Worst Songs of 2013

This song is tasteless and Miley has no talent. She is only famous because of all of the crazy controversial stuff she does for attention. I guess she is so desperate to be famous that she prefers negative attention to no attention at all. Sad, really.

I also hate the line, "Only God can judge us." I mean, that is true, but she's using it as an excuse to do all the bad stuff she wants.

And stop twerking. Please. Just stop. - TheKatieLady

The Bible tells us to judge with righteous measure, so we cannot judge unfairly or unrighteously. God is our ultimate judge though.

This song makes my ears bleed. Her voice is so nasally and auto-tuned!

I just accidentally voted for this, hm. It's certainly not the greatest by any means, but I also wouldn't call it the worst. I've heard far worse and to be honest, it's catchy.

Everyone seems to take guilty pleasures too seriously and denounce them for being either popular or, well, popular. It's currently popular to hate Miley Cyrus for being "provocative" and what not, but I've heard far worse. Miley's talented and I think "We Can't Stop" is an admirable top 40 hit. - kendyl

I’m kinda tired of seeing this on every Worst Songs of 2013 list I come across. - I80

This song annoys me! What a joke! An insult to music! Disgusting. I used to like Pharrel but now? And this song makes me hate Robin Thicke. Worst lyrics in history, honestly, who the hello wrote this? Probably the same person who wrote Friday for Rebecca Black. This song is so disrespectful to women. Ugh, the lyrics are so gross! Whats worse is that stupid tune gets stuck in your head, ugh. - dragonfly99

Every time I hear it I feel physically enraged, I just want to break something, the lyrics make no sense and Robin Thicke can't sing at all

This song makes me wanna kill myself no matter what the time day or situation setting is

Ok this sucks and what's up with all the hashtags? Overplayed, weird,wrong and what is pharrell even wearing?!

They stole the melody from Baba O'Riley by The Who. And not only that, they also ripped off songs such as from The Clash, Grease etc. And who are they going to rip off next? Westlife? The Wanted? They need to try to stop ripping off other songs and come up with their own melodies. Utter plagiarists. :(

One Direction didn't steal anything. I'm not huge fans of them but I'm just saying. The producers are Julian Bunetta, Matt Rad and John Ryan whom are the so-called "stealers" - sryanbruen

More like the crappiest song ever

The most narcissistic song ever. - I80

This crap should be number one. We can't stop and blurred lines are really good to be honest. - BananaBrain

Horrible song and stupid lyrics... - sam117

The song is terrible, her voice is annoying and the music video is disturbing and shouldn't have even been allowed on YouTube. This should be at number 1.

Bad lyrics and bad video. Though I admit the tune is good. - DemonSpiritGhostKitten

This is just so horrible! I don't want to listen to this song or watch the music video.

Miley Cyrus is in this song, and has a rap verse. Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J, (real) rappers that I detest just as much, also feature in this atrocity. AUTOMATIC FAILURE! This is, without question, an obscenely terrible piece of music (in reality, a bag of rotting garbage). THIS (SONG) SHOULD NOT EXIST!

This is a song? I thought it was a Air Jordan commercial gone terribly wrong, EPIC FAIL!

Miley Cyrus rapping. Shoot, me, now!

I did a dubsmash to this hehe - BananaBrain

It's highly decent honestly. - DemonSpiritGhostKitten

This was my favorite song when I was 8 - BananaBrain

Okay song, but very overplayed in a short time. - Userguy44

This song is so overplayed and annoying. Radioactive and Just Give Me a Reason shouldn't be on here!

Just Give Me a Reason is as bad as this if you hate this, but I like both - venomouskillingmachine

I can't think of any other song on this list that's so devoid of anything good. "Best Song Ever" was pretty much stolen from another song, but it still sounds okay. "Blurred Lines" is actually pretty good if you don't listen to the lyrics. Even the god-awful "We Can't Stop" had a tune. But this? This is just noise. Not catchy enough to dance to, no pleasant (or really any) tune, and no redeeming lyrics. The only thing I can say in this song's defense is that it doesn't hit complete rock-bottom like "Stupid Hoe" did last year.

I remember this trend. It was so annoying. - BananaBrain

Great rustler. - Userguy44

So annoying everyone playing it and dancing shut up!

I wish I could strangle whoever's repeating bubble butt over and over again - BananaBrain

Terrible song like really bubble butt but that makes me laugh

For those of you who don't get it, it was Bruno Mars who kept saying "bubble butt" over and over again in the song.

Guess who said bubble butt bubble bubble bubble butt. (hint: he catches grenades for girls and tells them they're amazing just the way they are) you shocked?

For those of you who don't get it, it was Bruno Mars who kept saying "bubble butt" over and over in the song.

It's a song about butts made for people to take seriously... What else do I have to say

He famous just because of the stupid gangnam style and stupid ass dance

Shockingly bad remake on the crappy gangnam style

PSY thinks this song is gonna get even more hype than gangnam style but NOPE!

Straight up bad Gangnam Style. - WonkeyDude98

How is this not higher on this list? This makes me want to go deaf...or better yet, listen to GOOD music.

This is not country, that's for sure.

It really makes you not want to cruse

Absolute crap song. just... no

I'm with another user that it was will's inability to perfect a beat like he did in Dirty Bit (and he copied the beat from it and still couldn't) that sank the song. Bieber is saving it from being one of the worst songs of all time. - WonkeyDude98

Terrible song of will.I. am. This song has awful lyrics and I've heard Justin Bieber worse. Worst song. Worst lyrics. you SUCK Bieber!

The drop has two notes. TWO NOTES. People get annoyed of four-chord pop songs and only hate Bieber's part of the song when his part actually had buildup. The drop is TWO NOTES. It's just so awkward and bland. Leave drops to Major Lazer dude. - WonkeyDude98

Justin Bieber at least hit puberty when he sang this song! You can no longer hate Justin Bieber, haters! Take this off this list, please!

Put this at #1 please!

Yeah. When Future is the better rapper on a song, you know that the song is abysmal. He was in all of 2013's worst moments, working with Rocko and Lil Wayne to tear the year down.

Instead, a rapper I usually don't mind, Lil Wayne, brought it down to near unspeakable lyrics. Where U.O.E.N.O. was more consistently bad until Rick Ross, Karate Chop was more of one violently bad moment.

But it might have possibly been the worst moment in history, as Lil Wayne metaphorically uses Emmett Till in a way not even Insane Clown Posse would because it was so bad. - WonkeyDude98

Even without the terrible Emmett Till lyric, this song could not even be saved by 2Pac or Notorious B.I.G., not even Eazy-E for that matter. An abysmal beat put atop the watery vocals make the song feel like a boring and failed club song. - Swellow

For once I can't even blame Future for sinking yet another song. This time it's Lil Wayne's fault for letting loose the single worst rap lyric of all time.

"Beat that ***** up like Emmett Till".

Basically, you have Rick Ross, trying to act like a pervert with his horrific lyrics. Rocko wastes his talent, and Future is plain trash. - Swellow

This song is what you get when you have a bunch of people in the studio who just don't care what they're putting out.

This song is literally about people not wanting to know something, but they take it to heart so badly (fun fact - every lyric in this song has "you don't even know it" at the end) it only gets worse. And then we have the infamous S&M joke in it... - Swellow

Is Rocko even on this? It sounds like he just got Future to sub entirely for him. The beat is a two-note farty synth, with one note trailing behind the other, without any gang vocals, bass, or complexity at all. Every line (including in the verses) ends with "you don't even know it" (try to say UOENO with your mouth closed).

Then we have the rapist Rick Ross. - WonkeyDude98

Taylor Swift's 22 at 22nd spot. Laugh out loud

I never liked Taylor Swift, her inability to write songs and sing isn't even worth arguing over because of how obvious it is. The only thing she knows to write about, for the past 4 albums, is boys. She also only knows how to curl her hair and wear red lipstick, like every single time you see her. So it's no surprise this song was an attempt to make her look like a care-free 'hipster'. She knows nothing of hipsterism, she's a mainstream artist.

Too much autotune.
She sounds like Katy Perry.
She became a singer by telling people that she is such a "country cutie" and this song is like the worst pop song ever. It doesn't make any sense, it just reminds us how old she is by telling that she is "feeling 22".

I'm 22. Can't wait to be 23 now.

No this good - BananaBrain

If this song Demi Lovato keep singing about having a heart attack, then she's gonna get a REAL one.

This is one of my favorite songs - - spodermanfan1000

Why do radio stations play this and consistently ignore Kate Bush? It's sad.

Obviously one the worst songs of 2013. Someone help explain why it is even above disaster (<1/10). Katy Perry has the permanent effect of Brain Control, making everyone be her minions and forcing them to buy all her stupid songs especially this piece of junk. Juicy J screwed up his whole verse and the beat, or man, it is stupid. People really need some help getting their minds back and maybe they will realize how much of a pest Katy Perry is.

Has nothing to do with a dark horse at all. My guess is she wanted to take some old clever sounding phrase or whatever, and make it into a bad song in hopes people would think she has wisdom. Beat, stupid. Lyrics, like a 6th grade girl wrote them. The addition of 'Juicy J', doesn't make you look gangster. You're an awful, mind controlling, candy coated woman who knows nothing about real music and is sexualizing young girls because you're the only other pop star there is.

Why is this song overplayed? There's one lyric that has to do with jeffrey dahmer. That guy was a cannibal for crying out loud!

"She'll eat your heart out like jeffrey dahmer." Jeffrey dahmer ate more than just the heart. He ate the whole body.

I love this song it's not fair

I hate modern music... But this is a decent song.
At least the song is sang with emotion, unlike the electro-dance-pop-techno- Whatever you call it that plays on the big radio stations.

I do not like this song, but did this song have to be added to the list? Do people know what worst means? Just because you do not like a song, does not mean you have to add it to the list, as long as it does not sound terrible. When I Was Your Man does not sound terrible, but I do not like it. - madoog

I love the song so much

All I hear in the song is causing and hello honey boo I hate this song!

If this was worst music videos this would be 1. - SuperheroSith

I can make better music than this! He wasted 3 wonderful songs:( All that I hear is "Uh huh honey" and dirty lyrics!

The next time you say you're rich and show that ego to stars like Britney Spears and Katy Perry, you're losing a hand, KANYE WEST!

WHY IS IT ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE? THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST SONG AND WORST VIDEO I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! OH MY GOD WHEN I HEARD IT I LOST FAITH IN HUMANITY!

I love Rihanna, but this song is boring

Pour it up pour it up. Watch us all throw up. Hate this song so much.

It's clear that the "gangster" route is the WRONG way for Rihanna to go. She's better off making R&B love jams, like Umbrella and Diamonds. Not THIS crap.

It was one of the best songs of year come on

I don't consider myself a feminist in any way, but I actually found these lyrics kind of offensive. He keeps referring to "it", how he can't wait to touch it, how it's all his. Romantic. And the line, "So thick! Now I know why they call it a fatty! " Sure does make me swoon. I like the song if I just don't pay attention to the lyrics.

I really like this song I think it is upbeat and it is one of the best songs of the year.

Uh, I like this song, it shouldn't even be here let alone the top twenty.

This song is sweet but it's so boring - BananaBrain

The vocals sound like a little gremlin is singing for the first time in it's life...

Every time I hear this song I want to hurt someone... Mostly myself so I'll never have to hear this awful song. This guy learned to write lyrics from the "Dust in the Wind" and "Every Rose has its Thorn" school of rock. And oh, the lyrics... How deep they are, how insightful! And that odd, pretentious voice you use to sing the song which makes you sound like a old, wizened elf... Brilliant!

The vocals are just boring, and there's really nothing in it. And I mean NOTHING.

Honestly? This should not be below when I was your man. It also happens to be behind Stay, Just give me a reason and Get lucky. When she is singing, It looks like she is on a drug trip. Not only that, but the lyrics, despite having a great meaning, are dull and lifeless~ Just like lorde's god awful singing. To add insult to Injury, she won either 2 or 4 grammy's. But hey, the people choosing the grammy's have no idea what music is. For example, did you know that The Rolling Stones and queen never won a single award?

So what if you lost your gold memebrship? No one else cares

This song needs to be way higher in this list! Number 1 in this list! How is this song so low? Perhaps this list is voted on by trolls who hate Gas Pedal, which is the best songs of 2013. This should be cut off from the best songs of 2013 in this list. Just because she is young does not mean she is not talentless. She is talentless.

P.S. Can someone please add Bridge Over Troubled Water by Jackie Evancho in this list, please? That song is as horrible as this song.

Gas Pedal is not a good song, it's literally the worst piece of garbage I ever heard. - Swellow

You are kidding me, right? This is only #57?! This song is just plain retarted. It makes no sense. This is the only song of 2013 that beats radioactive for me. The only thing that can make this song worse is the music video! God, WHY?!?! Whoever put this song at #6 for the best songs of 2013 are stupid people with no value. God, There are so many stupid people in the world!

This songs is a huge disgrace. It sounds so bad and is so overplayed in radio stations. And what the heck, it reached no. 1 on Billboard. Please it is the worst song I have ever heard.

The sound of that harmonica and Kesha's atrocious vocals alone make it perfectly deserving of the top spot in this list. They are ear-piercingly bad. - Ross115

Pitbull can't sing. And that's that!

Whenever I hear this I cover my ears... its poison! It's the worst song in history!

Seriously who the heck says thiss? It is one of his best songs and there's nothing offensive or language about it that makes it awful. How often do you find such a nice happy song these days?

I hate Bruno Mars. He can't sing, he clearly has no idea what a relationship is, and is the most pretentious thing ever. The proof: this song...

It's okay if you don't like his music, but saying he can't sing is biased. - DCfnaf

Why would this song be hated? Like, what's wrong with it? Is it the lyrics? Bruno's voice? What is it? Bruno's voice is good and there's nothing wrong with the lyrics so what's the problem here? - Mcgillacuddy

Treasure is good. There are too many good songs on this list. - madoog

Nice beat, wrecked by Jason Derulo. Overall though, his best song. That's not saying much, is it?

Shut up Derulo, just shut up.

I think this song is good

This song is baad

Could have been written by a 5 year old, #1 in my book

"I crashed my car into the bridge. I don't care! "

Why thanks for reminding us about the endless pile of cash that you celebrities have to blow on cars and bridge damage.

How is this EDM? The instrumental just sounds too lame to qualify as that - SpectralOwl

Vapid, Boring, Insipid, Tedious, Unimaginative, Bland, Uninspiring, and Meaningless crap.

When I first went to see this movie with my family in November, I didn't even for once, sit there in my seat at the theater and think, "hmm, this song is inspiring, this song is catchy, this song is deep." I told myself, "Dear God in heaven, this sounds like it was written in a week by a middle schooler and never tweaked or revised over, like it was taken as it was! " if you could place this song into my hands, I would 'let it go' in a heartbeat, no thank you!

AWFUL song. Idina Menzel is a terrible singer, and Frozen must die IMMEDIATELY. Every time I see some Frozen related item in a store, I just feel so, SO sorry for my generation.

When I was in elementary school I liked anything Frozen. Things change. This song is SO OVERPLAYED AND SO OVERRATED.

A complete piece of Disney crap aimed at little girls and dumb teen girls that never should have become popular.

For some reason this song makes me cry so that is why I don’t like it

I am apparently one of the few who hates this song, but here is my reasoning. It builds up to nothing. It tries so hard to be emotional but never does anything to provoke a response. It is just a simple piano number with whiny lyrics over it. "Say something, I'm giving up on you" mixed with semi-cryptic lyrics over a sad piano number is not emotional. It is boring and poorly written. In fact, without Christina's name attached to this track I doubt it would have made it onto the charts at all.

Like a great big world of embarrassment, this song is so stupid and sounds like a dying Bibarel while Christina sounds like a dying Diggersby. How come no one put this song in this list and people put great songs like Gas Pedal, Freaks, Berzerk, Rap God, etc. in this list instead? Because they never heard such great songs (not Say Something you idiots). I vomited while hearing this song 3 times and this song makes me wanna bang my head on the walls a billion times per microsecond causing me to die. One request, please vote this song as one of the worst songs ever. This song sucks like Royals, Team (Lorde), Roar, Dark Horse (Katy Perry), Counting Stars (Onerepublic), and Demons (Imagine Dragons). A Great Big World, Is There Anybody Out There? Yes there are, those you controlled (all 7 billion people excluding me). SO shut up and suck it up, RETIRE you IDIOTS!

This Song Was Alright At First, But Then It Got So Overplayed I Got Tired And Sick Of It - VideoGamefan5

This is so laughably bad it's not even worth picking apart. This is definitely Bruno's worst song. - BananaBrain

Nothing like a love song that makes you envision apes having sex.

This song should be in the top ten. If Bruno Mars is going to "make love like gorillas," then someone is bound to get seriously hurt. Not only that, but the song just sounds more depressing than whatever he wanted it to be. Now I'm afraid to go to the gorilla exhibit at the zoo.

I really like Bruno, but I just can't get with this one. I'm no expert in gorilla fornication, but somehow, I just don't think that "making love" is the most fitting term. The thought of "You and me baby, making love like gorillas" just seems kind of scary.

Now she's singing about her ABCS?!?!?!?

WHAT?! How could anyone hate this song?

THIS SONG IS LEGENDARY! Avicii is one hell of a DJ.

Who in the world put this song on the list... - spodermanfan1000

This song is unique and great --- the vocals, superb. - madoog

This song is so bad and these people are idiots - BananaBrain

He's egotistical as hell and annoying too. He thinks he's god, so basically he's Kanye West. Wait, no. That's an insult to Kanye. This dude rambles on and on about how he's so much better than you in the verses and then the chorus is a colossal mess about how he doesn't want to be alone. What? He's basically the white Future. That's right. I said it. Worst song of 2013 hands down, possibly worst of the decade.

To think this guy used to be in Escape the Fate, now he's stooped as low as to go the Auto-toned rap route. Utter shambles.

I probably would've voted one of the more overplayed songs that annoyed me, but... Oh god, that vocalist. That guy just completely sank this song to the absolute bottom of my list.

Lorde's failed attempt to prevent people remembering her as a one hit wonder

What is she and her group saying stop slurping up your words Lorde just stop - Epic123

What? This is quite good of a song.

Dumbest song I've ever heard. I hope this group goes away. She'd have a better career in adult film.

This song is plain disgusting. I only like Kendrick Lamar's part.

This song plain sucks and is literally drowned in nothing but auto-tune. Robin Thicke in my opinion, tries WAY to hard!

For a rapper who puts out such amazing albums, Kendrick sure has some god-awful guest spots.

What the hell is Kendrick Lamar doing with this dumb, Justin Timberlake wannabe?

Back when Ariana Grande actually "sang" well. - DaWyteNight

This is a great song, how is it #29 on this list?! It peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. That's pretty hard for a debut single. Her vocals are amazing and her vocal range is extremely high. Seriously, how could somebody hate this song?

We hate this song because love songs are extremely terrible nowadays and her vocals are high pitched and the lyrics are dumb. And the Billboard has a terrible taste in music.

I can't take this crappy song anymore!

This song sounds a lot like those "Thugs need love too" songs from 2000-2002. Thankfully, there's no Ja Rule on this one, so it doesn't sink that low, but Mac Miller isn't very good either. Ariana Grande at least sings decently here, pretty much just like all the other similar songs from that era.

There's many other bad songs that should be highter. This song is great and it should not be on the list

I love this song and I think that one direction is cool

It's not bad but its overplayed to the point of overpopulation.

The only GOOD song by One Direction

This song is a complete and utter failure. The rappers sound bored and clearly don't give a about their lyrics or delivery. The beat is depressing and lifeless, and does not make for a good party song. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I swear, someone is making duplicate accounts and putting the best artists of the year like Lorde, Imagine Dragons, Jackie Evancho, and OneRepublic on top of their lists. Suspiciously, they all have Gas Pedal, Love Me, and 23 all as honorable mentions.

I sense that a certain someone is controlling this. - WonkeyDude98

I'm actually put off wanting to drive when I hear rubbish like this. No, seriously. It's as if Sage was asleep in the studio and someone hit the record boring and recorded his sleep talk, then they turned the snoring into beats, and there's nothing redeeming to help out the song. - Swellow

What is this bass, it sounds like the farts of a dying cow. The synths, while limp and sluggish, are still too energetic for the song. There are gang vocals, but they are breaths and not actual chants. Sage the Gemini and especially IAMSU aren't even talented to compensate.

-1/5, Flo Rida, why did you give this hack his career back? - WonkeyDude98

At least it's something different. It actually sounds like an old smooth jazz song from the 60's.

I love this song, it's a great song just to sing when your HAPPY!

Like this song, although it can get annoying in one point

Its decent, but due to the fact that it is overplayed, the song starts banging in your head

This song is so annoying my ears bleed every time I hear this abomination - BananaBrain

This song is annoying and boringly happy. The woo woo ooh hoo hurts my ears. This song only got popular and got airplay because their name has the word American in it. I got sick of this song coming on on the radio. - madoog

I loved this song. But then a lot of pelople kept using this song for their commercials and that ruined the song for me 😞 - StayAlive

"A sly as a fox as strong as an ox" what kind of lyrics are these. Total rip-off of all the rhymes.

This song is extremely retarded. It's only at #90? This should be number 1 in the worst songs! Just retarded song.

Horrible. Just horrible. Lenka can't even sing it's also annoys me. Really? 90? It should be number 1!

Lenka is the most annoying Asian singers ever.
