Top 15 Worst Hit Songs Of 2020

 I’ll just get this out of the way now since I’m gonna bring it up later on, 2020 has been a terrible year for everyone. I would say everything also but the music this year has been pretty great. We’re here to cover the worst of the year though, and oh boy the lows are bad. Well let’s get into the list with 

#15. 

Even before this became big I hated it. Then it got promoted and pushed at the very worst time possible. Florida Georgia Line fuck you. 

15. I Love My Country by Florida Georgia Line 

Now I know FGL didn’t intend this to be “I love America” as it makes references to the genre in the song, so I won’t talk about that. Let’s talk about how obnoxious this sounds. Both members of FGL sound awful and the instrumental, specifically the guitars and banjos sound like nails on a chalkboard. Then they pull a This Is How We Roll and try to rap in the 2nd verse and fucking hell that might just be the worst part of the song. The lyrics don’t help here being generic bro country you’ve heard hundreds of times. The song itself is shit and fuck you to anyone who decided to promote this. 

#14. 

2020 has been a pretty huge year for certain artists such as the late Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke, but I don’t think anyone has had a more interesting but mediocre 2020 than Justin Bieber. Throughout the year he’s had embarrassment after embarrassment such as Intentions, Holy and his comeback single... 

Yummy 

14. Yummy by Justin Bieber 

I’m gonna get this one out of the way quickly by just saying it’s called Yummy. It’s a boringly bad pop song outside of the line “You got that yummy yum”. I THOUGHT WE LET COMPARING SEX TO FOOD DIE IN 2010 WHAT THE FUCK AMERICA. Also there’s lines such as “50/50 love the way you split it”, “Rolling eyes back in my head make my toes curl”, and “You’re incriminated, no disguise and you ain’t never running low on supplies” Terrible song and I’m so glad it didn’t hit #1. 

#13. 

In the past 2 years TikTok has taken over the charts and that’s clear with songs like Old Town Road or Say So or Roxanne becoming huge. To be fair, most of these songs have been decent at worst and fantastic at best. Now what happens when you let adults on TikTok who can’t sing at all get hits? You get Trevor Daniel. 

13. Falling by Trevor Daniel 

The lyrics and production don’t matter here let’s talk about the elephant in the room, Trevor Daniel sounds fucking abysmal. He might sound fine over an emo rock song or something but over a love song? He doesn’t fit at all. It makes the entire song awful and throughout the year this has gotten worse and worse on each listen. Past Life deserved to be a hit over this. 

#12. 

This one is gonna get a bit more heavy to say the least. Let’s get this over with. 

12. Suicidal (Remix) by YNW Melly (feat. Juice WRLD) 

The original Suicidal by YNW Melly is an unpleasant and shit song but it wouldn’t have made this list, it would’ve been a DHM that barely missed. Then there’s the Juice WRLD remix. This song is not on here because of it being released after Juice’s death, the song got leaked before he died and it was worked on by him. It’s on here because his verse makes the song unnecessarily depressing and sets off the entire tone of the song, not to mention he sounds awful. His verse and the entire song are basic emo shit lyrically but Suicidal is on here because of the sound. This song is genuinely off putting and depressing and I can’t stand how it sounds. Juice, you can do better. 

#11. 

we let ajr get a top 40 hit. 

We let AJR get a top 40 hit. 

WE LET AJR GET A T- 

11. Bang! by AJR 

The first thing you’ll notice about this song is it sounds like literal hell. The piano keys, the horns, the main vocals, those fucking background vocals. And then there’s the chorus. This might just be the most insufferable chorus of the year in a year with fucking Ice Cream and YAYA. Also the lyrics don’t help at all. “Pretend you know this song everybody” god I just don’t get AJR fans. Since it already cracked the top 40 for some reason, all I can hope is that this doesn’t crack the top 10. (oh wait, what?, oh fucking hell.) I just got word Bang! is at #9 on radio at the moment and now I wanna fucking die. 

#10. 

One of the biggest new genres currently popular is Reggaeton, which is a mix of dancehall and trap production. As anyone with ears knows, it sucks. Some of the stars in this genre such as Ozuna or Bad Bunny have seen real chart success. The problem is their terrible. 

10. Vete & Yo Perreo Sola (tie) by Bad Bunny 

So why am I tying these? 2 reasons 

1. They are both reggaeton songs by Bad Bunny 

2. They are both insufferable pieces of shit I hate about the same amount 

Let’s look at Vete first 

Simple reggaeton beat, generic sound, OH GOD WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKE THAT. The autotune on Vete is painful and it ruins the entire song. 

Now Yo Perreo Sola 

This one is more interestingly bad, generic sound still but Bad Bunny doesn’t sound awful, the problem is the female vocalist and that drop that sounds like it’s choking. 

In all, both of these songs suck ass and I never want to hear them again. 

#9. 

Soundtracks have always been a big part of popular music, and for a lot of soundtracks there’s one song made by a big pop artist to promote the movie. There’s some cases where this doesn’t happen of course, sometimes soundtracks are specifically for the movie. 

And then there’s Frozen. 

Frozen has always been an interesting one, not being that standout but being huge. This definitely isn’t a good thing considering I hate Frozen but you can’t have everything g- Frozen 2 sucks ass. 

9. Into The Unknown by Idina Menzel & AURORA 

Let’s list off everything obnoxious about this song cause I’m not in the mood to explain fucking frozen. 

- That annoying screech in the background that runs throughout most of the song 

- The same cheesiness on the original Frozen soundtrack 

- The chorus 

- Idina Menzel sucks 

Alright we are done! See y’all next time when I rant about Frozen 3 

#8. 

Country music is a genre I’m not a huge fan of, but I like some stuff in it. And in 2020 we saw a resurgence of female stars which is a great sign. Old faces such as Carrie Underwood or Miranda Lambert, and new faces like Maren Morris or Kelsea Ballerini. And newest of them, Gabby Barrett 

8. I Hope by Gabby Barrett 

I’m not one to bring personal lives into music unless the IRL stuff is directly mentioned, so let’s not mention the Make America Gabby Again stuff yet. This is a revenge fantasy that takes after Before He Cheats, but I don’t fully agree. This song is more like Never Again by Kelly Clarkson, where it’s sad and bitter, but unlike Never Again never really gets to it’s full potential. Both Before He Cheats and Never Again show their anger clearly, while I Hope holds back. Even then I think this song is decent enough, nothing special but decent. Now you ask, why is it here if you like it? Well you see here my keyboard broke and I need to go fix it be right back. 

And I’m Ba- 8. I Hope (Remix) by Gabby Barrett (feat. Charlie Puth) 

Well uh, this ruined the entire song. When you make the song a duet instead of a solo revenge fantasy the entire concept is ruined. Especially when the duet does nothing to improve the original concept or song itself. I mean in 2020 you can only take a perfectly decent revenge fantasy and make it one of the worst duets of all time if you’re Charlie fucking Puth I guess. Oh and he sounds awful over it too, seriously what happened to his voice between 2018 and now holy shit. That doesn’t even sound like autotune it just sounds like he can’t sing. Also the line “I hope he spends his last dime to put a rock on your hand” proves he doesn’t give a shit about this remix. The original line made the cheater lose, while this makes the cheater gain? Yeah that doesn’t make sense at all. This is the worst remix of 2020, and one of the worst songs of 2020. 

(oh yeah did you know she’s a trump supporter, yeah that should explain my pick well enough in 1 sentence) 

#7. 

You know Some Cut by Trillville? Yeah I kinda like it honestly, it’s decent enough. Now what happens if it was terrible and had no energy at all? 

7. Best On Earth by Russ (feat. Bia) 

Well this is annoying. Both Russ and Bia are terrible on this and why has a bed squeaking noise become a reoccurring trend why why why. The lyrics are generic sex lyricism with no unique lyrics or good punchlines. The production is the only tolerable part of this aside from the bed squeak and even that’s mediocre at best. Russ will never be good and Bia will hopefully stay a 1 hit wonder if her music is anything like this. 

#6. 

no 

6. Ice Cream by BLACKPINK & Selena Gomez

So remember when I mentioned Ice Cream in the Bang segment? Well the chorus isn’t even a top 20 worst moment in this and it’s a fucking trainwreck. And since I refuse to try and figure out why this song sounds like hell I’m WatchMojo and we’re counting down 

The Top 10 Worst Lyrics In Ice Cream 

10. “You could take a lick but it’s too cold to bite me” 

9. “Come a little closer cause you looking thirsty, I’ma make it better sip it like a slurpee” 

8. “You’re the only touch yeah they get me melting, He’s my favorite flavor always gotta pick him” 

7. “Mona Lisa kinda Lisa needs an ice cream man that treats her” 

6. “Diamonds on my wrist so he call me ice cream, you can double dip cause I know you like me” 

5. “But I’m sweet for you come put me in a cone” 

4. “You’re the cherry piece just stay on top of me” 

3. “Get it flip it scoop it do it like that ahyeahahyeah like it love it lick it do it like lalalaohyeah” 

2. “Catch me in the fridge right where the ice be” 

1. “And I’m nice with the cream if you know what I mean” 

HM: “Get the bag with the cream if you know what I mean” 

This is WatchMojo and I hope you enjoyed our list just as much as we enjoyed making it! (fuck this song) 

#5. 

5. TROLLZ by 6ix9ine & Nicki Minaj 

This song is not here because of the song itself, it’s here because of the stuff surrounding it. 6ix9ine got out of jail early and started making music again and made Trollz which debuted at #1 cause of the barbz and spent 4 weeks on the hot 100. It’s the most inorganic #1 hit of all time and it definitely should not have hit #1 nor should have been made. This song is the type of shit that made chart watching in 2020 miserable and I blame the barbz for why the charts are so easily manipulated now. Fuck 6ix9ine. 

#4. 

I like Ariana Grande, I think she’s a pretty great vocalist with a good discography. I don’t like Justin Bieber, I think he’s a pretty bad vocalist with a bad discography. The bad outweighed the good here. 

4. Stuck With U by Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber 

I originally liked this song, I think the vocals are solid and the instrumental is fine. Then I read the lyrics. Let’s go through all the Fuck You moments in this song. 

“That’s why when the sun’s up, I’m staying” fuck you 

“Got all this time on our hands, might as well cancel our plans” fuck you 

“It’s just you and me, and there’s nothing I, nothing I, I can’t do, I’m stuck with you” fuck you 

“There’s nowhere we need to be” fuck you 

“So go ahead and drive me insane baby run your mouth I still wouldn’t trade being stuck with you” fuck you 

“I could stay here for a lifetime” fuck you 

“I’ma get to know you better kinda hope we’re here forever” fuck you 

“If you told me that the world’s ending ain’t no other way that I can spend it” finally, fuck you 

I’m WatchM- wait i already made that joke, ok just transition to #3 

#3. 

You remember Girl Crush? That song about jealousy that was lesbian bait. Now what happens if you reverse the gender of the singer, make the song folk pop and make it the most boring shit possible. 

3. Heather by Conan Gray  

Sure this is a boring ass folk song that’s a slog to get through but who cares let’s see these lyrics. This is a song where Conan’s crush is seeing a girl named Heather and he wishes he could be Heather and that she was dead so he could be with his crush. FUCK YOU. This song is what happens when you combine a steal your partner song with jealousy and bottom of the barrel lyrics. Awful song and I’m glad this garbage died quickly instead of becoming a radio hit. 

 #2. 
Bashar Barakah Jackson also known as Pop Smoke sadly passed away February 19, 2020. I won’t act like I knew much from him or was a fan before he died, but his music grew on me a lot after his death when I checked out his posthumous debut album, Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. Now since this is a hits list, what did I think of the hits off it? I love Got It On Me and The Woo and also like For The Night and Dior. What You Know Bout Love I’m not a huge fan of but it’s fine. That leaves 1, and that 1 is... 
2. Mood Swings by Pop Smoke (feat. Lil Tjay) 
This song has soured on me so much throughout the year I can’t even explain. I can explain why I dislike it though. Mood Swings is the 2020s Love Me by Lil Wayne, a song with abysmal lyrics but good sound, right? Well I do like how Love Me sounds but Mood Swings just creeps me out so much. The production is this music box that’s fine on it’s own but paired with the lyrics... oh god. “Everytime I fuck without a rubber, I nutted on her covers, and I kept it undercover, cause I don’t kiss and tell”, “I see the pussy through the panties, she taste like candy”, “Get off your knees you don’t gotta cry to me, I’m your best friend baby you don’t gotta lie”, “I ain’t wanna give you a baby yet so I backed out and nutted on your breasts”, “She said she a virgin, it’s hurting” that’s just the start of it. This song genuinely sets off my fight or flight instincts from how bad it creeps me out and it still couldn’t beat my #1, before we get to that let’s go through some dishonorable mentions. 

Dishonorable Mentions 

I’ll rank these 30-16, or farthest to closest making the list 

DHM1: Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi 
no 

DHM2: Mamacita by The Black Eyed Peas, Ozuna & J. Rey Soul 
Why did we make the black eyed peas relevant again. 

DHM3: One Big Country Song by Locash 
Boringly bad bro country we’ve heard hundreds of times. 

DHM4: I Wish Grandpas Never Died by Riley Green 
Tries to be sweet but just ends up being boring. 

DHM5: Believe It by PARTYNEXTDOOR (feat. Rihanna) 
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 

DHM6: I Love Me by Demi Lovato 
Generic self empowerment anthem that tries to be different but ends up being the abrasive version of Fight Song by Rachel Platten. 

DHM7: Heat by Chris Brown (feat. Gunna) 
Bad Chris Brown trap song with a bad beat. So basically a lot of his recent work. 

DHM8: Jerry Sprunger by Tory Lanez & T-Pain 
I’m Sprung part 2, just a lot worse than I’m Sprung. 

DHM9: Say So Remix by Doja Cat (feat. Nicki Minaj) 
Ruins the original badly also fuck the barbz. 

DHM10: Easy (Remix) by DaniLeigh (feat. Chris Brown) 
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 

DHM11: God Whispered Your Name by Keith Urban 
This song rubs me the wrong way in a lot of different ways. 

DHM12: On Chill by Wale (feat. Jeremih) 
Speaking of rubs me the wrong way. The line “Maybe I can give you chills” is very questionable. 

DHM13: Caramelo by Ozuna 

Ozuna has the voice of a 15 year old hitting puberty. 

DHM14: Got What I Got by Jason Aldean 
The statement “Luke Bryan > Jason Aldean” becomes more true every new Jason Aldean single. God this song is so dickish. 

DHM15: Find My Way by DaBaby 
DaBaby with autotune bad. 

And finally... 
#1. 
This one is gonna get more personal. 2020 has been an extremely hard for me personally, with thing after thing of pure hell. As a teenager, I still have school to worry about plus other things both in real life and online. I know I’m gonna make it through quarantine, we will make it through, but whenever I hear this 1 song it sends me back to a depressed and worried state of mind. And with that being said... 
1. If The World Was Ending by JP Saxe and Julia Michaels. 
This song itself is a boring ballad with 2 singers that sound like Chris Martin on sleep medicine and well, Julia Michaels. But this song is not here because of it’s music or lyrics, it’s here because of context. And to be honest, this song makes me worried about quarantine and covid and the future of the world and everything going on. The title is If The World Was Ending, well it seems like it fucking is. There’s some sense of being ironic there cause of course the 2 singers don’t think the world is gonna actually end right, then it became a huge pop hit while the world was crashing down on all of us. The sound of this is so depressing and generally sad. It doesn’t help that JP Saxe and Julia Michaels are dating which is.. bad to think about. I can’t stand hearing this anymore and I never cared for it in the first place, it just kept on souring on me. If The World Was Ending by JP Saxe & Julia Michaels, the worst hit song of the worst year I’ve been alive for. 
Time to go work on the best list.
