Most Overplayed Songs in 2018

The most overplayed songs of 2018. The order of the songs at the start is based on overall airplay of 2018. It doesn't matter when each song here was released, they just have to receive enormous airplay in 2018.
The Top Ten
1 Girls Like You - Maroon 5

I agree; this song deserves a top 10 spot on this list. Every time I hear it at school, I get extremely annoyed and decide to listen to something else like the Beatles or Antonio Vivaldi.

Me: *flicking stations* Ooh I hope it’s benny blanco, Clean Bandit, Ava Max, Loud Luxury...

Radio: because girls like you run round with guys like me sundown when I come through I need a girl like you yeyyeyeyeah yeyeyeyah yeyeyah I need a girl like you

Me: UGH JUST STOP PLAYING THIS!

People nowadays. They picked In My Feelings over Mad Love.
- TheDuttyGyal

This song is even more overplayed than The Middle. I heard this song 6 times in a few hours a couple weeks ago, and it still plays constantly. Get this to #1 please.

This song is so annoying, especially Cardi B's guest appearance (I don't like Cardi B). I hear this in the car nearly every time I put on the pop station while taking a ride.

2 The Middle - Zedd, Maren Morris & Grey

I really hate this song in my opinion and your right it is played on the radio like a lot and sometimes I can't get it out of my head so sorry if some of you guys like this song but I don't like and to be honest I like stay the night and clarity better

Yesterday I think I heard this 4 times. This is like the Closer of 2018, a song with a generic theme that got played constantly on the radio, which was only redeemed by a cool instrumental in my opinion.

I don't support Billboard's upcoming streaming rules in July, but I will support them just to kick this out

For god's sake, 13 weeks in the Top Ten? Can't it just die yet?

Why do cheesy songs like this get played all the time whereas good songs like lighting strike by Judas Priest don't.

3 Perfect - Ed Sheeran

Here's a fact. First off, I hate this song with a passion. Then I got so happy in 2019 because I didn't hear that stupid song all year long.
And then what happens?
BOOM! BIG disappointment!
It ended up playing so much in 2020 along with Shape Of You. Screw the radio

I hate this overplayed song too much I wish that there could be different songs on my radio at my car when I go to places like Jason Derulo music and old rihanna music as well. screw the song Perfect by Ed Sheeran.

Sure it's catchy and all but when people constantly play it over and over again I felt it was just too much honestly
lyrics aren't even that appropriate and younger kids have to listen to this all the time

HONEST TRUTH: I LOVED THIS SONG BEFORE IT WAS ON THE RADIO. Ed Sheeran is jams. I love his soft, melodic songs, but when they overplayed this song they ruined it for me. I HATE YOU, RADIO STATIONS THAT EVER PLAYED THIS SONG! >:,(

4 I Like It - Cardi B

Why overplay a song that will never be good regardless of how many times you play it on the radio, no matter how many time they play this song it will always sound like Trash. Waste of time, play good music for once

Never liked her to be honest I don't know why she is well known now is it because she took nicki's place meh no thanks hate this song and anything she sings TRASH

This song is filled to the brim with swear words, and definitely not radio friendly, how can it be overplayed?

I hate this song and I hate Cardi B. I don't why Cardi B is liked she writes the worst songs ever to come out of music.

5 Havana - Camila Cabello

Finally, I am so glad I can talk about this horrible song. I don't like Perfect and I will say it is very overplayed, but I've heard this crap way more on the radio than Perfect. It is just as overplayed as Slowly (Despacito). This girl's voice is the worst thing ever. Worse than Chad Kroeger. She tries to imitate Rihanna and she is miserable at it and the lyrics make no sense at all. So glad it is off the Billboard charts. I never want to hear this song again for the rest of my life.

This and Never be the Same are easily the worst songs of 2018 both overplayed and everywhere no matter how sick you are of hearing it. The girl's auto tune is so obvious it's embarrassing and her voice is either in low moan mode or screechy mode but this? This is just the worst.

I love this song and think it was one of 2017's best pop songs but I have to admit the radio stations went a little overboard with the overplay on this one.

She pretends to be one of the latin american greats by using latin beats. She effectively brings an end to Cuban music in general. Beny More would be ashamed! (Look him up...)

6 In My Feelings - Drake

I heard this twice in a total of less than 20 minutes in the car today. And I thought a song as overplayed as What About Us only came once every 5 years.

Good news! I actually went in the car for about an hour in total today and didn't hear this song at all. (plays We Are The Champions)

I heard this noise 3 times on the radio today, plus this is #1 on the Hot 100. I hear I Like It more than this though.

I heard this song 4 times today, and it came on 2 stations at once at one point. This should be #1.

7 New Rules - Dua Lipa

I would have probably enjoyed this song if it wasn't played as much as it was on the radio. One time, I heard this song playing on 3 stations at once.

Hey! I have a rule for you Dua Lipa! STOP PLAYING THIS SONG! It's annoying!

My classmates still play this from time to time...

This song is getting old.

8 God's Plan - Drake

Drake's robotic vocals combined with the song being boring overall are why I don't like this song. I also hear this a lot on the radio, and it was even on 2 stations at once one time.

Gods plan is to destroy drake because he made this overrated song

They played it EVERY SINGLE time I came into Subway.

This guy can't sing for the life of him.

9 Psycho - Post Malone

Yesterday when we were listening to the radio, this song was on 2 stations at once.

I liked this song before it got overplayed but now I hate it

Jeezus, this happened to me too. Psycho one time played 5 times each day in one week!

I hate Post Malone but this is one of his worst songs EVER!

10 Meant to Be - Bebe Rexha

Worst country song -if you could even call it that- ever. Between this, the middle and girls like you this song was over played. Every radio station had this song all the time and still has it on.

I barely hear this song on the radio anymore. Thank God! Oh wait, other garbage songs took its place.

Absolutely awful, just like every other thing Florida Georgia Line has done.

I hear this song every time I turn on my radio station.

The Contenders
11 What About Us - P!NK

I heard this song twice in one car ride when we went out to dinner tonight (I wrote this on June 30, 2018). It's been more than 10 months since this song came out. Top 10 material

I heard this on the radio today going to the mall, and then not too long later it came on again in one of the stores. Has to be on here.

I love this song but its played literally everywhere haha

This Song is SOOO Overrated I cannot even go to SCHOOL without hearing this junk

12 Thunder - Imagine Dragons

My opinion is a bit biased because I am a diehard fan of Imagine Dragons, but I actually like the meaning of this song. I think the chorus could've been a bit more creative than just, Thunder, feel the thunder, lightning then the thunder over and over. But in my opinion, this song is pretty inspirational

What is with the stupid digital high pitched “singing” in the chorus, and now everyone is using it, what happened to when people actually wrote good music and were talented musicians and songwriters, not people who know how to use a computer. And I have heard this absolutely GARBAGE song more than I think any human being should.

Jesus Christ I hear this song at least twice a day. And the worst part is, it always gets stuck in your head!

Something about this song just sets me off, some combination of sounds in the chorus

13 Let You Down - NF

Ok, so I might be a bit harsh on this song because of a friend. So, I have a friend who’s obsessed with NF, depressing quotes, and trying to be edgy even though she already has the world at her feet. Girl, ilysm but seriously? She keeps saying things like “NF is so sad! He actually cried in one of his songs” and “This is the saddest song ever! ” And I understand that the poor guy has been through so much, but her trying so hard to relate to the song but failing because everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, loves her so much just ticks me off. Her edgy phase was supposed to have been in seventh grade. Sorry for the little vent lol

This song was overplay and it was the worst song that play on the radio lately.

This and Lie are so overplayed that I hear this and Lie in my head.

Great song though

14 Lights Down Low - Max

Lights Down Low is pretty decent. But the radio plays it OVER and OVER and OVER, but the rate is becoming slower to where I live.

This is a worse version of something Shawn Mendes would do. Hate it.

Damn I hate this song so much!

All I hear is the chorus

15 No Tears Left to Cry - Ariana Grande

I just love this song, it's my favorite song ever, and I love Ariana Grande so much the song show be number one cos it's the best.

I really dislike this song because this song on my radio plays 24 times or something.

I barely hear this, honestly... I hear more Delicate than this.

This is played way too much :/ it comes after every other song!

16 Never Be the Same - Camila Cabello

Camila Cabello is one of those artists that tries to look hot so that boys will like her, but is a bad singer. This is definitely one of her worst songs, and I hope that people will realize that she is not a great singer. I loved Fifth Harmony, but I don't like her voice. That's why I was more than happy when she left.

This, along with Psycho and I Like It, are the 3 most overplayed songs on the radio right now. I hear this song on 2 stations at once a lot (that happened just today) and one day in April it was even on 3 stations at once.

This song is one of my least favorite of 2018, but we're ranking overplay here; in a week where I listened to only the radio this is how many times I heard
Never Be the Same (Camila Cabello)- 34
Turn the Lights Down Low (MAX) -30
meant to Be (Bebe Rexha) -27
Wait (Maroon 5) -23
I like me Better (Lauv) -21
Now you see why.

The invasion was actually unbearable when it was big. It's now faded, and it sounds like a seal trying to mate.

17 Shape of You - Ed Sheeran

This song always plays SO MUCH and it annoys me to no end. I will turn off the radio if I hear this song start playing! Although I think Good Old Days by Macklemore is WAY MORE overplayed... That should SO be on this list. I used to sort of like it, but now it drives me insane

Seriously, hear it for so long, drives me nuts

Oh my god overdone to the moon

I haven't heard it in a bit.

18 Delicate - Taylor Swift

I actually like Taylor Swift. However, I like her country music better. The only song by her I actually like that isn't country music is I Knew You Were Trouble. It brings back old times

Hey at least it was better than look what you made me do

Taylor Swift is just ANNOYING!

I find her whole album trash

19 No Brainer - DJ Khaled

What a talentless man who happens to be lucky because anybody could do what he does

This song is stupid and annoying just another dull pop/rap song no thank you

20 Sorry Not Sorry - Demi Lovato

By now all 2017 fall hits have all but died out, except this one (and What About Us, but that's a different story). I still hear this twice in a car ride often.

I'm not sorry because this song was created

New music is worse...

21 Pray For Me - The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar

Only popular because of 2 overrated rappers/artists and it's from an overrated movie

My gosh I heard this so much back in February

Good song though

22 Finesse - Bruno Mars

Seriously?! I hardly hear this song on the radio ever! The Middle came out not too long ago, and that song is already way more overplayed than this.

Why do all the good artists have to quit making songs-GOOD songs and leave room for all these crappy ones?

I love it but it is kinda overplayed

No I only heard it once on the radio

23 Friends - Marshmello & Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie sounds really immature here, why is this getting more and more overplay?

This song is the reason my sisters are obsessed with Gacha Studio, which is ANNOYING AS HELL! Thanks a lot, Anne-Marie!

See Delicate but replace it with FRIENDS cause this is overplayed as well.

My friends are addicted to this waste of a song! God, the moment I hear those awful OooOO OoOOooos, I just turn it off. It hurts!

24 Attention - Charlie Puth

Yesterday, at one point, when we were going to the beach, this was on 2 stations at once. - 6/17/2018

Starting to hear this more than Shape Of You at this point now lol

This was made in 2018?

25 Lucid Dreams - Juice WRLD

I also like this song.One of my friends is a huge fan of Juice WRLD by the way(But I don't think you cared about the last part)
