Since I finished reviewing 2016's year end, I decided "Why not do 2015's as well" so I decided why the Hell not? Now unlike 2016, I'd actually say 2015 was a good year overall. It was just filled with a lot of fun songs, and I'd say it was a transitional type of year, and a good one at that. So, in doing so, I decided to rank and review all 100 of Billboard's year end of 2015. Starting off with...

0-S**t
100. She Knows by Ne-Yo ft. Juicy J
YE Position: #97
It's not just the annoying baby noise that makes this song awful. I mean it is A reason, but it's not THE reason. My problem is with Ne-Yo himself and everything else around him. Ne-Yo is an artist I respect more than I'd say I'd like, and he is a good R&B artist. But this is the last thing Ne-Yo should be doing, I'd actually call this a career killing song for him. It's just him being mesmerized by this stripper and how much she likes it or something. Did I forget to mention this is a strip club anthem, because it is, a really shitty one as well. And not to mention the fact he got rent-a-rapper Juicy J, who we all remember from Katy Perry's awful Dark Horse and he's not all that good or memorable as he was there either. And I haven't even mentioned the production, which is just atrocious as hell. It's like he got the horns from London Bridge to see if he could make the worst song of the decade. Oh he came close though, the synths are a non-presence, the trumpets are awful, his falsetto here is terrible, every single thing about this song is awful. No doubt, this is the worst hit song of 2015. The only good thing I can say is that it wasn't as big as so many other songs were.

Well this is utterly pointless.
99. Only by Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne & Chris Brown
YE Position: #51
People think Bedrock was bad, this is 10 times worse. At least Young Money tried back in 2009/2010, here it's like they're not even trying! It's so minimalist in every way I can think of, from the wine glass synth, to Nicki's "punchlines" to Drake bragging about sex that hasn't happened, (While also slamming Meek Mill, I think) Lil Wayne sounds like he's high and just mumbles nonsense, and Chris Brown is the "best" part of this song with the hook. But even then, this song is just brag rap, and minimalist, it's one of the many representives of what I hate about modern rap, it's boring, dull, minimalist, and all they do is brag about wealth, sex, and drugs. It's why I'm mostly a bitter son of a bitch to that genre alone, moreso than pop, R&B and rock. I just want rap to be more interesting, and fun, not this.

2015 was the year that stupid viral dance trends were becoming hits. So why not get rid of them now while I'm at it?!
98. Hit The Quan by iLoveMemphis 97. Watch Me (Whip/Nae-Nae) by Silento
YE Position #83 YE Position: #8
They're both bad and awful, but I decided to get rid of them both because why not. And honestly, I would say that Hit The Quan is worse actually. Watch Me was just some stupid dance for the kids, and at least it was an actual dance. Even though Silento basically stole the same moves from Soulja Boy, at least it looks like a fucking dance. But Hit The Quan is not a dance move, or any dance at all. The both have terrible dance production, awful vocals, and the lyrics sound so dated. It's already been almost 3 years since they both came out, and they already sound dated. Watch Me even worse so, since he just stole moves like the Superman from Crank That. Hit The Quan is just him referencing brand names like Nike and Skype. And who would want to hit the quan anyway? Unless it was the other type of Quan maybe.

96. Flex (Ooh Ooh Ooh) by Rich Homie Quan
YE Position: #49
That type of Quan I could hit, mostly because in this song Quan is a disgusting rapist.
"Give that hoe some X, she gon' wanna sex every n***a in the set"
Yeah, I don't think I need to elaborate any further, except I'm gonna anyway. It's yet another brag rap flex anthem about drugs, sex and money, which doesn't really surprise me, it's just f**king awful. This guy cannot sing, these lyrics drag it down, and I never was able to understand what this guy was saying on first listen. I had to listen to this song with the lyrics in my face to get what he was saying. That's how bad this guys sings, and I hate it.

Too. Many. Urban. Songs. Out. More bad news for you, another Urban song goes out!
95. Nasty Freestyle by T-Wayne
YE Position: #50
Let's be honest, you don't know who this guy is and neither do I, all I know is he's some Vine guy that got famous for some reason and got a top 10 hit. And he was never heard from again. All the lines are just him bragging as well, nothing new there for rap music, and the only line I can remember is the first one, and this one:
"'Bout to have everybody sayin', "Who Is Rickey Wayne?"
Yeah, it's been over two years, and no one knows who you are anymore, you've become a forgotten blip on the radar of Vine success and internet fame, we've moved one from you. Everything about this is uninteresting and generic, and I'm moving on from this like everyone else.

The next two songs are non-urban, thus a short break from the urban purge. And it will continue next time I get the chance to update.

94. Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Meghans 93. Dear Future Husband by Meghan Meghans
YE Position: #75 YE Position: #74
Both of these songs are sterile, white-bred shitty 50s/60s doo-wop and bubblegum pop that just makes the whole genre look awful. And this is from the guy that will defend Sugar by The Archies Goddamnit! Marvin Gaye is worse though, because A) it mixes both the bubblegum pop and throwback vibe with modern trap elements and 808s, B) Meghan's verse is awful, (Seriosuly dog without a bone, do you even know what sex is?) and C) invoking Marvin Gay's name is not sexy, especially when you say "Let's Marvin Gaye & get it on." It worked for MKTO's Classic, because it was classy and had finesse, and the wording was much better executed. But this is sloppily written, has terrible genre blending that fails, and it's not sexy! And Meghan on her own song comes off as a total bitch, and acts like some type of man-eater who draws men in and if their not perfect, she dumps them. That may have worked on Blank Space, but that was like a literal self parody, the lyrics weren't totally bitchy, and the production wasn't shit. The entire song is like the insides of a adolescent girl's diary, and Meghan comes off as a Mary Sue, and I hate it. I can jam out to her previous two singles, but song #3 is normally when artists show their worst, and unfortunately for her, she showed she is capable of so much worse.

I'll just say this, Beyonce sucked this year.
92. 7/11 by Beyonce
YE Position: #61
This is by far one of her worst songs, and that is not a joke. The production is too trippy and obnoxious to be catchy with the awful synths, and trap hi-hats. The lyrics and almost every single line is repetitive in some way, at least other pop songs have the decency to have different lyrics in the verses and have some variety. If this is supposed to be Beyonce's attempt to have some drunk, party type song she failed miserable. And trust me, it's not just this song that sucks, most of her self-titled work from 2013-2015 was awful. Luckily Beyonce straightened her act in 2016 with Lemonade and made some of her best material yet. Unfortunately, she only had 1 major hit, ONE! Ugh, let's hope her next album is better, and can actually give her a string of hits.

DJ Mustard
91. Post To Be by Omarion ft. Jhene Aiko & Chris Brown
YE Position: #24
This is not even the worst DJ Mustard beat in existence, but that doesn't mean it's good either. It is different from the usual DJ Mustard formula though, but the melody, and the production is all over and annoying as Hell. It's random noises and they all seem to lack a melody, and it just sounds awful, because I can't keep track of the beat and timing. But the production is the least of my problems it's in our vocalists. We have Omarion who sounds like Chris Brown, Chris Brown sounds like... well Chris Brown, and Jhene Aiko sounds auto-generated. The lyrics aren't helping this at all either, especially since it's just your generic lame brag rap that got old years ago. And yes that infamous "Gotta eat the booty like groceries" is the standout worst line in this song. Everything about this is annoying and awful, from the lame brag rap lyrics, to the warbling production. Forget this trash!

I am not a fan country in general. I don't hate it per say, and I do like a number of country songs. But a lot of the time the genre just doesn't interest me and it does show it's worst too much, for example...
90. Kick The Dust Up by Luke Bryan
YE Position: #87
I don't know if I angered country fans or not, because it is Luke Bryan, the man that basically started this whole bro-country niche that I dislike a lot. I just don't like with how slow, plotting, boring, and generic it is for a bro-country song. It's not the worst bro-country song by any means, but I still hate this song because of the awful synthetic production and Luke is just a terrible singer. Give me some Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert country, not this!

I am not in love with the Coco at all.
89. Coco by O.T. Genasis
YE Position: #79
A cocaine anthem, 'cause that's what we definitely needed in 2015! This is just generic bragging about how he's in love with the "coco" with generic trap snares and hi-hats, his voice is nasal, and.. ugh there's just not enough for me to say about this. It's just a song about how a guy loves cocaine, why should I explain anymore about why this is awful?

If you haven't noticed by now, these types of brag rap and trap songs are not my type of tea.
88. No Type by Rae Sremmurd
YE Position: #70
I've said that DJ Mustard was awful, now we turn to a different beast; Mike Will Made It. He's basically a DJ Mustard clone, recycling the same tired beat over and over again, until I get sick of it. He's made good songs, more recently though such as Black Beatles, DNA and HUMBLE, but this is just trash. Not only that, but it is so boring, production wise. Rae Sremmurd is as bad as you'd thing, and they even contradict themselves, in the chorus "I don't got no type, bad bitches is the only thing that I like" You cannot say you have no type and then say bad bitches are, it's a total oxymoron, and I have no idea how the THREE writers didn't figure that out. Ugh, at least Black Beatles became a thing, and Swae Lee got better with Unforgettable I'll give them that credit, but this is still trash.

I don't got a non-funny joke for this, it's Chris Brown and Tyga
87. Ayo by Chris Brown & Tyga
YE Position: #86
This is just yet another lame boring brag rap song, by the two twins of awful brag rap/R&B. Ugh, just talking about them is making me tired. Or maybe that's just the lack of sleep I've been getting. Whatever, the point is, this is just Post To Be pt.2 in a way. Same generic production, same bragging lyrics, except this time there's some racist line about Mexicans or something. Whatever, this song sucks and it's boring me the more I hear it, what's the next song??

86. Tuesday by ILoveMakonnen ft. Drake

Ugh, another snoozefest of a urban song? Didn't this get popular because of a meme or some shit? Ugh, I'm too tired to rant, all of it's flaws should be obvious. The squeaky voice, the boring production, the lyrics make no sense or meaning, this is just a boring mess. NEXT!

Okay, I think that's it for today, I'mma go to bed, because I've been up all night and I need some sleep. I might be able to reveal up to 76, but I am hoping to get to maybe 71 or 66, it all depends on how busy/tired I am.

I like Nick Jonas, but this song is just trash.
85. Jealous by Nick Jonas
YE Position: #38
Yes, that "Right to be Hellish, I still get jealous" in one of the reasons this song is so low for me. And the answer is not Nick, you have no right to be jealous because this girl is "so sexy beautiful, and everyone wants to taste" her is not a good reason to be jealous. You just come off as obsessed and crazy, and for no good reason. He doesn't even say in this song if she was his girlfriend or not, so I'm obviously gonna assume this is just some random girl that Nick has a crush on. Jealousy does not always work in songs like this, and because this was a top 10 hit and Nick's biggest song and not Chains or Levels, America, you can do better than this!

1-Bad
84. All Eyes On You by Meek Mill ft. Nicki Minaj & Chris Brown
YE Position: #69
I left this out of the S**t tier mostly because I am a bit of a sucker for duets and even thought I don't like any of the artists involved, I do appreciate them going for some type of love song. But the beat is so vomit-inducing that I had to put it in the bad tier though. And I am not a fan of Chris Brown and the vocal effects either on this so, there's that as well.

83. Classic Man by Jidenna ft. Roman GianArthur
YE Position: #72
This is basically just the male equivalent of Fancy. And I actually would be one of the few people who like Fancy. Not only does some of the subject matter seem similar in vein, but it also feels like the same production it's like they went with the Pretty Girls and DJ Mustard route of just recycling the same beat. And it's not like Jidenna makes a good first impression, he acts like a total neckbeard and it's so unsettling. He makes suits and fedoras look uncool by comparison, like my God dude why?!

This song is such a bore.82. Girl Crush by Little Big Town
YE Position: #63
I don't hate this song because of the "lesbian experimentation" controversy at all. My main problem is that this song is such a boring country song, and it only got popular because of said controversy. And that reminds me, she doesn't have a girl crush, she's just jealous of this guy for being with another woman, that's all it is. I already had Jealous before, I'm not doing it again. It's not a girl crush, she is just jealous, and this song is a waste of my time and the more I tal kabut it, the more bored I become, MOVING ON!

So, The Hunger Games are a thing...
81. The Hanging Tree by James Newton Howard ft. Jennifer Lawrence
YE Position: #78
This song is boring. I never really watched or cared about The Hunger Games, be it the books or the movies. I don't really hate this per say, but it's too boring for me to care, and I don't really think the hanging tree adds much to the story. Of all the songs from The Hunger Games, why couldn't Yellow Flicker Beat be a hit instead?

Oh Taylor, for shame.
80. Bad Blood by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar
YE Position: #15
If I were including the album cut, it probably would have been much lower, but it's not like Kendrick makes it all that good. I do like the better production in the verses, and Kendrick does deliver some killer lines, but this song just is not a good fit for 1989. I can handle with Reputation more because it should be different, it should have more industrial pop, and some rap and hip-hop in it. But 1989 is a full-out pop album, and I don't think this type of direction is all that good for her. And then again, I think it was this song and the whole Kimye thing that launched her to do more dark pop like Look What You Made Me Do. I probably could have put this in the meh tier, and spoilers, it's next, but I just don't like this, it's easily one of the weaker tracks off of 1989. But at least it's not the worst off 1989 though.
