Worst Songs of 2019

The Top Ten
1 7 Rings - Ariana Grande

This is by far the worst song I have ever heard from Ariana Grande. It's a stupid flexing anthem where Ariana Grande sings and raps about how she has so much money she can afford to buy 7 rings from Tiffany's for her and her friends during a drunken night out. The production is awful, it ruined My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music, it culturally appropriates the style of black artists, and the lyrics make her come across as a smug Paris Hilton-type (Whoever said money can't solve your problems/Must not have had enough money to solve 'em). This song is pretty much Ariana Grande's version of "Me Too" by Meghan Trainor, only instead of bragging that she is so beautiful others wish they were her, she's bragging about how much money she has compared to everyone else.

When I first listened to this song I though it was fine. But then after watching a review, I just realized that this was a trap song made by Ariana Grande a very talented pop singer. This song is complete garbage! She tries to rap in this song and she sucks at it. This song was a huge misstep from her career. It's just her bragging about how rich she is and it just flat out sucks! During the chorus she interpolates Soulja Boy's 'Pretty Boy Swag' which is a horrible rap song. But Ariana fails at doing the chorus miserably and it just comes out as annoying. And it's not just the chorus, throughout her verses she interpolates 'My Favorite Things' a classic song from a 60s musical and it just doesn't work at all. Why would she do such a horrible thing? The production also sounds cheap and boring. After Grande released it she gets accused for plagarism from Soulja Boy and 2 Chainz. This was such an embarassing moment for her. Come on Ariana you deserved so much better than this. Of course the song topped the Hot 100 for quite a while and it didn't deserve to. I used to enjoy this song but I felt so wrong doing that. It was so deceiving to me that it became a huge hit in 2019. This is the worst song Ariana Grande ever recorded and the worst #1 hit of 2019 next to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi! This is just an example of a pop artist doing trap music that really sucks. It's a huge shame that this was Ariana's biggest hit. I hope she doesn't do anything like this again. (0/5)

2 Earth - Lil Dicky

Please keep voting for this song so it gets back to number 1. It deserves the top spot a zillion times more than "7 Rings", which is actually decent.

Someone shoot me now. this song is ment to be some sort of big gesture towards climate change and making the world a better place and it failed miserably. Michael Jackson wrote we are the world with lots of different artists and that song was great. lil dicky (ha, sorry I can't say his name without laughing) wrote this song with lots of other artists and it was an absolute shamble. I feel sorry kevin hart because he got dragged into this mess. If this is what music is gonna be like forever then I hope climate change comes early.

3 Press - Cardi B

Wow looking at this list I didn't realise how many bad songs there were in 2019, most of which I'd forgotten about as most of them flopped anyway. I chose this one because Cardi b has never made a good song to begin with anyway so she could be featured on ever years worst song list for as long as she continues to make what she considers 'Music'. It's really sad that she's considered an artist when like I said she doesn't have one good song in her discography.

One of the worst songs released so far this year. Cardi B's only lyrical content is her private parts, money, and her criminal activities. This song only further proves that Cardi has less talent than a rock.

Okay nevermind all that, this song actually blows. Cardi B's aggression works well but it sounds awful here. There's not much personality here either. I feel that after ever song she puts out she's getting worse.

4 Skinny Legend - Rose Mulet

I don't know what's more embarrassing, this or the nudes you posted the other night.

This is basically "Rich, White, Straight Men" by Kesha but even worse.

I mean at least there's no autotune...

5 Dance Monkey - Tones and I

This song is just so annoying, it's overplayed and has achieved great success around the world but I just don't understand it, like am I missing something because I tried listening it and I cannot get into it, it hasn't even grown on me a little bit in fact the opposite is happening the more I hear it the more I hate it. The song doesn't even show signs of dying out either and it's been months and months as of writing this comment.

If you live in Australia, move out for a while and when it comes off the radio, come back. This is the most annoying song since I Don't Care by Justin Bieber and Baby Shark. It makes me want to buy out every cd of this album and snap them in half all at once. The autotune is so bad it is obvious. She is literally the Billie Ellish of Australia but instead of her music being creepy, it is cringey instead.

I just don't understand this song at all? How is it so popular every time it comes on the radio I have to turn it off it's not even growing on me till now April 2020 the song is still extremely and I mean extremely popular. Am I missing something or? Because I just don't get it.

6 I'm Single - Jake Paul

You are single because no one likes your awful songs, Jake Pool.

It's bad but not as abysmal as his Litmas EP, My Teachers, Ohio Fried Chicken and other songs.

I hope you stay that way. You don't deserve a girlfriend anyway.

7 Butterfly Doors - Lil Pump

This is trash, the production is beyond lazy and generic and sounds like kindergarten piano. Lil Pump just sounds boring here. 0/5

That Yao Ming line is so incredibly racist, especially the "ching chong" that comes after.

Why is this song higher on the best songs of 2019 list than the worst list?

8 Wobble Up - Chris Brown

This song reminds me of 'Bubble Butt" by Major Lazer feat. Bruno Mars, 2Chainz, Tyga ad Mystic, that chorus might be one of the worst I have heard "Monkey on a dick", "Wobble on a dick"...and than there's the lyrics that spill from G-Eazy that he made this girl cancel her shift at work just so she could twerk on his dick. This song is gross and am glad it's tanking.

There are nice synths here but the lyrics are disgusting! Plus it's EXTREMELY repetitive and Nicki sucked here and G-Eazy's verse had bad lyrics. That cover looks awful too!

Really? you know what I have nothing to say anymore. Making music like this only goes to show how talentless you actually are.

9 Apple Berry Nana - Eric Bellinger

God, Eric Bellinger is at his whiniest and most nasal in this song. This guy can actually make some decent songs that work for his voice like Circle of Love if he wants to, but for the last few years now he chooses to make this kind of awful garbage instead. If you're going to make music, at least put some effort into it. This kind of music doesn't even sound good, and the lyrics aren't anything unique, interesting, thought-provoking or worth hearing. I don't care about how you "never knew it could taste like that", Eric!

Edit: Okay, I don't hate this that much anymore, mostly because it actually gives me a laugh at how mind-numbingly bad it is.

God, where do I even start? The nasally vocals? The bad, cringey lyrics? The generic and unfinished trap-n-b beat?

How do people actually listen to this? This guy sounds like Jason Derulo with a cold!

10 Be Like Me - Lil Pump

Yeah I envy you so much with a 15 minutes of fame "Music Career" built off of attention seeking, so tell me lil pump how did you create so many incredible songs that changed peoples lives, making masterpieces that will be remembered for decades and decades to come so future generations can look back and think "Wow" I wish our music was good like this, spreading positivity with your actions and your messages you send out encouraging people to stay on the right path in life. How do you do it? Because I "Really want to be like you".

Who would want to be a drugged SoundCloud rapper on LSD 24/7, on the verge of being arrested, lives in her mom's own basement, and being more likely than not will have to beg once his 15 minutes of fame is up?

I'm not sure if anyone would want to be like this abomination of a rapper. He also didn't go to Harvard, he got expelled from many high schools. Plus he spelled "Harvard" wrong in the album title.

The Contenders
11 Twerk - City Girls

Wow, so this is what Rico Love is doing these days? I'm pretty sure he is part of this as his catchphrase "turn the lights on" is said here. Well, that figures, Rico was responsible for some pretty cringey "r&b" songs back in the day.

Very lowest of the low "Music" absolutely appalling, to be honest I thought this nonsense was left in 2013 where Miley Cyrus tried to make it cool but came across as desperate.

Haven't heard this but I can tell this won't be good because of the title. I thought twerking wasn't a trend anymore.

12 Rich, White, Straight Men - Kesha

I mean, if you have an "Important" message that you want people to take seriously to get across and you want to do it through music then you also have to your music seriously as well, otherwise like I said people are not going to take you seriously and it's going to back fire on you.

Pretty much a response to the guy she lied about getting sexually assaulted by. Dr. Luke makes this hoe famous and she tries to get him in trouble and diss straight white men for attention.

Oh my God! What in the actual hell did I just listen to? Just when I'd thought Kesha was improving, and she releases this?

13 Earth 2 - Big Baller B

An obvious rip-off of an already bad song that doesn't deserve to be called a "sequel".

Not gonna lie, but this one is just as bad as the original version.

This was made as a joke. The guy that made this song hates Earth.

14 Bohemian Rhapsody - Lil Meerkat

I honestly don't know why people put Lil Meerkat, Submarine Man and "rappers" like them on the list you know all the music is garbage if you even consider it music, and not just garbage like dang that song was ok but the singer was bad, more like this isn't even music just weird sound and ruining of good classics, just trolls hungry to get attention and people just feed them. Sad

This song is just a piece of crap. Not only that, but it's a disgrace to one of my favorite songs of all time. It has terrible autotune, nonsensical lyrics, awful music video, etc. For some odd reason, the music video has parts stolen from On the Floor and Mo Bamba, that technically makes it a terrible song.

Can these crappy Mumble rappers just STOP already? Espically the "Lil" ones? I have only listened to the sample and it is torture. Screw this crappy mumble Meerkat guy for a horrible cover of a masterpiece song. Sad that after the great movie of the same name we get this. Freddie Mercury must be rolling in his grave right now. - B1ueNew

15 Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi

At least in "Perfect", Ed Sheeran sounded kinda sincere throughout.
I'd like to call this Perfect 2.0 -- 5th biggest hit of 2019 worldwide (according to Mediatraffic), was somehow super big in the UK that it has the longest stay in the top ten as of now.
And this piece of crap has literally nothing to it. It's literally just Lewis Capaldi crooning over a mediocre piano ballad, constantly whining about how he misses his past partner when it really comes off as repetitive and bland.
I could kinda understand why "Perfect" was huge on radio, as it's really a not-so-bad sounding waltz tune that was just overplayed to death. Not seeing how people would like a fake Ed Sheeran whose voice is obnoxious and is really leaning towards something by 6ix9ine. 0/10

This is 1 of the few songs that I despise. First of all, it is obvious that he is England's next "American Crossover" to get big in America after the success of Ed Sheeren that we had over this decade. A slow, sad balled by a nobody from the U.K. But, this song is not half as good as ANY of Ed Sheeren songs. The lyrics suck and don't make any sense. Like google the lyrics and it won't make any sense. But my biggest problem with this song is that his voice is GOD AWFUL. Who told this man that he could execute a belt well? A dying dog will hit these notes better. He has NO breath control or support, which will ruin your voice in the future. His lower register isn't really good either. He sounds like he's bellowing in a very sad and depressing way, which is what the song call for, but it just doesn't sound good. Overall, this song is a train wreck that I have NO idea how it #1 0/10

16 Sally Walker - Iggy Azalea

This is hot garbage, not as bad as those other 2 atrocities but this is trash. It's a complete ripoff of Humble and the stupid nursery rhyme except with a overly-repetitive chorus of "Do yo thang" for a couples of seconds. Awful. 0/5

This is only getting hate because it's an Iggy Azalea record. I give it a 3/5. Not great but certainly not as bad as TheTopTens makes her out to be. (basically the Dora of music)

Iggy needs to go back to making GOOD songs. Like Black Widow or something.

17 Memories - Maroon 5

"Girls Like You" still sucks in my opinion but at least that had a catchy guitar lick.

On the other hand, we have this piece of crap hitting the top 10 even with the invasion of Christmas songs lately...

Instead of straight up bashing it like I usually do, I'll just ask a question: Why do people like this? What's so cute about Adam Levine saying "the drinks bring back the memories" and even worse sticking that in the chorus? What's so memorable about this love song?

Big tip: If you're gonna make a love song at least make up decent lyrics and not the repetitive stuff over and over. Easily one of their worst releases. 0/10

Why are they still making music at this point, I mean they don't even try anymore and it shows. Over the past few years they've made some of the most generic pop songs on the radio, but this song has to be the worst so far what's up with singing and slurring his word like that.

18 Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored - Ariana Grande

Is it just me or is Ariana Grande getting worse and worse with music these days. Her earliest days back when she was making song covers as a teen and her album Yours Truly was good along with her song Put Your Hearts Up were good. Then these stuff came a long and it started to go down the drain. First Side To Side, then Boyfriend, God Is A Woman (which is by far the worst) and now this along with 7 rings. I'm done...

This song is just GROSS. I used to like Ariana's music back before it was always about her self absorbency. This takes the cake as the most annoying song of hers other than 7 Rings. If you're so bored, Ari, please do anything other than rapping about yourself and how everyone should revolve around you.

Better than 7 rings. Actually, at this point, I think almost ANYTHING is better.

Edit: I listened to thank u,next and this is the best song from it.

19 Dumb Blonde - Avril Lavigne

Breaks my heart because I adore Avril but this song is terrible in every concievable way. It's a wall of noise that goes on and on and that bridge where Avril virtually sounds like she is squeaking at points is just the tip of the iceberg. Also we can't watch you if the song is on the radio, Avril.

Who was the target audience of this song? She needs to evolve because the majority of her fan base are people who have been there since the beginning and have obviously grown up now and are not going to listen to a juvenile song like this.

I mean... why? Head above water was such a beautiful song and gave us the impression that she has evolved into this mature artist who is about to release an album about her recent life struggles and then we get this. I understand some musicians want to have some fun and take break from reality but this song was just beyond immature and overall didn't make sense with the direction she going in with the first song released from the same album.

20 Stinko Foot - Submarine Man

Submarine Man is a disgrace to all hip hop music and artists. The single cover looks horrendous and portrays Submarine Man in heaven as an angel. The lyrics are awful and nonsensical and all revolve around feet and compactors. It ruined the great song known as Sicko Mode by Travis Scoot.

What did I just listen to? I can't honestly imagine actually taking this seriously.

Has he ever seen that one flash cartoon known as Homestar Runner? Cause I know where he got that title from.

21 ME! - Taylor Swift

I came here specifically to see how high up this song was on this chart and voted because it isn't high enough. Sure, this is probably not the worst song on this list. Earth is worse but I wanted to raise public awareness about this gutless cash grab. Mind you, I don't hate Taylor Swift in general and I believe every artist, no matter how terrible, has good intentions but this song is awful.

Instrumentally, it's competent but Taylor's poor lyricism is really inexcusable this late into her career. Hire a writer! Oh, wait it took three people to write this drivel. Any song that features an artist unironically shouting "Hey Kids! Spelling is fun." deserves all the hate it can get.

The song's message also rings painfully hollow as Taylor insists that "You'll never find another like her" while failing to cite anything that sets her apart from her competition. If anything, the song only provides reasons to abandon her immediately. "I'm a handful" She reminds you. According to her, She talks like a psycho on the phone, she doesn't think before jumping into compromising situations, and trouble is bound to follow her wherever she goes but, hey, She's the only one of her!

Sure, you can't spell awesome without "Me" but you can spell awesome with Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie. This is trash.

22 Robbery - Juice WRLD

This is easily the worst I've gotten from Juice, the vocals are too painfully bad for me and the production needs some more effort. 1.5/5

Sexist garbage, I listened to the album this came from and it's just as bad as the song.

Yeah. This trash got what it deserved. Let's not let him notch anymore hits, okay?

23 Hey Look Ma, I Made It - Panic! at the Disco

Still surprised at how anyone can bear through the annoying synth/keyboard pad at the beginning, or, even better, the godawful backing horn "melody" at the chorus which frankly doesn't sound like a melody whatsoever, a "collection of random noises" fits better. 1/10

24 Shake It - Lil Xan

I don't like any of these new rappers but Lil Xan is the worst literally the worst out of all of them.

Lil Xan is trash

25 Please Me - Cardi B & Bruno Mars

Why do I feel like I've heard this song and melody before?

The song itself isn't as bad as I was hoping it would be, but it really isn't anything to special either. The good thing is that Cardi B's verses are really short, so it's more of a Bruno Mars song than a Cardi B song, but I'm still annoyed that she's in it. But I can see this getting heavy radio play this year and sadly being a guilty pleasure. I really don't want to like a song that Cardi B is a part of, but Bruno's ability to make bad material sound good is in full affect here.

This shrunk on me because of Cardi's verse,but I really like the production on this. It really gives off some great retro vibes.

This song is incredibly average because it sounds so déjà vu. I mean, Cardi B doesn't change her rapping much and the instrumental is a recycling of "That's What I Like" combined with the chord progression of "My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ's. And also, Bruno Mars camps it up a little too much. Sadly this song will very likely get the overplay treatment to the point where it'll make me feel nauseous.
