It's getting close to that time again where year-end lists start coming out! As we approach year's end, what are the worst songs of 2022 in your opinion? For me: 9. "Imaginary Friends" by Voila & Hey Violet - Hey Violet seems to get a lot of hate and I generally have liked what they've put out in recent years. However, this is awful. Whatever weird autotune affect Voila did to their voices sounds so grainy that I actually thought there was something wrong with my headphones the first time I listened to it lol. Rena's voice sounds really whiney in the chorus, so this is a no from me. 8. "10 Things I Hate About You" by Leah Kate - this is kinda just overly petty, and does not do a good job reimagining the concept of "7 Things" by Miley Cyrus. 7. "Life Goes On" by Oliver Tree - This song honestly just feels like he's trolling to me lol. The whole chorus being him repeating "on and on and on and on" over and over is extremely annoying. 6. "Grand" by Kane Brown - I don't get the appeal of this. This seems self-gratifying and quite lazy by Kane's standards. I have heard a lot of people say that they love this song because it's awesome Kane created a pop song, but...he has two much better pop songs already, "Memory," and especially "Be Like That." Even that song he created for the Scooby-Doo soundtrack is way better than this lol. 5. "Super Freaky Girl" by Nicki Minaj - I know this is a super unpopular opinion, but I genuinely don't know what people see in this song, other than maybe the sample. Nicki's delivery is just so annoying in every way, and her spelling "freak" in the chorus is so grating it's nearly unlistenable. 4. "Die First" by Nessa Barrett - I commented about this in the 2021 Pop Radio rankdown, and I feel bad for kinda railing against anything this girl puts out, but all her songs just seem gross and toxic to me. In this song, she sings about begging to die before her mother, because she never wants to deal with the pain of losing a parent. That's a very emotional sentiment, but...why go down this intensely dark rabbit hole for no reason, when her mom's not even sick or anywhere close to the age of dying? Like there's just no reason to go to all these dark hypotheticals of "what if someone steals my identity and kills my dog on the same day I'm kidnapped for ransom?" just for the sake of being "edgy." I enjoy songs that have a dark tone, but there is a difference between being dark/edgy and toxic, and Nessa pushes towards the latter yet again with this song. 3. "All the Things I Hate About You" by Huddy - at a time where we have a lot of breakup songs like Olivia Rodrigo ( Sour) and Gayle ("Abcdefu"), this one just comes off as petty and whiney. If that isn't bad enough, the lyrics are just awfully written and stupid, particularly "You a show stopper, homie hopper!" and "You coulda had a rockstar, but you chose up on a bum-star!" This whole song just sounds like Huddy saying elementary school level insults to his ex lol. 2. Mary Go Round by Big Daddy Swolls - While this song is terrible, it falls into the "so bad it's hilarious" category to me. The song is a pun on "merry go round" in which he's asking a stripper named Mary to "go round" for him. I honestly don't even know what else to say because this song is just such a "WTF?" moment in every way, so if the title intrigues you enough, just give it a listen for yourself lol. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvoPZFbalG8 I also like that he replies to every YouTube comment he gets lol. 1. Sleazy Flow by Sleazyworld Go feat. Lil Baby - Even the first few seconds of the song already set it up to be awful, as Sleazyworld Go says "Alright, everybody put their Glocks in the air" in the most apathetic voice ever. Sleazy's delivery sounds like he couldn't possibly give less of a sh it about this song. His ability to rhyme is genuinely so terrible that at one point, he rhymes "dumb as hell" with "drunk as hell." We thankfully get a brief reprieve from Sleazyworld with Lil Baby's verse, but even that is just kinda generic and lifeless. After a short verse from Lil Baby, we then go back to listening to Sleazyworld rap as if he's just watched paint dry for the past five hours. The song then just randomly ends in a jarring way. I know he's freestyling, but the least he could do is not make it sound like he's run out of things to say, which is exactly how it sounds here. This whole song is just a f**king disaster. I can't believe this made #1 on Urban.

The top 3 I haven't heard (or had so little impact on me I can't remember them). Agreed with #4 and #8. I don't mind 5-7.

Here are my top 10 worst hit songs of 2022. I’m basing eligibility for this list on the projected US Year-End Hot 100, plus the projected 16 biggest hits that will make the Canadian Hot 100 but not the US, so long as they charted on the US Hot 100 as well (excluding Unholy and I’m Good because they’ll make the 2023 US YE).
10. “Hold Me Closer” - Elton John & Britney Spears 9. “Trouble With A Heartbreak” - Jason Aldean 8. “Fingers Crossed” - Lauren Spencer-Smith 7. “Take My Name” - Parmalee 6. “Enemy” - Imagine Dragons & JID 5. “One Right Now” - Post Malone & The Weeknd 4. “Super Gremlin” - Kodak Black 3. “You Proof” - Morgan Wallen 2. “Broadway Girls” - Lil Durk ft. Morgan Wallen 1. “She Likes It” - Russell Dickerson ft. Jake Scott
Dishonorable Mentions: “Light Switch” - Charlie Puth “AA” - Walker Hayes “I Like You (A Happier Song)” - Post Malone & Doja Cat “abcdefu” - GAYLE “I Ain’t Worried” - OneRepublic “Party” - Bad Bunny & Rauw Alejandro “Hold My Hand” - Lady Gaga “Sweetest Pie” - Megan Thee Stallion & Dua Lipa

There was a dance/pop song that came out a few months ago that borrowed the melody of Stevie Wonder’s “I just called to say I love you” by replacing “love” with “hate” and I don’t think a sample or lyric rubbed me the wrong way like that before. Not only is it lazy, but this whole slew of “i hate you”/“fuck you” songs in the TikTok era are all so awful and offensively lazy and bland, but that one was the pinnacle of it all for me, so I’m choosing that.

The horrific 9 to 5 remake by Kelly Clarkson and Dolly Parton is the worst song of ’22. They managed to completely suck all the fun-ergy from the original.
Smoking Weed Online by Tegan and Sara is a runner-up for worst.

Well, I just listened to Tukoh Taka, and I can definitely say that if any song belongs here, it's this.

I'll admit, i'm surprised by how few songs i actually hated this year. Granted what i listened to was mostly charting songs, stuff on the radio i'll forget immediately, or old albums/songs from past years. But even if i disliked some songs this year, it didn't really blow into outright hatred (the only song that came close to doing that this year was Unholy, and even then my opinion on that one has switched from terrible to simultaneously bad and a guilty pleasure). To the point where i, doubt i'm gonna be making a worst hit songs of 2022 list.

10. “Hold Me Closer” - Elton John & Britney Spears 4. “Super Gremlin” - Kodak Black 2. “Broadway Girls” - Lil Durk ft. Morgan Wallen I'll admit, while I did dislike #10 a lot on first listen, it's grown on me a little bit. Don't get me wrong, it's still feels like a pale imitation of the original, but I guess at least the production is upbeat and pleasant. It doesn't actively annoy me anymore; it's just kind of there. I forgot about "Super Gremlin" and "Broadway Girls," but those definitely would have made my list. Morgan's voice is absolutely insufferable in the chorus.

My #10 was actually kind of up for grabs between that, AA and Light Switch, but I think what ultimately sealed it for me was that I am just so sick and tired of lazy sampling on hit songs in 2022 (my theory is that songwriters are becoming increasingly afraid of getting sued for accidentally copying a melody, so this is the next best thing for them), and that it's the inferior sequel to a song that wasn't that great to begin with.

I’m gonna have to really think about my top 10 worst songs of 2022 because I prefer to avoid/not think about songs I don’t like but my #1 least favorite song is pretty obvious: ABCDEFU. I hated this song on first listen and never got into it any other time I heard it. I’m baffled at the fact that it’s nominated for a Grammy.

Of all the songs, To The Moon really as the worst song??? big2000 dang you won’t be very happy to see how high I ranked it in 2022 rankdown, and then I’ll be disappointed at your rank too when I see it. :(

To the Moon is the one song I couldn’t find any high points about. It’s utterly worthless imo. I do look forward to seeing where it ranks in the YE RD, since there does appear to be some people who like it.

I mean for me the high points is the sample, and the nice cool chill beat, and the eerie sound, I mean I won’t be surprised if it ends up with a high SD.

Even though it's one of my favorite songs of the year now, I admittedly didn't like it very much on first listen due to how simplistic it sounded. The sample and eerie sound is what made it grow on me in the long run, but it took many listens so I can understand why someone might not enjoy it.

Oh yeah I forgot this. I'm not gonna rank them, just list my least favorites from the YE Hot 100
-The Christmas songs becuase they DON'T BELONG HERE! 97. To The Moon! - barely a song 57. Hrs & Hrs - I could yawn for hours & hours & hours 48. Pushin P 11. Wait For U 9. Super Gremlin - the opening is the only good part and it's a sample
there's plenty of songs I haven't even heard outside of their snippets on countdown videos. Some songs I don't like I can recognize it's just my music preference. These ^ however are the songs I'd say are objectively bad/boring

Worst songs of 2022 Elton John/Britney Spears-Hold Me Closer Camila Cabello/Ed Sheeran-Bam Bam Black Eyed Peas/Shakira/David Guetta- Don't You Worry Nicky Youre/Dazy-Sunroof Jennifer Lopez-On My Way(Marry Me) Charli XCX/Rina Sawayama-Beg For You Kim Petras-Coconuts Post Malone/Mark Morrison/Sickick-Return Of The Mack Gayle/Blackbear-fmk Um, excuse you. Coconuts is a classic and a lyrical tour-de-force. I go agree that "Beg for You" is the most watered-down, anodyne, transparent sellout garbage that either Charli or Rina have ever produced. And it's not like it was a smash or anything, so it really just left me scratching my head and going, "Why?" Imagine blanding up your sound for the radio but getting no big bag for your troubles. Couldn't be me!
