Worst Songs of 2018

The Top Ten
1 Billy - 6ix9ine

With this song, I stand firm in my belief that 6IX9INE is this generation's Lil' Jon. This song is related to GUMMO, and is somehow even worse. Much like the rest of the artist's life, there isn't a single moment in this thing that isn't gross, disturbing, annoying, or all three. I hope this guy is happy for making the worst song I've ever listened in my life, and the Lil' Jon of the 2010's.

I don't usually describe songs as "nothing but obnoxious noise," but this song...it's much worse than "just obnoxious noise." It's indescribable how bad this sounds. 6ix9ine is the biggest embarrassment to the music industry to ever exist.

This is what happens when you diddle with kids: automatic first and second place on the top tens.

6ix9ine is terrible as always, the song is VERY short, the few lyrics suck and it should be one of the worst songs ever, but I really like this production, and after hearing chocolate from him... this is a masterpiece in comparison.This is a 0.25/5, and chocolate is the worst song ever.

2 I Love It - Kanye West & Lil Pump

The whole song is just 2 voices talking weird stuff that doesn't even satisfy the lowest common denominator. And not to say, the excessive use of the N-word and references that should be rated as X, and don't forget the lazy (ghost)production! The music video is really boring as well, just Kanye and Lil Pump walking down a long corridor with numerous small sculptures in Roblox looks. Overall a disaster. -154801/10

This "Music" if you can even call it that is exactly what's wrong with today's society, the sad thing is I remember when everyone thought they were cool on social media singing this song even some of my friends I'm ashamed to say. Music for the brain dead such horrible, shallow and degrading lyrics.

Surprised this made hardvard dropout because I kinda thought Kanye was the lead artist. Then again, both of the artists were trash on the song. It sucks no matter what album it's on. Lil Pump auto tuned to the max, Kanye rhymes the f word with the f word over 6 million times. Lyrics all about taking lines and having sex with multiple women

So happy it's out of The Big Top 40. The title is the opposite of my opinion on the song.
1. The cover art looks like a copy of Sean Paul's Mad Love! Just look at the colours! Pink and white!
2. It took the radio ONE WEEK to get the Freaky Girl edit.
3. It's by the creator of Gucci Gang
It is bad.

3 Freaky Friday - Lil Dicky

You know, when I first listened to it, I was like "that first verse is bad but at least the production could make up for it..." up until it got to that "Wait, can I really say the n-word? " part. Like, for god's sake, nobody wants to hear a couple of whiny children and their speeches about abusing each other's lifestyles.
Even worse, it's so damn pathetic how this was a Top 10 hit in 12 countries and NOBODY stopped to think "Are we giving this way more attention than it deserves? ". Screw this, and screw its fans for making it a hit. -2/10

This song does indeed have a lot of stupid lines, but you guys are missing out on the real killer here, when Chris Brown as Lil Dicky says this: "Ain't nobody judging 'cause I'm black or my controversial past"
Chris Brown has done many wrong things in the past, one of them being him putting Rihanna in the hospital -- and he's clearly not willing to take the blame at all for his actions. Screw him and screw this piece of crap. -1/10

4 Bohemian Rhapsody - Lil Meerkat

This is a musical masterpiece with beautiful lyrics about anime and sprite. Lil Meerkat is a genius and is the best rapper of all time. 2Pac is garbage compared to him. Freddie Mercury himself loved this so much, he was jamming out to it in Heaven. If you hate this, you have no taste in music.

Also, it uses footage from YouTube videos like DJ Akademiks' reaction to Sicko Mode, IceJJFish's On the Floor and Sheck Wes' Mo Bamba music videos and movies. Lil Yachty appears for some reason. By the way, the alternative names of this song are a disrespect to Queen.

He ruined a legendary song classic, "Bohemian Rhapsody". Now Freddy Mercury is rolling in his grave after hearing this crap. This is also why I hate some remakes of good songs. My sister doesn't even like original songs just because they don't really sound like the remake. Remakes can get annoying. What a Disrespect by Queen! - Connor4808

5 I Like It - Cardi B

I don't "like it." In fact, what I really would "like" is for Cardi to give up this rapping thing and go away. Her being talentless isn't what bugs me the most, it's that she actually thinks she's dope and believes her own hype that really gets to me. This song is awful, most of it isn't even in English, and the parts that are in English are just Cardi talking about her plastic body in her annoying voice over a very unappealing beat. I know I say this quite often when talking about modern songs, but there's literally nothing to like here. Not the beat, melody, lyrics, and certainly not the performance. The only thing that stands out is the chorus but it doesn't stand out in a good way either, it's just Cardi trying to rap like Offset (probably because Offset ghostwrote Cardi's lyrics for her since she's a talentless piece of trash who can't even come up with her own lyrics.) I mean, Offset is by no means a talented lyricist, but he's definitely much better than his plastic piece of ...more

This song isn't TOO bad. Fancy and fitting trap beat? Check. Well-enough use of the sample? Check. Can Cardi B actually rap? Of course she can, this site literally hates her for the most foolish reasons I can think of. The only problem with this is Bad Bunny, who is pretty stale.
Then again, this song is competing with "songs" like "Freaky Friday" and 2 6ix9ine songs on this list. REALLY pathetic if you ask me. She doesn't scream like 6ix9ine, she isn't completely monotonous like Drake most of the time, and let's be real here, this is better than Freaky Friday. If you can't find ANY aspect to this that sounds the SLIGHTEST bit fun, then you probably just have a bad taste in music. 5/10.

The lyrics feel half-hearted and sound like a Nicki minaj demo, and the sample is overused and too strongly resembles "nice for what". Her vocals are annoying as hell, and bunny and Balvin are both unnecessary and annoying. Please go back to being a hoe in Bronx, at least you'll be providing a service that contributes to society in some way that doesn't involve Instagram or crappy hip hop. Thanks.

I don't hate this.
Sure, the lyrics are basically Cardi B talking a lot about how she likes her wealth, does that mean it sucks completely?
...nope.
Throughout 2018, I've realized that even with garbage lyrics, there's still a possibility that the song can be good enough. Fancy and fitting trap beat? Check. Well-enough use of the sample? Check. Can Cardi B actually rap? Of course she can, this site literally hates her for the most foolish reasons I can think of. The only problem with this is Bad Bunny, who is pretty stale.
Then again, this song is competing with "songs" like "Freaky Friday" and 2 6ix9ine songs on this list. REALLY pathetic if you ask me.

If you can't find ANY aspect to this that sounds the SLIGHTEST bit fun, then you probably just have a bad taste in music. 6/10

6 Fefe - 6ix9ine

It's better than everything 69 made, at least he isn't screaming anymore. Is t good? HELL NAW!

Jeez, it's so horrid and just obnoxious and even Nicki minaj is bette than this and her songs are mostly not that good. Let lone Tekashi...-1/5

This song is awful, the lyrics are awful, the music video is awful (what WAS 6ix9ine doing with that dog?! ), the "singing/rapping" are awful. Everything about it is awful. -iNFiNitY/10

So so glad Billboard did not include that song on their top 100 greatest songs of the year. That song is simply terrible in every possible way.

7 Keke - 6ix9ine

I'm listening to this absolute trash pile of a song as I write this. 6ix9ine is becoming my most despised name in music, and this song is one of the reasons why. -3/10

The fact that this song is actually the best song on his debut shows how disgusting that album is.

Damn, he locked down the top three and has two more in the top ten. That's just embarrassing.

8 Meant to Be - Bebe Rexha

Ah here we are. The faux-country got that kicked This Is America out of the top 10 because of America's horrible music tastes.
Ok, well first off this is like pretty much every REAL country hit and a lot of pop songs - this is a sex song. What's wrong with that? It's literally hogging off quality songs from the top primarily because of the lack of effort. As usual, Bebe's singing is awful (and now she sounds like a wannabe Anne-Marie) and whoever from FGL sings this is also trash. Then comes the chorus:
"WE'RE JUST MEANT TO BEE x4"
Yeah this is absymal. -1/10
At least Bebe isn't the endless screecher shown in 6ix9ine.

I used to really like BeBe Rexha, but then she changed and started making garbage like this... Bebe, you are not a country singer, you sound a lot better singing all your fault pt 1. All your fault pt 2 was not good, I only liked The way I are and (not) the one. Hope expectations is better.

If I hear this song ONE MORE TIME then I am going to punch someone. Heck, it was all I could do not to punch someone the very first time I heard it. Lazy country and lazy pop DO NOT mix well!

The vocals are so cringe. The lyrics are repetitive and meaningless and the beat is so generic. This song somehow reached no.2 on charts and I hope it doesn't reach number 1.

9 Fortnite n Chill - Ricegum

Let's be honest here guys the only reasons you guys are voting for this are because.
1. You saw me have it high on my remix and constantly voting for it so you voted for it to bandwagon off me before actually listening to the song.
2. You love PUBG, Nintendo and Minecraft so you judged the book by it's covered and said "ITS FORNTITE SO IT SUCK" AHHH PUBG DA BEST! AH
So yeah. Don't bandwagon off me next time or hate it just because of "Fortnite". I'm probably the only person on the site who even hated this song and Ricegum before you all started figuring out who he was after I started to make rants on him.

I can't wait for Ricegum to lose all of his subscribers! Not only is he a toxic and annoying influence on society due to his issues, but his songs received mostly negative attention from others due to the lack of good messages. Ricegum caused a lot of controversy through one of his songs, including his savage actions and rowdy attitude. Guess what Ricegum? It's not Fortnite n Chill! IT'S Poopnite n Pills! Songs from epic bands like Pink Floyd and Queen are so much better than all the trash you released! No one wants to binge listen to your trashy songs that only focus on your pride and ego.

WOW. This is what Rap and Music as a whole has come to now? Autotuned songs about video games? What's next? A song about Star Wars? A song about Jimmy Neutron? I wouldn't be surprised if next year some random no name "rapper" came up and made a song about a bunch of memes like Shrek and MLG. I fear the future of music.

It's crap like this and clickbait youtubers that makes the fortnite community / fanbase look bad. I'm ashamed. Seriously.

10 Chocolate - 6ix9ine

This "song" is basically Trumpet Lights and screamo mixed together in 1 song. Billy is terrible but this so much worse. Worst song of all time. -infinity/5

I thought Billy would remain the worst song off that mixtape until I heard this.

I'm saving a whole rant for this idiot at the end of the year.

Dear God, this is a mess.

This is garbage

The Contenders
11 Buba - 6ix9ine

6IX9INE is less than human. It's a stonefish, and it's going to jail for the rest of its life.

I hate to admit it, but this is pretty catchy.

I don't want an album from garbage.

Even more 6ix9ine trash...

12 Friends - Marshmello and Anne-Marie

Girl viciously rips into her real life friend who wants to take things to the next level, rather than just getting rid of him. All to make a buck. That's just wrong.

Friendship can only survive if neither of them are interested in the other. You can't reject someone & still have them as a friend. Nor can you control how someone feels. It just doesn't work like that. It makes the situation cancerous. If you keep the interested party around, then as sure as the sun rises in the east, they're gonna keep on trying again. They've been writing songs about this for at least 50 years - & even back then they realised the only way to stop this is to cut ties.

I was OK with this song at first, but now it's just immature garbage to me, especially with lyrics like "You say you love me I say you're crazy, we're nothing more than friends" or "You really ain't going nowhere without a fight". Not to mention I hear it constantly on the radio and keep having it stuck in my head. 1/10

It's fine if a girl rejects you, but I'd cut off anyone who rejects me in this manner. The song basically says you're obligated to stay her friend and can't move on with your life.

For me, this song has gone from okay to bad to garbage. The lyrics, as I have said, are immature, plus the buildup in the pre-chorus makes me want to laugh myself silly.

13 Te Bote - Casper Magico

This is annoying and Ozuna is not even the worst part of the song. What a surprise!

Yeah no, this song is pure garbage.

Yeah, don't expect too much from a "song" that's 7 minutes long and translates to "I Dumped You"

14 Never Be the Same - Camila Cabello

I said that this song was annoying, but now I changed my mind. This song has grown on me so much that it might just be my favorite song from 2018 so far, but that doesn't stop it from being bad. Never Be The Same is just a generic pop tune, and that's all there is to it...except her voice really doesn't sound good on the high notes, but I just like it. I don't know why.

When she was in Fith Harmony, Camila was able to get away with it but without the complementing vocals, we are able to finally hear just what an awful singer she is. If it were not for her established fame from Fith Harmony, she would have paled into obscurity once people heard her terribe voice.

Make this abomination #1

Her voice is very piercing, she sounds like a constipated dying cow with the scream of Fred Figglehorn, Lemongrab, a chipmunk and Jeffy combined into one.

The lyrics are talentless and horrible
The instrumental is horrible
The vocals are horrible

This song gets a -5/10

15 Freak - Borgore & Gentlemen's Club

Some people hate Avicii and David Guetta because they think they're "overrated" but what about artists like Borgore? They don't even qualify as music artists. Borgore, please its time to stop!

Wait, this douchebag still makes music? I thought he was over. With how bad Salad Dressing is, I am not even going try listening to this one, I know it will be very awful.

This is one of the worst songs of the year. The lyrics sound like every stereotypical rap song, and the drop is absolutely unbearable. -10/10

I don't even have the energy to whine about Borgore anymore. This is the musical quality I'd expect from him so...-5/5

16 I Love the Smelly Feet - Submarine Man

This is what is passing for music now? Yikes.

A rip-off of I Love It, which was already bad enough.

As bad as the original Kanye version of this song is,
I REALLY don't understand how it's ranked so much higher than this

Cough cough cough This is so bad I cried.

17 Girls Like You - Maroon 5

This song is not bad, it just would've been more understandable if it were an Adam Levine solo song. Maroon 5 is no longer what it used to be. I bet you don't even know the names of members other than Adam Levine. If so, I understand 'cause Maroon 5 is all about Adam Levine, and Adam Levine only. All musicians are put aside and all we hear is computer beats and processed guitar/synth/keyboard loops. Maroon 5 stopped making sense as a band in 2012 when they went too commercial. Why don't they just split so Adam Levine can go solo?

18 Kream - Iggy Azalea

A song by Iggy Ass that is worse than Mo Bounce is ultra rare. Congrats, you did the impossible Iggy. Plus, why on earth who you collar with Tyga? Out of all the rappers you could've chose, you chose a pedophile with a long-dead career.
Yeah, this song blows. -1/5

For those on Twitter who demand that I buy and stream this song...I have better songs to listen to that are miles above this song on quality. This is just Iggy and Tyga breying on and on about money and sex. This song blows.

I really don't want to hate Iggy Azalea but trash and boring songs like these make it difficult for me. This song is easily the worst Ronny J beat and he's usually a good producer. Not to mention Tyga is extremely boring and stoned here. Trash. 0/5

Iggy Iggy sounds like she's half awake and on drugs, only saying money related words, and demanding "I NEED MY BAG QUICK-I-LY".
And Tyga couldn't make anybody's ass talk to him even if he tried.

19 Captain Out of Tune - Lil Mosquito Disease

The only reason why I voted is because this song is everything society was leading up to. you might think we achieved peak human performance sometime between 2017-2019, with classic releases like the emoji movie, thunder, fortnite, youtube rewind 2018, or even super bowl 53, but you'd be wrong, because this holy invention has been bestowed to us by the godfs abo e. us homo sapiens have peaked with this song, and I canno't wait to see what other concepts of pure art my homie jesus will give us next. therefore, I must give the honorary best song of all time to this mastapiece right here ladies and gentlemen.

This song is a masterpiece created from the heavens above. Humans have collectively peaked in 2018 with the release of this timeless bop.

With a name like that this song doesn't deserve do be taken seriously.

What. This is absolute garbage

20 Warzone - Yoko Ono

Listening to this "song" is the same as being stranded in a warzone. -10/10

She still makes "music" I see.

How is this not higher?

21 Dame Tu Cosita - El Chombo

I remember when this song would clog up my YT recommendation tab so much that it even drowned out Fortnite videos.

It's about a twerking alien... with some weird flexible spine who repeats the same lyric over and over:
"Dame tu cosita! Uh, uh, uh! "

I have no idea what this song was made for. I'm guessing it's to make a diss track against vaginas or penises or something, but this should get banned due to the lack of goodness.

Never thought I would say this, but "Chacarron" is actually way better than this annoyingly repetitive crap.

And now this crap is about to get 1 billion views. This world really saddens me sometimes!

22 Ilovefriday - Mia Khalifa

HIT OR MISS,
I GUESS THEY NEVER MISS, HUH?
YOU GOT A BOYFRIEND
I BET HE DOESN'T KISS YA!
MWAH
HE GON' FIND ANOTHER GIRL AND HE WON'T MISS YA!
HE GON' SKRRT AND HIT THE *DAB* LIKE WIZ KHALIFA!

It's not a good song. It's dumb. It's lazy. The lyrics are awful. Don't even get me started on that boring trap beat. The only redeeming factors are the fact that the voice of the girl who sings the infamous "Hit or miss" verse really entrances me for some reason, and the "hit or miss" part is really catchy, like, the dumb kind of catchy, but still enjoyably catchy for me? And then there's the overdone memes that spawned from making fun of cringy Tic Tok kids dancing to this song. That can be seen as both a positive and a negative.
Also, maybe it's because I was exposed to all of this as an ironic meme first, but I actually think the original tic toc video with this song isn't as bad as 95% of things on tic toc. I don't know why, but the girl in the video also ...more

It's jyst These two idiots called I love FRIDAY dissing a pawn star for no apparent reason over a droning trap beat, with annoying as well whack flow vocals.

Like I said with Mo Bamba: the beat is alright, but the lyrics and singing are absolutely abysmal.

Get this to number 1 or top 5. Also this became popular only because a Tik Tok girl singed a part from the song

23 Hope - Xxxtentacion

Sometimes I can understand why people love X so much and look up to him and all that. Sometimes I don't understand.
But may I ask how the hell people think this is quality music?
If X had gotten rid of the intro, I could just hear this once and shove this off as another lame suicidal anthem. But no, he just HAD to add the intro to make people sympathize with this abomination. His voice and the beat certainly don't help either. -2/10

The opening lines of this track are "Rest in peace to all the kids that lost their lives in the Parkland shooting, this song is dedicated to you" yet then he goes on to do his typical victim blaming and saying he wants to die. If that's the definition of pissing on their graves, I don't know what is.

Okay, I would've assumed this song would've had some sort of decent tribute to the unfortunate Parkland shooting, but reading the lyrics made me sick. All it turned out to be was Triple X playing the victim of some BS that was completely unrelated. Yikes. 0/5

I really hate that I defended this song. No hate to X(I still like some of his songs) but man, what a way to disrespect the parkland victims with that guilt tripping though.

24 No Brainer - DJ Khaled

It's not really surprising that this sucks, considering this is the same guy who made that horrible, lifeless bragging anthem (I'm The One) and even stole a Santana song and turned it into mainstream garbage (Wild Thoughts). Also, the lyrics are trash and who knew that he could make Justin Bieber be as repetitive as hell? 0/10

No wonder Lil Wayne didn't want to be associated with this. To be on a song like this you must be really desperate because this a sad attempt to make "I'm The One" 2.0 which fails massively.

DJ Khaled is becoming a parody of himself, this song is just a punish to listen to, in between the awful production that consists of chipmunk fragments, Bieber sounds like he would rather be with his fiance, Chance the Rapper spills a terrible line about a woman choosing between his co stars and Khaled's son and Quavo is forgettable in that its just similar to what he would say in any Migos song and he is quickly getting into overexposure territory.

Bustin Jiebers, Quacko, and Chance The Crapper are Back with DJ Thinks-He-Makes-The-Best-Music, and yet they make a song that actually sounds likeā€¦"Somebody" by Natalie La Rose & Jeremih. Yes, I'm the first one to say it. It sounds just EXCATLY like "somebody". There is no originality in pop or hip hop music anymore. Quacko uses so much autotune on this song (as usual), it actually sounds like someone gargling with mouthwash and calling it "music". Rancid Chancid can't sing or rap, and Bustin Jeiber is still using his annoying voice. I can already guess the fact that Lil Wayne didn't show up on this, just because his verse on "I'm the one" sucked. And it did.
What's next? Another song with Rihanna and Bryson Tyler? Another song with Beyonce and Jay Z? Another song with T-Pain and Ludarcis? Another song reusing the same people and not making it as good!?

25 Mo Bamba - Sheck Wes

This song has no point or effort put into whatsoever. What a terrible song. The beat is pretty decent, but the lyrics make no sense! Really, what kind of lyrics are "Oh! F***! S***! B****! "? Just saying random swearing words in a song does NOT make it good, it proves that the artist can't make up his own lyrics, and when he tries to do it, he ends up saying random stuff that are pointless. The long vowels make the song stupider and stupider, and then he randomly starts yelling about he rich he is, proving he only raps about money. Sheck Wes obviously uses autotune to the max and still thinks he sounds good. He does not! He's nothing but a no-talent wannabe basketball player. Can't sing, dance, rap, act, can't do anything that actually makes a person unique or special! The music video includes him showing his no talent to the world, and a group of boys are actually surprised, but don't see that he can't do anything. Sheck Wes also tries to be hip and cool by filtering the music video ...more

And this year's "Billboard 100 Top 10 Hip-Hop One Hit Wonder" award goes to... whoever the hell Sheck Wes is! Congrats on your 15 minutes of fame. Hopefully Travis Scott regrets your cosign

Why is this crap in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100? The long vowels in every verse make it sound awful because of his singing voice, and the lyrics are God-awful. 0/5

This song is abysmal. The beat is alright, but the lyrics and the guy's singing voice are absolutely atrocious.
