The musical artists that have made some of the worst songs of 2017.
The Top Ten
1 Jake Paul Jake Joseph Paul (born January 17, 1997) is an American social media personality and professional boxer. He initially rose to fame on Vine, before playing the role of Dirk Mann on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark for two seasons. Throughout his career, Paul has become the subject of many controversies ...read more.

He released the absolute worst Ep of 2017 in the form of Litmas. Not only that, but he's proved everyone that he and his brother are complete scumbags. They really don't need anymore attention.

He made the absolute worst Ep of 2017 in the form of Litmas. Not only that, but he's proved everyone that he and his brother are complete scumbags. They really do not need anymore attention.

This song explains why humans these days have become more retarded than ever. Our forefathers are ashamed.

Sorry for the immature idiotic things I said on this list, I was a cringelord in my first month here.

2 Sam Hunt Sam Lowry Hunt is an American singer and songwriter. Born in Cedartown, Georgia, Hunt played football in his high school and college years and once attempted to pursue a professional sports career before signing with MCA Nashville in 2014.

He makes country rap music, which is terrible by the way. He made one of my worst nightmares come true. I don't hate country as much anymore, I just hate country rap and a few mainstream country artists like Florida Georgia Line.

This guy is the artist that a bunch of douchy frat guys and country white girls listen to when they get drunk. He's an absolute retard, and probably one of the worst artists this year.

Made two of the worst songs of the year, he made "Drinkin' Too Much" and "Body Like a Backroad".

Someone Get Rid Of This Retard.

3 Kodak Black Bill K. Kapri is an American rapper better known by his stage name Kodak Black. He is noted for his singles "Roll in Peace", "Tunnel Vision", and "No Flockin", as well as his numerous legal issues.

Sucks, worst rapper ever. Tunnel Vision is garbage, the beat sounds all out of tune, and he talks with autotune rather than rap, and the lyrics are awful and are basically saying that he is a criminal. Even MattyBraps is better than him, at least MattyBRaps does not sound as dreadful.

Kodak Black needs to go back to Jail along with Rick Ross

He made "Tunnel Vision" this year and I don't think any song to come out this year will top it in sheer awfulness.

EDIT: "First Day Out" managed to be worse than this. However...it's still from Kodak Black.

Ugh..probably the worst rapper of 2017 next to Lil Yachty, Machine Gun Kelly, and Post Malone.

4 Katy Perry Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known by her stage name Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress and an ambassador on one of the most popular companies of now, UNICEF.

She is also is one of the best-selling artists of all time. She won 4 Guinness World Records, 5 MTV Awards, 5 American Music Awards, 16'ASCAP Pop Music Awards, 5 Billboard Music Awards, 14 People's Choice, 1 Juno Award, 2 Myx Music Awards, 3 NRJ Awards, 6 Teen Choice and a Brit Award. ...read more.

I've never really been a fan of this one, but I'll admit that Teenage Dream was a bop! But now I hate her! Why is that you ask? She's been making nothing but garbage this year! CTTR is hypocritical (bashing pop music yet still making it danceable and generic). Bon Appetìt was her attempt at being sexy but was just disgusting and uncomfortable (if you watch the video, Katy Perry has officially confirmed that she's a cannibal). Swish Swish was a failed diss track at mah dear Taylor Swift. Katy you might as well retire, because your career is over! All of your songs have flopped!

@DaisyandRosalina
I understand now. It's just Wonkey said that CTTR was hypocritical because of pop music (and he's kinda renowned here even if I disagree with him on certain artists like Shawn Mendes). But I looked it up and I realized that it's hypocritical because she says that music hypnotizes us yet she's trying to get us to vote 4 Hillary (even though I support Hillary).
But anyways Bon Appetit and Flop Flop (I mean Swish Swish) were FAR worse! Bad Blood by Taylor Swift won the diss war because it was a hit, whereas Swish Swish flopped!

I've seen plenty of other female celebrities who have done the short hairstyle way better! When Katy did it, she ended up looking like a Lesbian and You're so Gay looks like The Godfather in comparison to Bon Appetit.

I think we all agree she sounded like she was high on something when she said "No barriers, no borders" as a response the Manchester bombing.

5 XXXTentacion Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy (January 23, 1998 - June 18, 2018), known professionally as XXXTentacion, and often referred to as X, was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and criminal.

This guy is just a walking meme at this point. His music contains a bunch of screeching, like that's the new artistic thing to do right now. He's a had a rough life though, I'll give him that much.

Wait...since when is Halsey bad and worse than the worst artist? Please get this person who creates artless noise higher.

6 Missio

Listen to their album and tell me they're good. It's impossible.

7 Jacob Sartorius Rolf Jacob Sartorius (known by his middle name), born October 2, 2002, is an American singer and internet personality, who rose to fame via social media from posting lip-syncing videos on musical.ly and his Vines (on Vine). In 2016, he released his debut single "Sweatshirt", which reached the Hot 100 charts in the United States and Canada. He also has released songs like "Hit or Miss", "Bingo" and "No Music".

I don't like you at all you are rude and borderline psychotic picking on a teen. I bet you pretend you're 15. Get a life Cupcake!

He's still a thing? I guess the internet is obsessed with this pre-pubescent loser that I love to ridicule.

Let me guess your probably some overweight rude pampered single child. Keeps hating honey bun.

Agreed. Even Justin Bieber would be laughing at how pathetic and generic his The Last Text Ep was.

8 Taylor Swift Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

She's a mediocre singer for me
I liked look what you made me do but the lyrics are so whiny in my opinion, that song is starting to get boring, and all of the songs that she released this year are boring and not memorable for me in my opinion

Honestly the hate on her is getting annoying. She only collabed in one song this year. She's not even as bad as people say she is. She is overrated but she is also overhated.

Okay, now that she has released "Look What You Made Me Do"...higher. Higher now please.

9 Chris Brown Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he was involved in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He is most well known for his physical assault towards the singer Rihanna in 2009. He is also known for many hit singles, such as "Kiss Kiss", "Run It!", "Forever", "Deuces", "Look At Me Now", "Loyal", "Ayo", and "Back to Sleep".

This piece of crap should be in jail but ainstead, he's still making stupid music about how he wants a girl to have sex with him. He should be lucky that a girl is doing anything for him.

10 Carrie Underwood Carrie Marie Underwood is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, in 2005. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005.

Her music promotes murder. No wonder Americans are so uncivilised. Have you heard many pop, rock (even punk and heavy metal), R&B, soul, or jazz songs advocating for murdering an unfaithful significant other? Enough said.

Why are Americans tolerant of racist singers? It disturbs me.
They seem to vent about how immigrants are a cancer, yet get angry when someone criticizes someone with that view.

@DCfnaf I'm sorry I must have misread your comments. I'm actually a fan of your lists and I think your a great user. Please forgive me

What do you expect from a Trump-supporting piece of crap? Mediocrity.

The Contenders
11 AJR AJR is an American indie pop trio composed of multi-instrumentalist brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Metzger. The trio is a DIY alternative-pop group who write, produce and mix their own material in the living room of their Chelsea apartment. They are most well known for their songs such as "BANG!", "Weak", "Burn The House Down", "100 Bad Days", "I'm Ready", "Let The Games Begin" and "Sober Up" featuring Rivers Cuomo, lead singer of the alternative rock band Weezer.

The group has been making music together since 2005, and started off making covers of songs. Some of these include: "Wake ...read more.

Please explain why these guys are not on the first page. Their album was atrocious.

Um...I don't listen to them and frankly, I don't want to.

They sucked hot crap in 2017

12 Cardi B Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar (born October 11, 1992), known professionally as Cardi B, is an American rapper. Born and raised in New York City, she became an Internet celebrity by achieving popularity on Vine and Instagram.

13 Future

After I finished Honest, I hate him more than ever. What's worse is that he ruins potentially good songs. First Maroon 5's Cold, now Ariana Grande's Everyday. What's wrong with this noncey oaf?

I can't believe he's still feautured on songs. His voice sounds like it has been messed up WITH autotune, and his beats are processed to oblivion.

He continues to ruin literally every song he is featured in.

This guy should retire seriously he ruins every song he is in.

14 Lil Yachty Miles Parks McCollum, known professionally as Lil Yachty, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter. Yachty first gained recognition in August 2015 for his singles "One Night" and "Minnesota" from his debut EP Summer Songs. He released his debut mixtape Lil Boat in March 2016.
15 NateWantsToBattle

This guy is what every 12-13 year old anime and pokemon fan wants to listen to on Youtube.

Meh, he was decent. Delete Me was a good song though. AND IT's NOT POKEMON!

His music is for babies

16 The Chainsmokers The Chainsmokers are an American DJ and production duo consisting of Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart. The EDM-pop duo achieved a breakthrough with their 2014 song "#Selfie", which was a top twenty single in several countries.

Ugh! I hate them! They are so rude, disturbing and ANNOYING! My mom hates them too and I can see why. They never stop swearing in some songs (i.e. Bloodstream and Break Up Every Night), or in interviews, their music is a disgrace to EDM (listen to ZEDD, he's better than these skanks), and they never stop being inappropriate druggies. People like Camila Cabello (she was originally going to collab with them for Closer) and Coldplay shouldn't bother with these HORRIBLE men!

Their only good song of the year was "Something Just Like This." "Closer" had potential for me but I didn't like the part where Halsey basically just re-said the entire first verse just with some words changed.

No! The Chainsmokers are an amazing band! Closer, Something Just Like This, Paris, Young, Honest, The One, Until You Were Gone...Those are amazing songs!

Their debut album from 2017 was one of the worst Edm albums of the 2010's decade I've ever heard.

17 Machine Gun Kelly Colson Baker, better known by his stage names MGK and Machine Gun Kelly, is an American rapper and actor, from Cleveland, Ohio.

Hell no he's one of the few good rappers in the mainstream

He's the only rapper I like and he still kinda sucks!

18 Migos Migos is an American hip hop trio from Lawrenceville, Georgia, founded in 2008. They are composed of three rappers known by their stage names Takeoff, Quavo and Offset.

Culture was so trash.

I don't like Migos, but I do like Quavo. Quavo should quit the band

19 Rae Sremmurd Rae Sremmurd is an American hip hop duo, composed of two brothers, Khalif "Swae Lee" Brown (born June 7, 1995) and Aaquil "Slim Jxmmi" Brown (born December 29, 1993). They are best known for their platinum singles "No Flex Zone" and "No Type". They are signed to Mike WiLL Made-It's label, "EarDrummer Records", which is where their band name is derived from.

Oh come on. Nickelback above Rae Sremmurd? There goes whatever faith I still had in humanity.

They Basically Swang Their Golf Clubs At Yung Negus. -1/10

"Swang" happened this year. I don't get how these two and BOTDF are famous.

20 Fame on Fire
21 Silento Richard Lamar Hawk, better known by his stage name Silentó, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor. He is best known for his debut single "Watch Me", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. Recently, he is also known for murdering his cousin and is currently in prison.

This guy is still relevant?

He is still a thing? Oh boy...

22 Tyga Micheal Ray Stevenson, known by his stage name Tyga, is an American hip hop recording artist. In 2011, Tyga signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records.

Funny how everyone let him slide as he bragged on his albums about having back-door sex with an underage girl.

23 Lil Pump Gazzy Garcia (known professionally as Lil Pump, born August 17th, 2000) is an American rapper, producer and songwriter. Gazzy began his career in 2016 with a collaboration freestyle with Smokepurpp, which was eventually posted in Soundcloud to popular success. He broke out to mainstream the following ...read more.
24 Kendrick Lamar Kendrick Lamar Duckworth (born June 17, 1987) is an American rapper and songwriter. Raised in Compton, California, Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the stage name K-Dot, releasing a mixtape that garnered local attention and led to his signing with indie record label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE).

Kendrick was the most overrated rapper of 2017.

25 Cupcakke Elizabeth Eden Harris, better known by her stage name, cupcakKe, is a rapper, singer, and songwriter. She was born on May 31, 1997 in Chicago, United States. Although she is best known for her sexually explicit lyrics, cupcakKe was raised in a church and is still a devout Christian.

I have nothing against sexual lyrics in any way, as long as they are acted out well. That can be creating an erotic atmosphere, giving you a wink at it being for shock value or being funny.
Cupcakke is none of all that. She sounds too aggressive to be erotic, she does not really try to sound shocking either, and the outcome may be unintentionally funny, but not in the way she may wanted it to be. The songs I heard by her so far sounded like she wants to punish the listener by having sex with them. Really: replace the sex references in "Deepthroat" with threats of violence and tell me it's not ten times more fitting for the tone of the song.

I don't care about lyrics being vulgar, but I feel like her whole image is being vulgur for the sake of being vulgar, trying to be edgy for the sake of being edgy, but actually turning out to be complete garbage.

She is just annoying and horrible. Her lyrics make Justin Bieber sound like Halsey. Last time I checked, Justin is not the best singer ever.

And what I mean by no is that Cupcakke is terrible. She deserves to be on this list No was my reaction to her.
