Top 10 Worst Songs of All Time

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.

This might be objectively the worst Nicki Minaj song besides "Beez in the Trap," "Pound the Alarm" (both also released the same year as this song), and "Big Foot" (this last one actually might be worse).

This one also gets a top 10 mention because of the stupid whooping sound that makes up the beat - a sound that makes me want to shoot myself, by the way - and the repetition of "stupid hoe" over and over again. Absolutely annoying.

To paint an accurate picture of how terrible this song is, let's compare it to every other song in the top 10.

Baby- This song is just another disposable pop song. The melody isn't bad, but Bieber's voice is annoying. The song is repetitive, and the lyrics are pretty stupid.

Friday- Same situation as above, but Rebecca Black's voice is even more annoying, and the lyrics are even more stupid.

The Best of Both Worlds- I don't watch Hannah Montana, but this doesn't really sound that bad. I've heard several of Miley Cyrus's singles, and this one's far from the worst. The music and lyrics are okay, but once again, the vocals are annoying.

Gangnam Style- I don't hate this one either. The song isn't that great, but coupled with the video, it was funny for a few viewings.

Sexy and I Know It- Okay, this one's pretty bad, but the worst of it is the video. The song mainly features some overly cocky individuals who think they're so sexy, but really, they're not. It's a pretty annoying song, but not the worst I've heard.

Crank That- This one's awful, almost as bad as Stupid Hoe. However, the song is moderately catchy, and you can dance to it a little. The lyrics are mostly a mess of nonsensical words thrown into a chorus and some haphazard verses. Ultimately, though, this one's still better than Stupid Hoe because the beat doesn't really get on my nerves that much.

What Makes You Beautiful- Musically, this one's okay. It's upbeat and catchy. Lyrically, this song is terrible and creepy.

Achy Breaky Heart- Same case as with "Baby" and "Friday." Okay melody, annoying vocalist, really stupid lyrics.

Never Say Never- Okay, I think at this point people are just voting for Bieber because he's an easy target. This song is just mediocre, and I'm not even sure why people remember it. The only thing that really stands out is how he keeps saying "Never" despite saying he's not going to.

And now for Stupid Hoe... Oh,... more

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

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.

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.

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.

I remember when I was younger, my friend's dad would turn this on whenever he wanted to torture and entertain us at the same time. As stupid and pointless as this song is, it's nothing compared to the countless moments flashing at your face every five seconds during that unfortunate video.

This is the worst group and the worst song. Have you seen their hairstyles? They're weird, or you could say the worst.

Songs that are meant to be party songs all the time don't work. That is, if we can even call them party songs.

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.

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.

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.

Coffee is such a horrible topic for a song. Also she's whiny and sounds creepy. I'd rather listen to Call Me Maybe, Boom Clap, and Sweet but Psycho.

Boy bands have two categories for their songs to fall into: Decent or Annoying/Boring. Guess which one this song falls into? If you said the secret one, "Automatically turn the band into a joke for anyone other than hormonal teenage girls," you are correct! This was 1D's first and possibly biggest hit, and it is played everywhere and constantly. The worst part is that it's awful the first time you hear it and just gets worse the more you listen to it. The "singing" is really whiny, the instruments sound like they were ripped from GarageBand, and the lyrics are the typical pandering boy band ones. It is a shame that this disaster of a song was their first song, as it forever tarnished how I thought of them. The only song I can listen to without getting a headache is "Drag Me Down."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This song is just objectively terrible and probably the worst song Rihanna has ever done. Not only is the repetition of the word "cake" (obviously a double entendre for "ass") absolutely grating, but the musical content is distasteful.

I get that this was the era when Rihanna wanted to boost her sex appeal, but inviting Chris Brown to feature on this track is absolutely insane. His first lyrics are, "Girl, I wanna **** you right now. Been a long time, I've been missing your body."

Absolutely disgusting. I hate Chris Brown. Thinking he has the right to sleep with any woman after what he did to Rihanna - beat her to a pulp - is outrageous. I don't know what was going through Rihanna's head inviting him on. If I were her, I would get myself as far away from him as possible.

I still think he should serve time for what he did. Women beaters need to face consequences. I spit on him.

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.

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.

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?

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.

I've always hated BOTDF, but this song just made me hate them even more. Dahvie Vanity is telling an 11-year-old girl to kill herself! What kind of screwed-up human being would say stuff like that to an 11-year-old?

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.

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.
