Top 10 Most Overplayed Music Artists of 2018

Ariana Grande's music is so generic and uninteresting, it's the kind of trite you'd hear in McDonald's. I especially hate that disasterpiece with the name Thank You Next. A LOT. It's so annoying and terrible, yet it's played everywhere!

I should do an experiment where I turn on a radio station for about four hours and see how many times it gets played.

Let me be honest; Ariana Grande is liked for her talent in singing and acting, but she's so overrated. Now her music is just getting crappy and overplayed, it's the same songs I hear on the radio, either it's Thank u, next or Breathin'. The only song I'm just really glad that doesn't play on the radio by her anymore is God Is A Woman, and I'd like to keep it that way. I hated it ever since I first started hearing it. And it's not just God Is A Woman. It's also No Tears Left To Cry and Side To Side. Here's why she's not really my favorite in singing anymore. Her new songs revolve around someone stealing her boyfriend and stuff like that, while her old songs in her 2013 album were actually good. Plus I like her because of her adorable acting as Cat from Victorious.

Ariana is okay, her songs are pretty okay, (except for God Is A Woman, and Boyfriend.) But even I have to admit, she plays a lot on the radio. But at the same time, I disagree, because she doesn't play as much as Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Taylor Swift, Post Malone, Pink, Maroon 5, or even Sam Smith. Like, I could literally turn on the radio and all I would hear is Havana, Delicate, There's Nothing Holding Me Back, Stitches, Perfect, Shape Of You, Too Good At Goodbyes, Girls Like You, What About Us, or Better Now. Forget what I said about Ariana being extremely overrated. She's not even played that much compared to the singers I just listed here. The only songs I heard a few times from her was Breathin' Thank u, Next and No Tears Left To Cry and 7 Rings (only once). I hear Shape Of You or Treat You Better almost everyday, so I just stop listening to Kiss 92.5 altogether. I listen to 98.1 CHFI because they play songs from the 2000's and 2010-12 by Beyonce, Katy Perry, ...more

Ariana Grande was completely and annoyingly overrated in 2018. People argued with me saying that it's cause she was actually good. No she wasn't. 2-3 of her songs were good but oh my gosh why does every single song this woman release have to be printed into the holy bible? People hype her songs way more than they should. A lot of her songs were really uncreative and had really mediocre and boring melodies. I think it's safe to say people were so obsessed with her last year cause she's pretty and cute cause her music really is nothing special.

My least favorite artist. Her music is bland and her lyrics are just are just mean less junk for people who think being rich is a personality trait

I swear to god, the more I listen to this woman, the less I like her.

She makes amazing songs that can help you feel better after a bad day. Her voice skills are amazing

I love her and hoe she imbraces her culture in her music STOP HATING ON TALENT

I don't like ariana grande, but she looks like an angel next to drake. I've hated his music since I was in third grade.

Drake was streamed like mad that year and I kept hearing his voice everywhere. I don't even hate Drake but Scorpion was such an awful album.

I definitely think he was more overplayed that year than Ariana Grande he had 7-8 songs that got big (most of which were pretty boring) Ariana had only 2-3.

Most stuff by Drake after Take Care sucks. But I do like the song Nice for What

Post Malone does have a couple songs but Circles was overplayed like mad.

The best artist on this list, his songs are fire, but Circles and Goodbyes is way overplayed

Forget everyone else on this list! Post Malone is so overplayed. Not just that, but his songs sound worse every time I hear them. Ariana Grande is also a little overrated, but she isn't painful for me to listen to. PM on the other hand drives me nuts with his heavy autotune, you can't even understand a single word. Please get him to number 1. I swear if I hear better now one more time, I will rip my ears off.

Good singer, but he rarely sings about stuff other then guns n stuff. Definitely has some overplayed songs.

Her old songs are better than her new ones. Love Story and all of her other old songs have a nice, sweet and affectionate meaning and good lyrics about love. But what do her new songs have? The same line all the time, "I dumped my boyfriend" and "He dumped me vice versa to the point where it's just become boring, repetitive and annoying. Shake It Off, Bad Blood, and all those songs from her reputation concert album are SO overplayed. So she's not really overrated, since no one likes her music anymore. I really love her old music. It was nice and sweet plus she had a cute singing voice when she sand love story.

Shake It Off and Bad Blood aren't even from reputation, they're from 2014-2015. Her most played song on radio in 2018 was by far Delicate, which is a nice and sweet song like a lot of her old music.

I know Shake It Off and Bad Blood aren't from her reputation tour. I never say said that. I just said, Shake It Off, Bad Blood and songs from her reputation tour. But if you made a mistake, I understand Memph. Just make sure to read things twice to better understand.

It's the same "I dumped my boyfriend" songs with a victim complex. Maybe you're the problem in those toxic relationships.

Hits that sort of fit that description: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble, Bad Blood
Hits that don't fit that description: Our Song, Teardrops On My Guitar, Love Story, You Belong With Me, Fifteen, Mine, Back To December, 22, Everything Has Changed, Red, Shake It Off, Blank Space, Style, Wildest Dreams, I Don't Wanna Live Forever, Delicate

Taylor Swift I really don't mind because she has slightly good taste in music but I would like it way better if she still kept making country music. The only song by her that I like that's non country music are her old songs like I Knew You Were Trouble. Other than that, her new songs are just boring

If you like I Knew You Were Trouble you might like Don't Blame Me too, that's a newer song of hers (from 2017).

The songs just sound very normal and kinda bland, but the lyrics are just stupid

He only sits and play his guitar and he gets streams and radio plays

His music has nothing special. They're repetitive and don't have any special parts in them.

Oh good lord. Generic. Boring. Lame. Love songs with no substance that get WAAY too much radio play...

This band is amazing, but most people wont know because they are "hate" this band because THE RADIO plays maybe THREE of their songs too much. Well let me say this I NEVER get to hear these guys on the radio and they have Amazing songs(especially the older ones) such as: Bleeding out, its time, amsterdam, fallen, thief, dream, smoke and mirrors, 30 lives, round and round, my fault. Their music means something special unlike most music today. They give good messages (gold is about the dowside of being famous. 30 lives was written for one of their friends/fans that died of cancer. Bleeding out to me means doing anything for someone we love even if it means dying or bleeding out)

Their album Night Visions was good, and it all just went downhill... Demons is still a bop though.

Believer, Thunder, Natural, those are all overplayed songs BUT Imagine Dragons is INCREDIBLE. Their music is so creative and it hypes me up. Not gonna lie though, they have better songs that are older though. (It’s Time, Demons, Radioactive, I Bet My Life)

I do not agree with this (in my opinion) Imagine dragons are the best band in my book, I hardly heard them on the radio in 2018. I don't know why these guys get so much hate their lyrics are meaningful and not "my boyfriend broke up with me" unlike most artists on the radio these days their concerts are amazing and send positive messages, so leave these guys alone all you haters

Yeah! When I went to their Evolve concert in 2018, Dan ( the lead singer ) gave a speech on depression and to not give up on ourselves, even through the toughest of times.

Pink is queen bro if her music is overplayed its because its gpod unlike grande

What About Us, Beautiful Trauma, A Million Dreams were highly overplayed throughout the year, they were so annoying,

Only What About Us was highly overplayed. I only heard the 2nd of those songs a few times and never heard the last one.

Love her great performance at brits

What about us is like pop music in an airport and the airport is so bad that it can only afford one song that is how overplayed this is. Also a million dreams and beautiful trauma were played tooo much

Camila was one of the main reasons why I didn't enjoy music from 2017. Her song Havana played so much in 2017, till now. I'm writing this in 2020, just to let you know. But she's a good singer, I like her voice and although she isn't one of my favorite singers, I appreciate those who have their own opinions about liking her.
Also, this is what surprised me the most. Camila can play guitar! I was like, are you freaking kidding me right now?! That's amazing! Plus, she's really good too. I watched a couple of duos where she's singing and playing guitar with Ashlee Juno and they're really amazing, no joke.

Camila tries so hard to look hot and use all these latin beats in her songs, but has a terrible singing voice and such boring songs. I literally heard havana so many times and it just never seems to end. Seriously why did she have to leave Fifth Harmony? She was way better there

Most of her songs are just herself having a stroke every 2 seconds.

Camila was so overhyped and overplayed and for what? Havana oh na na?

Question, how do you go from the amazing "Songs About Jane" to the terrible "Red Pill Blues". Answer, you become Adam Levine and do anything for money.

The only reason Maroon 5 is overplayed because their only songs that are practically overplayed on the radio these days are Girls Like You and What Lovers Do. Except WLD doesn't play as much anymore as GLY plays

Moves like Jagger? You mean like the old creepy dude from Rolling Stones?

Girls Like You is practically their only song being played. Their other songs are never played at all compared to that generic cancer "song". That song makes Taki Taki look like Hotel California

Where to begin with Billie Eilish? She has a creepy singing voice, a creepy face, creepy music videos, even though I've never seen them they just pop up just like that, she also has this obsession with singing about depression, death and other creepy stuff. So I just really hate her.

I have to admit that while she isn't my favorite or something I would listen to everyday, but compared to a lot of the other artists on this list, hearing one of her songs on the radio is a real breath of fresh air. Her songs are way more interesting then your typical pop songs. Even if she's overplayed, it would be better Billie Eilish than Ariana Grande.

I'm probably gonna piss a lot of people off by saying this, but Billie Eilish is getting boring for me.

This is the face I make, when I hear overplayed music artists on the radio

Overrated trash

honestly, their music is just amazing and their lyrics are inspirational and carry beautiful messages and personally, it helped me during the tough times.
I see that a lot of you think that they're overrated and I totally respect your opinion, but if you could stop saying that they're gay as it is disrespectful and really offensive to all of their fans.
Also, I'm sorry if some fans may have sounded annoying, it's simply because some people really don't know when they trespassed their limits.
and please let's stay respectful towards BTS (or any artist for that matter) and their work.

No words to describe this. I know they are trying to make their fans feel like they are enough, but at least not do it with cheap trash on the mcdonald's radio. K-pop got really overrated in 2018 and it's still going on. Give me a break. Not to mention the fans are super non-respectful and obsess over them like crazy.

I don't care for this group one bit. Not only are they overplayed, but it's also annoying that most BTS fans keep shoving their opinions down your throat (just look at the comments posted on here). Please, just accept the fact that not everyone will like their music.

The only new song I know by Katy Perry was Chained To The Rhythm and that was 2017.

Lol why is Katy Perry at 12, did she even have any songs out this year?

I haven't even heard a single song of hers on the radio, except maybe Teenage Dream and California Girls like once.

Has she even made songs in 2018?

her music is annoying

High Hopes is a great song. But it's getting too overplayed.

Well, I mean, he likes Nickelback. Should we all take him seriously?

Panic!, now just The Brendon Urie Show used to have amazing Alternative/ Indie music and even though the new material is not as good, it is quality music that is overplayed. Basically, Panic!'s music is quality, but overplayed.

Awful band. They made a song, and they auto tuned the ever loving crap outta it.

High Hopes was a great song, but very overplayed. Panic! is great and they have really good older songs, like This Is Gospel, Emperor’s New Clothes, and I Write Sins Not Tragedies.

What has she even released recently? She just doesn't have the songs to live up to the hype.

I think Beyoncé is overrated, because her songs are just not special or something. She got praised once but I could ask 100 people what songs they know of Beyoncé and they would only name songs from the 2010's.

I don't remember hearing any songs by her

I personaly love beyonce

I loved Selena Gomez so much, notice I said LOVED. I mean, a lot of people would probably agree with me when I say that she was so great with The Scene. Now, her music is just trash, she can't sing anymore and I don't know what else to say, bye.

My apologies Selena. You're one of my favorite pop singers, but I have to admit you can't really sing. I'm just being honest

Selena's songs are amazing!
She also has a great personality!
Compared to other music stars, she is so underrated.

Just because she's not a good singer as people like Beyonce or Alicia Keys or Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera or even Tori Kelly, does NOT mean she's a terrible singer! THINK PEOPLE!

NF is clean and has a passion, he raps about things that we can relate to, If people wanna rap listen to him, If people hate than people hate, There is nothing you can do about it, but Me, he is my Idol.

He is the one artist that will really describe how he is feeling through raps and not hold back. The meaning behind his songs are so amazing and insperational

It is not overplayed I never here song anymore I'm sad because his music IS ACTUALLY GOOD

I WANT to STOP hearing Lie and Let You down already!

Halsey is cool in my opinion, though some of her songs are overplayed. Her voice is quite unique, and her older songs (Control, Castle, Colors, Sorry) are quite good.

Halsey is so annoying...her vocals are utter trash and she's very unlikable. Heck, I'd rather listen to Cardi B than her and I don't even like Bacardi that much now.

The whole hotel shampoo thing is why I despise people like Halsey, which is way too many. It is so ridiculous, I think I literally face palmed when I saw it. Halsey needs to grow up and find better, reasonable ways to get attention.

"Bad at love" "Him and i" and " Without me" are overplayed.

Ummm, I have never heard any Lil Pump song on the radio except for Gucci Gang and that song doesn't even pop up anymore.

Lil Pump is trash

He is a brilliant soul brought to this Earth to guide us through our darkness. The bringer of happiness, the sharer of spirit, through his divine music.

How is he not higher? Gucci Gang... repeat that in your head all day... then you'll get the song that will slowly but surely drives you mad.

Gucci Gang is probably one of his better songs, he's made way worse songs though haha.

I agree.

Ew just gross

Ew, God, she’s disgusting.

people listen to her music u guys could not see talent if it slapped u in the face

Her music sucks but she is really hot

She hasn’t released anything in a while but I love her music and dancing.

Shakira has very good songs! 👍

These guys are never played on the radio! If so, then they deserve to be played on the radio. Thunderstruck, Highway to Hell, Fly on the wall, all great songs made by a legendary band.

So overplayed in rock stations.

Would you even call this an artist?!

True. There could be some people in the world who love to wear bows and rainbow clothes. I mean, she may have been good on things like Dance Moms, but her music videos suck

JoJo is nothing less than awesome and I can't stop listening to "My Story"!

I am begging her to take out that ponytail. Even just for a week. I wonder how her hairdresser feels

He garbage. Him going to prison might be the first time he ever finished a sentence.

Hope he gets life imprisonment for everything he did, on and off stage

Walking skittle

So scary that he/she (I don't know the gender! ) gave me night mares- like momo did...
