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 wanted to hear that, but I voted... wouldn't change

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

Worst song of this decade.

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

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

You mean Worst Song Ever or the Worst Band Ever.

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

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

To me, bad is the absence of good. And this is the only song, (besides Lil Wayne's) that had absolutely nothing good about it. It was dull, the singing from Katy Perry was again not good, and the lyrics were uninspired. Overall, THE WORST, beating Blurred Lines by a landslide. At least with that stupid song, it had a rhythm to it and it was a cool beat. This? Hell no!

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!

It's not even the fact that this is a four-minute Jordan commercial, it's not the fact that Wiz Khalifa, Miley Cyrus, and Juicy J are all terrible rappers, and it's not the fact that this is a lame tribute to Michael Jordan. No, it's because of Mike WiLL Made-It's beat. Let that sink in. - WonkeyDude98

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.

I don't like this song. - PokemonYesTeletubbiesNo

If this music video goes over 1 billion views, western civilization is doomed.

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

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.

This song is so damn annoying. It doesn't make any sense. The lyrics are mostly those obnoxious fox sounds. The fox at the end of song is so annoying. Most of this song is tiresome.

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?

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

Wait, Bruno sung the hook? Did he TRY to shoot himself in the foot? - WonkeyDude98

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

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

Don’t judge me, but I actually love this song. - PhoenixAura81

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

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.

I would like to touch upon this song. This is one of those songs that definitely leans toward one way between good and bad, but not enough for early notable recognition.

WHAT IS THIS? I don't have the same stereotype Spectrum Pulse and Todd in the Shadows have for the WGWAG genre, but this is truly awful. The problems lie in vocal performance, lyrics, and how the song is framed.

The vocals sound like OMI's if he lost 30 IQ points in exchange for no autotune. Yuck.

The lyrics range from the "you don't know what you have till it's gone" to "everything you touch surely dies". Also, "only know you love her when you let her go".

THAT lyric lies atop the issue in that it isn't meant to be moral, it's an egotistical persuasion to leave the one you love so Passenger can have her. I'm disgusted.

This was short, but my verdict is a 1/5 only because it actually has some kind of crescendo unlike other WGWAG songs. - WonkeyDude98

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.

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.

Demi has an heart attack. She needs to stop singing. I hate her music. That's all! Whitney Houston is better.

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.

If there's one thing I can give this song, it's probably one of those songs that reach that level of being "that bad". - WonkeyDude98

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

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.

CRAP

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".

Scream and Shout was a good song in my opinion. Don’t hate me. - PhoenixAura81

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

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

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.

Hey, I finally found that song that kept hearing in the radio back in 2013, where the chorus just sounds like he's repeating the letter P. - SpectralOwl

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

You are a potato, not a god. - AlphaQ

No, you are a fish. - WonkeyDude98

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

No, your a duck.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 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!

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

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?

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 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.

I hate her music. - funnyuser

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

#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

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

I'm Jamaican myself and I feel embarrassed that this guy that can't rap is from my country.

It should be easy to avoid this song - SpectralOwl

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

What, this song is great. How did this get so high anyway? - WonkeyDude98

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

What? This is quite good of a song.
