and corporate-sounding (to be fair, it was made for YouTube, and it was made in 2011) that she could never make another song in her career ever again.

Although there are other YouTube artists widely seen as bad (see Jojo Siwa, Jacob Sartorius, Dream, Alison Gold), none have bombed as hard as this.

I like how everyone thinks Rebecca Black is garbage overall solely because of this song. It's overhated, and Rebecca is a fun person.

Despite it being overhated, this song sucks, especially in the vocal department. Holy hell, Rebecca's voice here is terrible. It's so nasally and overautotuned that it sounds really annoying. The repetitive lyrics that were clearly written by a five-year-old (seriously, you couldn't think of any better lyrics aside from "partying, partying, fun, fun, fun"?) are also a massive issue. Thankfully, Rebecca proved she is capable of more than just garbage like this. -1/5

Anaconda - Nicki Minaj

It has a pretty good beat, but it rips off Baby Got Back, which is also awful, and the lyrics are crap. I equally hate both this and Baby Got Back, to be honest.

2/10 Terrible Song

This is a rip-off of Baby Got Back. The lyrics "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon" came from Baby Got Back long before Nicki Minaj had that song. Baby Got Back is a song from the 90s.

Anaconda. It's a long story.

When one listens to a song, what do they look for? Naturally, someone would reply with something along the lines of a catchy beat or meaningful, powerful lyrics, instruments, or vocals. However, Anaconda manages to defy many of those things. It employs techniques that make rap songs detestable, "technology" meaning techniques used in the song.

Yes, the beat is catchy. However, it is not creatively made and is simply sampled from another song. The trademark line, "My anaconda don't want none, unless you got buns, hon," is sampled from "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. One thing that a large number of people dislike, based on my personal experience, is the appropriation and use of another artist's beat. Many modern songs do this, yes, but it is still frowned upon by many people.

Secondly, the lyrics. The lyrics have a meaningless concept. If you were to look up the lyrics to Anaconda, the song is just references to mindlessly taking drugs, drinking irresponsibly, and mainly focusing on prostitution and sex appeal. There is no deeper meaning behind what is found there. The song lyrics are literally about mindless irresponsibility.

Thirdly, the music video and musical effects created by the artist. While this has become a popular thing, many still frown upon it. Twerking. Nicki Minaj heavily twerks in the music video. While it does attract members of a certain audience, she went over the line. She also made numerous ridiculous, pointless noises.

If you like the song and appreciate what she does, that's your business. You can enjoy what you want to enjoy. The above was just my personal opinion about the song.

#selfie - The Chainsmokers

Please realize, people, this is not a legitimate song. It's making fun of girls who engage in the activities depicted in the song. Your saying that it's horrible is exactly what The Chainsmokers wanted. It's supposed to be horrible.

This isn't even real music. It's really the worst song ever. The lady isn't really singing. She's just having a conversation. This should hit number one easily. What happened to the old music with The Beatles and Led Zeppelin?

If it were a grade, I would give it an F. If it were a score, I would give it 1.7 out of 10, or even one out of five stars. I'd rather listen to Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin than listen to this crappy junk.

Sexy and I Know It - LMFAO

My least favorite #1 hit from 2011. It is so annoying and might even be my least favorite #1 hit of the 2010s, even though that was a good decade for music and better than the 2020s.

The lyrics are absolutely horrible, and it has a bland party beat. I really hate hearing this with a passion. But hey, Adele shut this cringy piece of garbage down with her beautiful hits.

1/10 Atrocious Song

If you're going to create a 'sex song', at least make it enjoyable. I feel that this song will give anyone who listens to it erectile dysfunction.

Gangnam Style - Psy

I can't believe how this "song" got so popular. It's just a Korean guy doing stupid dance moves. I don't know what the lyrics are, but I don't want to know. I'm sure they are extremely inane.

The worst of all is that this song was literally everywhere. In supermarkets, in shops, through loudspeakers, in theaters, even in my school. Basically, every single public place I went to had the damn song playing. Thankfully, not even his mom remembers it now. Thank God.

And 2 billion views on YouTube! Seriously? Two billion? Two-fifths of Earth's population saw this? Okay, now the music world is doomed forever.

Watch Me - Silento

I can accept this being #8 on the list, but it's definitely a very poor dance song. Cupid Shuffle is way better, and even Justin Bieber's Baby is much better than this.

I understand a lot of the hip hop dance crowd is gonna come rushing to defend this song, but I don't care. It sucks. The vocals are annoying and don't actually represent anything besides how to whip and nae nae, which caught on as the most memorable trend of 2015.

The song is repetitive as hell and deserves to be in the top 10.

This song is so unoriginal. It steals from other garbage rap dance songs. It's annoying, but even worse, it was played everywhere! You couldn't leave your house without hearing this being played.

Even worse, this song is like cancer - it took a long time to go away, but somehow it keeps coming back.

This crap is a pain to listen to, with repetitive lyrics that give "Baby" and "Friday" a run for their money. Silento has the most annoying voice ever, so it sounds like that cringy kid in your school who won't stop talking about how crap like this is great.

This song proves why I absolutely hate modern pop and rap music. This song defines everything wrong with modern music, and I NEVER want to hear this horrible, annoying, repetitive garbage called a "song" ever again.

I hope Silento is happy with all the money he got from this song because he doesn't deserve anything after making this horrible abomination of music.

Crank That - Soulja Boy

Garbage! Stupid, disgusting, and the lyrics don't even make sense. It's just screaming and repeating random things over and over again.

Once, I saw a comment saying that this is better than Bohemian Rhapsody. No, just no. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the 15 greatest songs of all time and it's a lot better than this piece of trash.

No one cares about Soulja Boy anymore. No wonder if Soulja Boy works at McDonald's, Burger King, or even at Pizza Hut.

I always hated this song! It's one of the worst songs ever. There's just no worse or stupider artist than Soulja Boy. Once, I saw him pulling down his pants to show his underwear. Eww, that's just gross and stupid.

And also, this song gave me some of the worst memories as a kid. I remember listening to it on the radio every day and always asking my parents to put on another song.

Soulja Boy, I'm sorry, but you're probably the worst rapper ever.

Never Say Never - Justin Bieber

I think this is worse than Baby. After all, one time in my elementary school, when we were studying for the EOGs, we had to sing a parody of this song to motivate us. I know Baby is bad, but this song proves JB made songs worse than Baby. Not to mention, other songs such as Stupid Hoe and Anaconda are worse.

Never say never? Really? You just said it a million times in your crappy song. If I had to choose between an ant and Justin Bieber to live, it would be the ant. At least ants work hard.

Never say never. But he just said it twice.

The Newcomers

? Twitch is Hentai - Nux Taku

This was on the worst songs list, and it's an awful parody of the already awful song Bad Guy.

? Dead Men Don't Rape - Delilah Bon

Delilah Bon getting a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 would be my biggest nightmare in music. She is the worst rapper ever. She makes ppcocaine and Tekashi look great in comparison.

The Contenders
What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction

More like "What Makes You Annoying." This song has a catchy rhythm and melody, but the lyrics and vocals are grating. Simple and generic.

I hate the instrumentation as well, and ironically, I hate the guitar way more than I hate the synth. It makes me wonder what older generations really want. They say they want the guitar back, but what they really want is good guitar. So they don't like this song after all.

I've started to hear this song on the radio every 1-2 days since 09/24/2024, when they edited their radio playlist.

I Love You - Barney

Some kids' show songs are catchy, I admit, and they are meant for kids, so I understand. However, I honestly don't like this song. It is stupid, and Barney can't sing. Though the lyrics have a good message, I just find the song bad. I don't like any Barney songs, although I have heard worse songs that are not kids' songs.

I hate this! I hate you, you hate me, let's gang up to kill Barney! He's awful, ugly, scary, and teaches bad things to kids, like talking to strangers and stealing. Barney needs a diaper around his mouth because all the crap comes out of there.

Boyfriend - Justin Bieber

The lyrics are horrible! I mean, who wants to eat fondue by the fire? And why would you call your girlfriend a Buzz Lightyear toy? (Don't get me wrong. I love Toy Story, but hearing this in a pop song, especially a Justin Bieber song, is mediocre at best.)

And he keeps repeating swag over and over again until he says that atrocious word: SWAGGIE! And the music in the background is horrible too. It sounds like a dying ambulance siren. Let's all hope his 15 minutes of fame are up, and we'll never have to see him again.

Barbie Girl - Aqua

Probably one of the worst songs ever made, definitely not just top 10 but top 5 or even 3. It is legitimately that bad.

It just sounds like they made the song for a kids' commercial - soulless corporate commercial garbage with high-pitched squealing for vocals. But no, it was made for the Hot 100, and it made it up there. Unbelievable.

This song was the worst song ever created in the name of humanity, despite its catchiness. The lyrics are so disturbing that they go too far.

To be honest, it's a weird song about a girly, plastic doll that we already know today, going on a sexually explicit rampage, as the lyrics say. Also, Ken sounded more like Pitbull than the actual Ken. It's even worse that the word "hanky-panky" was... I don't want to define that word. It's disturbing as I write this comment.

Despite the song being bad, like I said, it's catchy enough. It would be better if the song were purely clean and made for children with better writing and more complexity. Not just a lot of inappropriate imagery for poor 10-year-old, innocent kids who wanted to hear some catchy tunes but were glad they didn't understand the lyrics.

I hope that Mattel gets triggered after hearing that gritty song.

Mark my words, I will incinerate every Barbie doll and that CD copy of the song as many as I can.

DDLG - Ppcocaine

The second worst song I have heard after Tom MacDonald and Ben Shapiro's Facts. This song is extremely irritating and offensive. It often makes me feel nauseous. I hate this song so much I would do anything to make Ppcocaine cry for a long time.

Ppcocaine should stop making more screeching abominations. What happened to all the good music? It died in 2020!

Reasons why this is one of the worst songs of all time:

1. The vocals are scratchy and could make your eardrums bleed.
2. The lyrics are disgusting.
3. The song title refers to one of the least kid-friendly things ever.
4. The beat drops sound like farts.
5. It begins with a creepy lullaby that concerned an entire generation of parents.
6. The music video is disgusting.
7. The song cover is horrible.
8. It promotes pedophilia.
9. There is nothing good about it.
10. It's one of the least kid-friendly songs ever.

All About that Bass - Meghan Trainor

When this came out, I wanted to saw my ears off. I hate the stupid doo-wop beat, and I hate the message of the song: "Oh, don't disrespect overweight women. Be proud of them" (which is fine), but "Women who happen to be skinny or work out: you deserve to go to hell" (not ok).

Meghan Trainor obviously wants to project her insecurities onto the world rather than make good music.

The basic message of the song is, "No, overweight people, you shouldn't be concerned with the way you look. No need to exercise, go on diets, or do anything with your body! Keep munching on those drumsticks because you're perfect the way you are. But if you are skinny, however, oh God, help you. You are obviously a snobby, bigoted jerk who should be discriminated against at all costs, and that totally doesn't sound hypocritical in the slightest!"

Yeah, Meghan Trainor sucks. She is a bad, forgettable singer, an awful role model, and generally a hypocrite. I'm going to go listen to some Hollywood Undead now.

Sweatshirt - Jacob Sartorius

Another famously bad YouTube artist that deserves no recognition because this song was trash. It sounds (again) soulless. The stupid 8-bit sound that is his attempt to sound "internet relatable" is so cringe.

This dude has no talent and uses a ton of autotune to mask how bad he is.

Justin Bieber had talent, even though it was barely there (look at his acoustic recordings from way back on YouTube), while this singer can't sing at all. Sure, it's catchy, but in a terrible way because his screeching voice is drowned in autotune and annoying beats.

I mean, if I have to be honest, Jacob is getting way too much hate for a little kid, and I don't think he should be getting that much hate. But honestly, that's just the way the internet is. Face reality, kid.

And his video - who the hell would want to wear a sweatshirt that's been mopping the gross school floors? Can't wait to see this song climb this chart, but fall on its bottom on all other charts.

Birthday Cake - Rihanna

I really dislike this song, and so does my mom. It drives me nuts when they repeat "Cake," and then Chris Brown comes in and spews garbage. Also, he says, "It's been a long time, I have missed your body." There's no reason for that. Chris beat her up, so why is he saying this? There's also so much cussing in the song that it makes my mom hate it.

The synth that sounds like a power drill, the skull-cracking, repetitive lyrics, and creepy atmosphere are all bad enough. But one thing makes this even worse: it features the man who beat up Rihanna. He says, "Been a long time, I've been missing your body. Let me turn the lights down."

And later, Rihanna says, "Remember how you did it?"

Are you kidding me?

The Best of Both Worlds - Hannah Montana

I'm going to tell you this: never watch Hannah Montana unless you're trying to get something out of your throat. Because then, that show would be useful.

I agree with most of this list, but Toni Basil's "Mickey"? You can't seriously think that's worse than Hannah Montana. It is Toni's worst song, but I love Toni Basil and her work with Devo.

The first show to ruin the Disney Channel. It's so overrated. This show just makes kids want to be tacky pop singers instead of something practical. That's So Raven is better.

Stimulated - Tyga

A pedophile anthem! It has the worst lyrics of 2015. It also has no beat to it. It is just him saying "Stimulated" and other gross, pedophilic, and irritating stuff!

Glad that this did not chart. It is so bad.

0/10 Atrocious Song

How is this song not higher on the list? I get that this song didn't chart at all, but it's about Tyga having sex with Kylie Jenner when she was only 17. This song could be used as evidence in court if Tyga ever goes to jail. I wish this song were popular, not because it's enjoyable (it sure as hell isn't), but because maybe the police might hear it and arrest Tyga.

And the worst part is that this song samples a Robert Miles song called "Children." Yes, Tyga thought that sampling a song called "Children" would be good for his pedophile anthem. Easily one of the worst songs ever. 2015 was such a great year for music, and this song almost ruined it.

Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke

The reason this song is on my top ten is not because of the beat. The beat or background music isn't the problem, although it does sound like a stupid Google ad that plays when I'm trying to watch a video.

No, the reason this is up here is because of the sheer lack of holding back when it comes to the cringe chauvinist/misogynist foreplay that douchebag Robin Thickhead engages in lyrically. Also, Pharrell being in this is insane. The fact that this song got as popular as it did eludes me. Catchy beats make misogyny ok, I guess.

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

Ah, Billy Ray. Your song ended up on my list because of how stupid it is. You think "My Achy Breaky Heart" is gonna be cool with the kids anywhere?

The youngest person who would be a fan of this cringe material is 40 years old and lives on a farm 10 miles away from your Nashville mansion.

Megadeth would have actually topped the Billboard 200 with Countdown to Extinction had it not been for the popularity of this song, which allowed Billy Ray Cyrus to keep his album secured in the top spot. So, Megadeth apparently holds a grudge against Billy Ray Cyrus for that.

That said, this song is arguably the most annoying country track of the '90s. It says a lot when Weird Al satirizes it while openly expressing his dislike.

Gucci Gang - Lil Pump

This one is so annoying that I had to put it on my top 10 worst. It's just bad in every way possible: the vocals and rapping are indicative of negative talent, the dude has high school rizz but that's where he peaked, and the lyrics are just mumbling about repetitive cliché flexes.

This song is hot garbage.

Okay, it's kind of catchy, but I don't like it.

The lyrics: They don't mean anything. What does "Gucci Gang" mean? And it has no message, no story. It's not about anything. It's all about drugs and sex.

It sounds terrible. I get a headache every time I hear this piece of crap.

It's overrated. How could more than 7,000,000 people like that? It's really annoying. It doesn't deserve that popularity. Lil Pump is an untalented idiot. I mean, he's not even 18 and he's smoking, drinking, and doing drugs? And he got a lot of money only because he's "rapping" made-up words and creating annoying and cringy songs? What?

You Done Goofed - Blood on the Dance Floor

This song is genuinely disturbing. Who says this stuff to an 11-year-old girl? This should be much higher on the list. Most of the songs above it are just annoying and stupid, but at least they aren't tormenting a child over accusations as serious as pedophilia.

This song is just so plain mean and insulting. Dahvie Vanity tells a young girl to kill herself for accusing him of something he possibly did. Calling her a bunch of bad names and wishing death on a young girl is not just bullying, but cruel, evil, and tormenting. He could have taught the girl a lesson about how she made a mistake instead of insulting her.

Fack - Eminem

Worst song from Eminem. Everything about this song is disgusting and ear-grating. I cannot believe this "song" exists.

0/10 Abomination Song

His voice is trash. Em is usually decent, but this song is terrible. It's the worst song, along with Axel F by Crazy Frog. I heard this being played at a store when I was 8, and I was extremely annoyed. Yep, 2005 was the absolute worst year for music. 2010 and 2011 are better.

(Written on April 2, 2011)

2024 edit: Still hate this song!

Eminem is an awesome artist (he was, at least, in Lose Yourself), and for most of us, he is our favorite rapper in the industry. Then later, when he was drunk and bored, he decided to make this piece of crap. It seems like he doesn't know much about his singing voice, so he decided to impersonate Eric Cartman from South Park.

He says really gross stuff, for example, shoving a gerbil through a tube. Overall, I wouldn't recommend listening to this song ever.
