Top 20 Worst Songs of 2014:




A bumper crop year so let’s dive right in…




1.The Chainsmokers Selfie: it was only a matter of time for such internet-related language to be turned into a crappy pop hit.






2. Play-N-Skillz feat. Redfoo, Lil Jon & Enertia McFly Literally, I Can’t: never knew a song could literally only be its chorus repeatedly. And the crunk as the aside only distracts temporarily.






3. Ricky Carty Gyal Tek Cocky: only in Jamaica is it hype for repeatedly violent sex seen as something accomplished.






4. Jason Derulo feat. Snoop Dogg Wiggle: I don’t know what’s more embarrassing: Derulo singing bout a children’s game or the dry chorus.






5. Spice & Vybz Kartel Conjugal Visit: its 2014, using certain raw words to describe the animalistic nature of a good fuck just isn’t startling anymore.






6. Florida Georgia Line Sun Daze: I’m not even sure what genre this is because the tiresome reference to ska is suffused by guitars and country-fed vocals…no wonder its such a mess.






7. Swans Some Things We Do: for such a highly-regarded band, this repetitive track is one huge clunker.






8. Lil B Fuck KD: nothing wrong with doing a diss track on a pro athlete, but at least make it good.






9. Avril Lavigne Hello Kitty: remember when Avril was semi-relevant as an emo artist? Now, all I can do is laugh and not in the good way.






10. Mkto Classic: name-dropping famous soul singers does not a classic make.






11. Weezer Back to The Shack: for such a highly-touted band, Weezer should know better.






12. Magic Rude: not even a serious effort to sound stoned, just hides behind the ska smokescreen.






13. The Bug feat. Death Grips Fuck A Bitch: wearisome misogyny masquerading as a serious track.






14. Lily Allen Air Balloon: not even her staunchest fan can defend this slick pop nothingness.






15. Ay Streatz Wut Chu Tryna Do: there’s a thin line between being a sex hound and being a joke. This is laughable at best.






16. Mary Lambert Secrets: tries to be smart but ends up a ridiculous parody instead.






17. 5 Seconds Of Summer She Looks So Perfect: the sad thing is that I think these guys really think they’re hardcore. Scary.






18. Mariah Carey You’re Mine: wretched 90s throwback.






19. Pitbull feat. G.R.L. Wild Wild Love: generic to its materialistic core.






20. Fergie feat. Yg L.A.Love (la la): her return single may have thematically travelled all over the globe but its stuck in transit in reality.
