Most Overplayed Songs of 2014

The Top Ten
1 Happy - Pharrell Williams

Reminds me of a hit from the past, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin, which was played over and over and over again, trying to make people Happy. You know, the song with the whistling, and repeating "Don't Worry, Be Happy". It eventually got very annoying to hear it, and even today many years later, nobody ever wants to hear it again.

By the time you are finished listening to the song you are sick of the ONE phrase that repeats on a four-minute loop. They don't have to play it on the radio so much. I have a twenty minute drive to school yet in this time I sometimes hear the song played on five different radio stations as I flip through.

I can't even go through a single day without hearing this far-too-common song. Just listen, LISTEN to how repetitive this is. I get it, you're happy! Now excuse me I have to go stick my head in front of a jet turbine to get this song out of my head.

I actually hate this song. It's probably my least favorite song of all time. During the time this song was released, I was experiencing a really dark time and hearing this song on the radio and all over blasting 24/7 made my life 50 times worse.

2 Counting Stars - OneRepublic

It's great song.. but played to much

Really overrated and overplayed. It's good, but Love Runs Out is way better.

I don't really get why people say this song is overplayed. I never really heard it that much. Also, it's a good song, I don't really see HOW it can be overplayed either.

This song is not that overplayed like happy or dark horse.

3 Timber - Pitbull

It hurts me that they call this a RAP song. It's just Kesha singing the same things for 4 minutes.

This song is terrible, and it doesn't help that it's played 10,000,000,000 times a day. Thanks radio.

This was my least favourite song back in 2014. Why? It was overplayed too much - astroshark

4 Let It Go - Idina Menzel

I don't understand how this is #2 and Happy is #1 because Happy doesn't even play as much as THIS does.
Ugh, I'm so sick of that damn chorus all the time! Seriously, I'm actually so sick of hearing all those kids in school singing it so much! Why the hell are so many girls into that song? It's literally just like every other movie playing songs, am I right? It's the same line, LET IT GO THIS, LET IT GO THAT! If I hear another person singing that abomination, I will actually scream!

This got overplayed at my primary school. I'd never seen a Frozen until 2016. I think the film is alright, but a lot of the reception kids sung it a lot!,

Horrible song just horrid also I heard Dark Horse on the radio maybe twice Roar was overplayed far more than that

This should be #1 because a bunch of little girls keep on singing it and my school sings it also so ANNOYING!

5 Dark Horse - Katy Perry

Even my school plays this every day in gym class. It was okay at first, and Katy is a decent artist with talent, but the song just edged into everyone's heads and never leaves. Pop music always gets overplayed.

Overplayed, but better than Anaconda.

I'm sorry America, but this song sucks.

6 Shake it Off - Taylor Swift

Most overplayed song. It's on every bloody advert. Couldn't they find another song? Shake it off is not even that good

32? This should be way higher! I'm just stick of Taylor Swift in general.

This song is an overplayed trouble!

Even today, its still over played.

7 Let Her Go - Passenger

Grating, forced "indie" vocals and a cliche theme. Definitely the most overplayed and overrated song of 2014

I HATE this song and it is played all the frigging time.

Play this too much. Too slow! So tired of it

Reminds me of a worse song...

8 Rude - Magic!

So far, I can't keep track of how many times I've heard this during COVID - 19 on 98.1 CHFI

I swear, this is all I hear. It also sucks.

I can't figure out how the girl's father is being "rude" in this song. Not only does it not make sense but it sounds terrible, and is grossly overplayed.

How is Counting Stars no. 2 on the list? This was once on like 4 radio stations at once last year.

9 Fancy - Iggy Azalea

Why did this piece of garbage and Black Widow get as much overplay as they did back that summer? Thank goodness all her other songs flopped.

The radio used to play this song like 23 time a day and I just don't like this song, it so annoying and it's a piece of crap.

I hear it every time I turned on the radio. Ugh, I'm sick of hearing it.

This has been number 1 on billboard for 18 weeks it's so annoying

10 Shut Up and Dance - Walk the Moon

Shut Up and Stop Playing This Freakin' Song! - Me

The Contenders
11 Talk Dirty - Jason Derulo

I've never liked this song

WAY OVERRATED,MY MOST HATED SONG EVER! it's SO REPETITIVE ON POP RADIO STATIONS AND T.V.'s! WHEN I'VE ASKED GOOGLE HOME TO PLAY SOME SELENA GOMEZ,JB,DEMI LOVATO,LADY GAGA,ARIANA GRANDE,WHITNEY HOUSTON,AND RIHANNA ON GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC,THEN...THEY OVERPLAYED JASON DERULO "TALK DIRTY" OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WHICH IS IRRITATING me BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT I REALLY,REALLY,REALLY HATE JASON DERULO AND ALL HIS TRASHY SONGS,HIS MUSIC IS SERIOUSLY LAME AND TIRESOME. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN BY TIRESOME,it MEANS THAT it's SO BORING. THIS SONG IS LITERALLY BEING PLAYED TOO MUCH ON RADIOS AND T.V.'s!

Talk dirty to me

I like this song

12 Anaconda - Nicki Minaj
13 All About That Bass - Meghan Trainor

Seriously? Counting Stars wasn't even on that much. This was what the radio stations FORCED down our throats during the last few months of 2014.

This song sucks...
The person who sings it sucks...
The music video sucks...
The fact that it's overplayed sucks...
Everything about it sucks...
#MeghanTrainorisAnnoying

It's so annoying. I liked it at first but the stations went crazy.

Best song in the world amazing

14 Pompeii - Bastille

At least Happy's overplaying is starting to die down. This song on the other hand...

I love this band and I love this song but it just got played way too much.

So catchy yet funny

15 Negarane Mani - Morteza Pashaei

His voice id incredible

This song is my favourite

This song is still a great one.

I love morteza pashaei

16 The Monster - Eminem

Liked this song about the first 0 times I heard it.

So annoying but cool got old after a week

What? I NEVER heard it on the radio

17 Am I Wrong - Nico and Vinz

This song should not have been made. Takes me about.3 seconds to change the station every time I hear it. So annoying.

This song literately wants to make me pull me hair out I've heard it so many times, am I wrong?

This is a terrible song. I want to shoot myself in the face to get this song out of my head.

This is played the most

18 Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

This was from 2013 and still overplayed in 2014. I'm glad I can enjoy it (not like Problem by Ariana Grande)

One of my friends can rap this whole song

I like it but, Its played to much.

Um... this song was a hit in 2013

19 Problem - Ariana Grande

This song is the most annoying, overrated, irritating, overplayed and the worst song of the year (not the worst song ever because I've listened worse than this. Just the worst song of 2014)

This song is not torture if you turn off the radio, turn the volume down or change to another station.

This song is just torture. The other day, this song was playing on 6 radio stations at the same time #KillMeNow

It's not that bad. I actually like this song, fight me.

20 All of Me - John Legend

This song is not even bad, but ever since this has been playing repeatedly, I've never actually heard any of John Legend's other songs.

Let's just say after hearing it for the 10,000th time, all of me got sick of hearing it.

This song is awesome I don't know how people disliked it...

Yes, too slow and too boring and he whines too much

21 Royals - Lorde

One hit wonder alert. Lorde, I love your music but if you want to be one of the greats, your songs can't be played more than a national anthem and you really need to work on that attitude.

Oh look, another over-processed Brit. I can't stand this teenybopper crap.

It's in every damn station, I'm sick of it.

22 Roar - Katy Perry

One of the worst and most annoying songs ever Just the pitch in how she sings "roar" alone is like drinking cheap ber that leaves an awful after taste!

23 Jealous - Nick Jonas

First off the Jonas brothers were awful. Second the song is terrible and he isn't that great either.

I thought the Jonas brother had vanished out of the music industry for good.

24 Summer - Calvin Harris

I think he's stealing from Asia... or Hall and Oates... Does anyone know exactly what song he's stealing from?!

25 Wake Me Up - Avicii

I only heard this once

I dislike this song

I like. This song
