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

Agree, her voice is annoying. Her performance in her concert... no, just no.

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

WORST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE! KILL ME NOW!

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!

Good god, this is an abomination. "We Can't Stop" is like "Set Fire to the Rain" compared to this. - DCfnaf

Let's see...

A dreary, lifeless beat that Mike Will Made It produced? Check.
Rappers that don't sound enthused at all about what they're rapping about? Check.
A chorus so bad that it somehow makes most Death Metal singers sound good? Check.
And some of the most sexist lyrics I've ever heard in a rap song? Definitely a check.

Why would anyone ever buy this?

Its sexist and disrespectful to women. Its not even a good song - LegitGames12

Any lil Wayne song is horrible. this one is no different

Nobody wants to hear about your sex dungeon, Lil Wayne

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".

This song makes me wanna puke and bleach my whole face. This is the WORST song of the WORST album. It's even worse than My X and this is basically one of the worst ways a man can be tortured. -10K/5 - AlphaQ

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

This song sounds good. - madoog

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.

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

That's why I miss old look of Miley Cyrus

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

The most incredibly lazy lyrics I've ever seen. - Popsicles

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

One Direction has no musical talent what so ever and they should just go away.

"Midnight Memories" was One Direction's worst album where every single member of the band came off sounding like complete douches, this isn't the worst song but the production crew who stole the melody from The Who song "Baba O'Riley" need a serious clip over the ear. - crowdiegal

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'm not a huge KP fan, but I usually don't mind her too much. But I thought that "Roar" was really beneath her. As she sing/talks her way through one lame, tired cliché after another, I just want to find a way to make it stop! Who let this become a fully realized song, played on the radio and everything. Once you reach this level of fame, don't you pay people to stop you from making such dire mistakes? And the video! She fashions a spear in order to hunt down... A banana? This isn't even "awesomely bad", it's just bad!

I was in a dance class (Which I left because of bad teaching and mean girls) and we practiced this song. Every day, I had to hear it about 45 times. It was SO annoying! The girls there were older than me, they should understand what good music is and get off their phones and remove the wallpaper of their butt (One girl actually had that as her wallpaper). I mean, this sing is so bad! WHAT HAPPENED TO PEOPLE LIKING FLEETWOOD MAC!?!? - maddyparrot22

I hate this song with all my life.

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.

So annoying everyone playing it and dancing shut up!

Stop please I can not take this song anymore

The only redeeming quality it had was that it became a meme. Other than that, 0/5 - naFrovivuS

This isn't a serious song. It's a joke. Ylvis themselves said that the song wasn't supposed to be taken serious. It was just for laughs.

How is this considered music? The song is overall horrible, stupid and atrocious. The lyrics are horrible, but that damn chorus... is annoying as hell... This song should be number 1 DEFINITELY, in fact I'm actually ASTONISHED that this piece of garbage isn't number 1. At least We Can't Stop isn't annoying as hell and at least the song (in my opinion) is decent as it is. This song should not have been created and the world would be MUCH MUCH happier and better without this damn, god-awful atrocity. I don't know what Ylvis was on when this was made. Maybe drunk, perhaps?

This song is horrible. It makes no sense. How can this be called a song?

I have never ever seen a fox that goes "RATATATATATATAOOW", "HAPPY HAPPY HAPPO" or "AIEIEIEIEIAIAIAIEIEIEIAIAIE" before

This is not country, that's for sure.

It really makes you not want to cruse

Nah, it's a pretty good song. The remix is good too. - Catacorn

The "Baby you're a song" lyric is so cringeworthy it makes me wanna turn off the radio. - LoveMusicLoveLife

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 video is just brain tumor.Kim Kardashian naked in a Youtube video is literally unwatchable and makes you wish that you were deaf and blind.Please don't ever listen to this.-100/100 - Hellohi

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

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

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!

This song is what I call a victim of the Will.i.am effect. Start with a good build-up and destroy everything with a terrible drop that feels empty.

Britney Spears needs to stop, her reign has been long over and no one cares about her anymore. Her attempt to dazzle us with her stupid british accent in this song was something you could laugh about forever.

The most dumbest songs in history

This is literally the most retarded song I've ever listened to. It makes no sense whatsoever, and it is SO overrated! It was on the radio 24/7 and I never actually got to hear the songs I actually liked, this is the same case with Royals. - NerdyPweeps

There's a remix?

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

May be the worst song ever

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

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.

Ok this comment is gonna be cheesy/corny but whatever. Demi Lovato? More like Dummy Lovato... :3

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.

To respond to a comment below, it's not just his voice. (Which is awful) But the production, which is so minimalist that I can barely hear it, and the lyrics which are focused on pissing on you for letting a girl go.

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".

CRAP

No, you are a fish. - WonkeyDude98

You are a complete failure, not a god. - Swellow

No, your a duck.

"AA-AA-AAA-AAH" - Hotheart123

This sounds like its trying to rip off the Michael Jackson song, but the original version is actually GOOD. - Gunner224

Lol, Sean Kingston is so corny with his auto tune ass!

I think I'm gonna make this my new Jason DeRülo/Black Eyed Peas. I ain't gotta lie, no.

The only thing I'll give it was the behind the scenes video was absolutely priceless. - WonkeyDude98

I like this song. - madoog

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!

This Is From 2014 - VideoGamefan5

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 so goddamm bad. The first time I watched it I banged my head into a wall, Good Job Rihanna (SARCASM)

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.

I hate this song! The intro is extremely cringey...

This song counts because once 2013 started, that's when it gained success.

How is this not higher? This is an insult to hip-hop.

This song has so many stereotypes it's almost racist. - WonkeyDude98

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.

AAHHH! THIS ISN'T BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR? - Elijah_Cook

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

FYI, this song was released in 2012 - thunderstar1124

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.

This electronic track is awesome. - madoog

I'll admit, it's a dance song you can actually dance to, but the dance sequence is plagiarized from Aha's Take On Me. Also, Pitbull. Christina is also not really coherent in this song. I give this a 1/5.

What a shame that my friends are absolute retards. They were having a dance and they had suggestions like Hello and Hit the Quan. But they decided they were too good for a dance song you can dance to (this one). Why? Because they couldn't find a clean version with lyrics. Because you need lyrics to dance to it. - WonkeyDude98

My pick for worst song of 2013, generic dance crap, Christina Aguilera, who actually sounded good in Maroon 5's Moves like Jagger, is unbearable in this. Resulting in her just repeating the same lyrics over and over as loud as possible. Pitbull being his ever cliche self, and the cherry on top. The ruining of Aha's 80s classic Take on Me. that alone puts this as the worst.

Christina ruins herself by collaborating with Pitbull, who goes ahead to send the song flying to rock bottom. The dance sequence is taken from Take On Me (which had one of the best instrumentals I have ever heard), and the lyrics stink. - Swellow

This isn't too bad, I mean, sure, it steals Take On Me, but I thought that was a good song according to practically everyone. Though, Pitbull drags this down. 3/5.

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.

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

LOL This song is awesome. - Elijah_Cook

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

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

Decent, but not something that I would listen to routinely

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.

FURRY - Elijah_Cook

No one gave Nicky Romero credit for producing this song, even though his name is written all over it! - Elijah_Cook

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

In this song, there's a part where she says " watch me do it in falsetto" then makes the ear-piercing noises of a chicken getting screwed in the wrong hole

Terrible. At least they redeemed themselves with their No Flex Zone cover. - Swellow

"Watch me do it in falsetto"

No actual falsetto, just squawking. - WonkeyDude98

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

I like the song, but I don't like the inappropiate beginning though

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.

This is okay.

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!

One of the annoying songs ever. - gothictomboy66

At first you think its great, then after the 300th time you heard this song and other people singing. Yes, its annoying

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.

Dude, this is stupid. #49? Should be #1! I HATE THIS SONG! almost everyone on the planet knows it and it sucks! >:( - NickelbackLinkinPark4Eva

#1 why is this dude screaming "I WOKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI! " At the top of his lungs? #2 thanks for writing a song about fainting at the luxury car dealership, now find a home! #3 he sounds like shrek drowning #4 just another generic rap song

The rap part is basically just your average luxury brag rap. However, the chorus is one of the most grating choruses I've ever heard in my life. I have no idea who sings it, but they need to get fired ASAP. The way he just screams "I WOKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI" is just painful on every level. - Zach808

Future is the one on the chorus. AKA the guy who made Honest and sang Turn On The Lights. - WonkeyDude98

Basically they took a pencil sharpener, distorted it a bit, added pitch correction, and called it a beat. - WonkeyDude98

Who tf is this bum and what was he shouting about? I wish all your cars would crash. - Hellohi

Whoever let these mediocre children ruin a Blondie classic should be shot. Why? Why? What did the world do to deserve this monstrosity? When it comes to cover tunes, unless you can improve on it somehow or totally make it your own, don't bother. FAIL!

They did this video to support a children's foundation, how can you call that mediocre?! And I believe this is a GREAT way to get your kids to get into old songs, it worked on me. And they definitely made a great job. This song doesn't deserve to be here.

They did this cover for a kid's foundation while there's other stars that won't care about those kids. it should not be on the list because they did a really good job

It makes me so ANGRY that this cover became more popular than the original. must show the state of todays society and music - NickelbackLinkinPark4Eva
