Most Overplayed Songs of 2016

The Top Ten
1 7 Years - Lukas Graham

For overplayedness, tied with No, Don't let me Down, Closer, Can't stop the feeling, This is what you came for, treat you better, Just like fire, one dance, and a lot of songs overplayed in Summer 2016

I really hate this song. It's not even music. It's just some guy talking about some stupid thing, almost no music in the background, just sucks.

This Song is Horrible! That's just the Gist of it. He sucks a artist and making music that actually matters. This song is god Awful!

Why do people seem to hate this song so much? Just like what would happen with Closer, I just don't understand.

2 Love Yourself - Justin Bieber

Why is this song so overrated?
If purpose hadn't been a mediocre album, I guarantee that the only reason he's still relevant is because stupid horny girls keep buying his stuff, so that they can look at his FAKE abs. Despite purpose having a few good songs, the singles SUCK. And this is a prime example of that. Not as bad as WDYM or Sorry but still bad. Is there anyone out there who'll say "I don't care about his looks, his singles are still repetitive, and he still sucks as a singer? " Who doesn't care about his fake
abs? Bieber honestly cannot sing, but hey he has his good songs. This is not one of them

At first I didn't mind this song. I'm no Bieber fan by any stretch of the definition, but honestly, this song is EVERYWHERE and it's not even a good song. His songs get huge fame, not because they're good, but because they're by him. If it's by Bieber, Rihanna or Drake, it'll get massive popularity just because it's by them.

It was okay the first time. That's it, that's everything I can possibly say about this average at best song, I don't understand how or why it became so poular and/or overplayed. And it was SO overplayed.

For a JB song it's not half bad but yes it is overplayed. to be honest I think someone should make a list on what radio stations should stop doing and one of the items is "They should stop overplaying songs"

3 Closer - The Chainsmokers

This overplayed pile of trash stayed at number 1 for 12 weeks, keeping good songs like Starving, Scars to Your Beautiful, Treat You Better, etc away from that spot. Why are good songs like Work From Home and Treat You Better on this list?

As recently as April 2018, I still heard this song three times in one car ride. As for the song itself, though, the theme is generic, but what saved it for me was the instrumental in the chorus, and of course, Halsey making up for Drew's lackluster vocal performance.

A crappy song I never want to hear again. The lyrics are unnerving and make no sense and the drop is just 3 different notes in a repeating 4-note pattern. And Halsey sounds like she just woke up by getting punched in the genitals.

I hope this song die fast. -The singers aren't even good. And the song itself is so repetive. While how bad the song is, the song is getting overplayed on the radio which make the song worser.

4 Can't Stop the Feeling - Justin Timberlake

I didn't particularly like this song in the first place but after it was played one zillion times it got on my nerves, and now let's just say if you play this in front of me I will slap you.

Can't stop the feeling ima die when I hear this song. But someone should make a parody where someone takes crack and they can't stop the feeling

Back in the summer I used to hear this CONSTANTLY on the radio! Now I don't hear so much from it but it's strange beacause the hole thing was to promote the film "Trolls"

It's a good song. Just appears too much. Panda and Me Myself and I don't even appear on the radio and are excellent

5 One Dance - Drake

I swear if I hear this song one more time I'm going to jump off a bridge and cut my ear drums off in the process. Seriously Drake! Do better, come on man you can do better then this.

When I first heard this I was like finally something different, now I'm like not again, screw this lol

Good song that turned boring from overplay. Also, why has 'closer' hardly been played

I hate this song, yeah every time, we pick a different song

6 Work from Home - Fifth Harmony

Fifth Harmony is a super annoying girl group and their music is really annoying.

Trash that's what it is! What has the world become oya TRASH just like this song!

Radio trash with the cliche bad rap third verse at the end. Like really, ty dolls sign? u couldn't have found anyone better

Am I the only one who likes this song?

7 My House - Flo Rida

My House by Flo Rida? More like No House by Al Abama! ! This song is as overrated as HECK! It has been used in 20,000 ads, most of the world loves this song, the lyrics are meaningless, and became the Wrestlemania 32 theme for no reason! ( NOTE: WRESTLEMANIA 32 THEME WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL BY MOTORHEAD! ) Do you know who likes this song? Everyone I know! Do you know who hates this dumb song? Me! So screw this overrated song!

Feel like leaving my car when the radio plays this

Remember that one period in time where you could hear this everywhere no matter what circumstances
yeah I sadly do.
even if this wasn't a big hit in the UK,it was annoyingly overplayed practically everywhere on the good old Roblox server territories.
purely overrated.

I like this song...

8 Work - Rihanna

If I had to choose any song to be removed from the radio, it would be this one. For MONTHS, my friends kept playing this song, and singing it, and it kept playing EVERYWHERE. The lyrics, while endearing, were honestly lazy and repetitive. It's just her repeating work infinity times. Drake's verse wasn't as bad but still atrocious. And worst of all, the beat is extremely unfinished and lazy, it sounds like someone barfed a kazoo. Overall 1/5. This song should be left untouched in the dust. Just make sure it never comes on the radio, AGAIN.

In 2016 I went to this Boys and Girls club and in the art room all they played was What Makes You Beautiful, sometimes Lost Boy and this crap.

I wasn't really a fan of this song, but it got worse every time I heard it. Now, I hate hearing it after it was overplayed so much.

I like Rihanna but this song is just straight up bull crap she must’ve been on something writing this song (no offense) The only people who like this song are 12 year olds with a crap taste in music

9 Heathens - Twenty One Pilots

I literally cannot go a single car ride without hearing this song..or part of it as I switch to another station immediately. I am being literal. Even if I am in the car 10 minutes, go into the store and come back out 10 minutes later I would have heard the song twice.

I liked it for a certain amount of time, now it's just annoying. The lyrics make no sense, it has nothing to do with the movie, I don't get why this isn't higher

I do like tøp, but this song is way overplayed. I do enjoy it, but it's just not one of their best songs. Like Oh Mrs. Believer, The Pantaloon, Ruby, Forest, and songs like those are great.

Don't know why this is on the list.

10 Sorry - Justin Bieber

The radio loves Justin Bieber more than America.

Annoying. Justin Bieber is so overrated now.

Oh my god! This should be 1! IT NEVER STOPS!

I only heard this once

The Contenders
11 Ride - Twenty One Pilots

I love it! That's a good thing! They're playing TWENTY ONE PILOTS for you instead of Justin Bieber. You should be grateful.

I love this song and this duo, but their popular songs get so overplayed at this point, Ride and Stressed Out start getting annoying

I swear to Christ I heard this song TWICE on the same station with a mere HALF-HOUR distance

Why, radio stations! Why do you overplay good songs!

12 Dollar Days - David Bowie

Why does someone keep adding David Bowie songs?

13 Cheap Thrills - Sia

I don't know why it is not even in top ten! Sia's voice and the beats of the song were at least better than jb's sorry

I've only heard it once or twice on the radio to be honest.

This needs to be #1. Only song I EVER hear.

This song is annoying

14 Dangerous Woman - Ariana Grande

If I never hear this song again, it will still be too often. Yuck.

Very dangerous, by these lyrics

15 Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilots

It did get overplayed millions of millions of times

Overplayed, heard this twice within 1 hour.

How is this not top 5?

Not overplayed for me but I hear sometimes. But I love this song 8D

16 Cake by the Ocean - DNCE

Yes! Very overplayed! I did like it at first though.

EDIT: Listening to it 5 years later, I actually don't mind it

Most annoying doing since Uptown Funk. That's how bad it is

It was ok at first until the guy's high pitched voice got to my nerves

Complete garbage anyways

17 This is What You Came For - Calvin Harris

This is easily the most overplayed song of the year yet I had to add it to this list? What's wrong with you people?! I have to hear this literally everyday!

18 Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes

Ugh, Shawn Mendes is so annoying and BORING! I literally hear him one BILLION times on the radio! Like, why do people love him so much? He's not even that great like other male artists

It was also overplayed in 2018 but I haven't heard it in a while. I don't recall hearing it in 2016/2017

Get this up the list please!

I liked it at first, but then it went to crap.

19 Hello - Adele

Release date: 23 October 2015 - NOT 2016

So over played

20 What Do You Mean - Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber makes such crap music now

21 Don't Let Me Down - The Chainsmokers

This song was ok to when it came out but with the overplay, I don't want to hear this song again. Every time this song comes on the radio and I hear Daya's singing, I turn the station. Who let Daya have a career anyway? I have already heard three songs from her ( Hide Away and SSLP), and she has been making nothing but garbage this entire year.

In this situation, overplay was a blessing

"Don't let me, Don't let me, Don't let me down! I think I'm losing my mind now…"

I'm think I'm losing my mind, listening to this song!

22 Lazarus - David Bowie
23 Black Star - David Bowie

I never hear this in radios. I heard this song once it's alright. But I disagree since no one heard of this song in my grade

I am sick of hearing it on the radio

The troll found my list

24 Sweatshirt - Jacob Sartorius

I have only heard this song once from my annoying fangirl sister who loves this song ( I might need to get a brain scan done on her. And a DNA test.) Thank lord and god almighty that I haven't heard it anywhere else.

I'm a girl and I actually hate 1D, JB and This piece of trash. Satorius used autotune as a crutch. Without auto tune he can't SING AT ALL. He only lives off autotune. With auto tune on, he still sounds terrible.
Thank you God, that I've never heard this on the radio.

This song is disastrous. But it's not overplayed. In fact it nevertheless comes on the radio I'm so happy

WHY AREN'T PEOPLE VOTING FOR THIS?
HOW IS THIS BELOW WORK FROM HOME?
I mean there are somega pretty awful songs like closer, sorry (by Justin bieber), and heathens (OVER. PLAYED.). But they are nothing compared to this...THING. It's a disgrace and it shouldn't exist.

25 Panda - Desiigner

Hate this song... I love all the 80's Rock and Michael Jackson. All the new pop songs are burning my ears. Say what you want sour me but the crappy song these says are givin' me nightmares... Why can't we all just bring back the 80's? Please! When I'm in the dressing room at hockey... Auistin always brings his tablet and plays this horrible song. Think about it... Barley any hard work put into this crap. Real good songs have good beats, good singing voices, and well... Have good names.

I like this song and haven't heard it on any radio ONCE. Also what? There is no actual clean version of the song. Even the one on now 94 you can clearly hear him say multiple words which have not been edited out

I got crocs in Atlanta. Nah I meant I got rocks in Australia

Almost every dab (and there were TONS in 2016) was accompanied by this song
