things are about to get bad welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we're counting
down our picks for the top ten worst hit
songs of the 2010 so far for this list
we've chosen hit songs from the 2010s
and are calling them out for being lame
poorly produced and just plain back
we're defining a singles release date as
the year the song came out not on the
album it first appeared on
a song like Rebecca Black's Friday which
went viral was not considered since it
is not a true hit song
number 10 the time dirty bit the Black
Eyed Peas
hey the time of my life the Black Eyed
Peas may be a group that routinely
embraces style over substance but taking
the course of a song from dirty dancing
and adding a shrill unrelated beat
sequence to it was a new low
not satisfied in sampling a classic 80s
tune though be ep's lyrics in this top 5
single also includes some misquoted
lines from other songs like Nellie's hot
in here yet the temperature is that
these ladies get freaky and even
somewhat impressively references Snow
White mirror mirror on the wall just the
baddest of them all
however with critics questioning the
shoehorns in time of my life sample and
one in particular calling it a
low-quality attempt to satisfy listeners
the reality is that the group's latest
party track is just not very good I want
to try crazy number 9 hey Portia
Nelly Nelly did appear in a honey nut
cheerios commercial so he can't be too
surprised at his willingness to endorse
certain products yeah but his crafting
of an ode to a car Brad was truly an
awe-inspiring move that's not even
talking about the song itself which was
clearly created to be as radio-friendly
as possible
the result is a track as lightweight as
any song not aimed at children could be
the songwriters may have thought it was
witty to write lyrics that could apply
to both a car and a woman and hey
Porsches top 50 placing might support
this but we must boo their ultimately
forgettable efforts here
number eight harlem shake baauer that
this song only really became a hit base
on the meme videos it spawned rather
than through its own musical quality or
lack thereof may not surprise many but
the base hip-hop and trap track is
remarkable nonetheless
excited by a New York Times writer as
perhaps being the moment when hip-hop as
a construct begins to lose meaning
Harlem shakes beat may be satisfying at
first but the song essentially has one
trick that repeats over and over India
Harley
despite the amusing nature of the videos
that spread far and wide almost a year
after its initial release if we never
heard the Harlem shake again we've got
to admit
we'd be happy for it hey Harley
number seven fun pitbull featuring Chris
Brown feeling crazy the Melilla
tonight is easy way low eight we know it
may seem like an impossible pill to
swallow that pitbull released a song
that isn't very good but bear with us on
this one Chris from Monaco performance
on Microsoft Miami today g4 we taking
off ripping off or paying tribute to the
Miami Sound Machine depending on your
point of view pitbull and Chris Brown
tamely sing or rap over a beats
deserving so much more in fact the
tracks best parts far and wide are the
few seconds where the vocals drop out
and we are treated to the beats alone
and that truly says everything you need
to know about fun
baby you a song
Cruz remix Florida Georgia line
featuring Nelly
Laure de Georgia line is one of those
bands like Nickelback that is hated by
many but somehow still sells tons of
Records time and time again
however keep time
she's popping right out of the sample
who are and the bro country track crews
continued that trend first found on
their it's just what we do ap in 2012
the single is given the Nelly remix
treatment the next year with the
collaboration somehow giving the rapper
two hit songs in the last decade about
vehicles as it reached the Billboard Hot
100 top five in 2013
that's just the way with this version
the trio created a song that is 100%
boyband material
seriously though when you hear a song
with the lyric baby you a song just turn
it off and walk away nothing good can
come of it
number five whip my hair willow
sit your mind back to the dark days when
the spawn of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett
Smith's seem to be taking over pop
culture thank God that we made it
through that trying era
if I know love
a relic of our struggle still exists in
the form of this awful song that we're
not going to take it easy on just
because it appears to have been meant
for kids and is by a kid
see me pull up
listening to a child who to that point
had done nothing but shared DNA with two
famous people boast incessantly over a
ceaselessly annoying beat is
cringe-inducing no matter how you look
at it
we're sorry willow we will not whip our
hair back and forth for you even if your
debut single reached the hot 100 top 20
number 4 Bom Bom Sam & the womp
wait the basin Jonny Bom Bom York is
undeniably one of the most respected
figures in modern music but listening to
the lead singer of this UK 3 piece
trying to sing like her just makes us
want to side
trumpet miscellaneous various electronic
noises that are supposed to be cool and
that voice makes us long for all the
noises to stop shortly after Bom Bom
starts a song so irritating that it
manages to make it's almost three-minute
runtimes seem tortuously never-ending
number three stupid ho Nicki Minaj I get
it cracking like a bad bag you see the
Queen when she's looking like a lab rat
when artists sit down to record an album
a lot of the time the first tracks they
pump out are superficial and are more
likely than not exercises and recording
to start their creative process and as
such they are never released to the
public this song gives off the feeling
that Nicki and her producers were just
screwing around and you can just imagine
laughter at the end of each line she
spit but instead of locking it away they
included stupid ho on pink friday roman
Reloaded and made it the album's second
promotional single a song that is
grating and absolutely stupid there's no
denying Nicki has skills but she just
didn't bring them to bear here
it's 90 summer why did you do
number two selfie the chainsmokers but
first let me take a selfie
when the chainsmokers noticed how big of
a trend the world selfie had become they
decided they wanted to take advantage of
that and recorded a song that was
supposed to be more a joke than an
actual single release you guys help me
pick a filter I don't know if I should
go with XX Peron Valencia I want to look
at what you the caption be I want to be
color but it soon caught the interest of
record label dim mak which released the
EDM track for the DJ duo and instead of
standing apart from the world they meant
to Lampoon this ode to the superficial
world we live in wala was in the deepest
part of that pool sup guys is Alex
Andrew chainsmokers we just want to say
thank you so much for uploading your
selfies and changing our lives making
the Harlem shake seem like a magnum opus
selfie lacks any unique elements I would
have given it anything resembling
personality or memorability
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
I'm glad you came takes me mija today
takes me how today takes me hates me how
to good you talk dirty to me
I'm rag city [ __ ] crack crack city
[ __ ] in the m10 20s in the fifties
[ __ ]
come in at amount with your block number
one blah blah blah
Ke$ha featuring 303 yeah will you live
at just turn around boy let me hit that
don't be a little richer chit chat Oh
auto-tune why must you be used by so
many so-called artists and almost every
single thing they released you know like
Ke$ha
perhaps ironically about people who talk
without anything to say Kesha herself
might do well to look in the mirror as
she doesn't seem to have much to say in
this electro dance track notably
repeating blah blah blah and nanana over
and over again to diminishing returns
then you throw in the guest artist
segment that feels utterly disjointed
from the rest of the song though that's
arguably a good thing which seems to
have no point here or anywhere else cuz
I don't care who you are in this bar it
only matters who I am and what you get
is an awful song that somehow became a
top-ten hit
that's how can Bab
so do you agree with our list which hit
from the 2010 so far do you think is the
worst anything you want to do I'll be on
it to everything you said is like girl
with the view for more terribly terrific
top tens published daily be sure to
