My top 10 worst songs of 2024

Hello everyone, it's that time of year again, time for me to do my top 10 worst songs of 2024 list. This will follow the same format as when I did this last year, this has no criteria, but it will mostly be ballads, Taylor Swift songs, or songs I really found annoying. Add an additional category, pro Trump songs. Let's just get into it.

10. Charlotte Sands- Can We Start Over

So at the beginning of 2023, she sort of redeemed herself with Alright, but this song is just not for me. It's a bit slow and seems like it belongs in a super tall church in a Disney Princess movie. And that last statement is not a compliment. And the fact that I had to hear this every week for 11 weeks didn't help.

9. Gracie Abrams/ Taylor Swift- Us

I never listened to the entirety of The Secret Of Us, and if this song is any indication, I'd be better off not, especially with how generic the other songs from that album were (except for I Love You I'm Sorry, which I still find pretty good). So she got Taylor Swift on this song (Us) after being an opening act on the Eras Tour, which finally ended, thank god. So yeah, But it's not really the fact that this collab exists that bothers me, there is minimal production here until the bridge, and the key is not enough to save the song from any flaws I have listed. So yeah, unnecessary collab, terrible song.

8. Luke Hemmings- Shakes

Basically, this song is quite generic and slow, and he sounded better on an actually interesting song he did with Galantis, David Guetta, and his 5SOS bandmates from the week before he did this. And as a side note, he honestly doesn't sound a whole lot like himself here.

7. Artemas- I Like The Way You Kiss Me

Another artist I had a rough first impression of. The beat here does not work with his voice here and his voice is already questionable to begin with. I actually found this a little bit tolerable at first but it got annoying the more I had to hear it. At least his latest collaboration with Nessa Barrett is surprisingly a little bit tolerable.

6. Mitski- My Love Mine All Mine

Random question, does anyone else still remember this extra slow trainwreck from the beginning of this year that thankfully spent only one week on the countdown? I don't blame you if not. So yeah, this still feels like a jazz ballad that feels extremely out of place for 2024, and Mitski sounds like a not good at all cross between Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and Dove Cameron. So yeah, I hope it is a long time before I have to talk about Mitski again.

5. Sabrina Carpenter- Please Please Please

Well, Sabrina Carpenter got off really easy by having only one entry on this list. We overrated the living shit out of her all year so basically I'm tired of all Short And Sweet song, but this one is easily a standout worst. The main reason is that the second verse is in a completely different key than the rest of the song, and I think that was completely unnecessary. Oh, and did I mention this got more and more annoying the longer I was forced to listen to this on the countdown? So yeah, fuck this, and her older music, like Thumbs and Looking At Me, is a lot better.

4. Taylor Swift- I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

...and this is still on the Hits 1 countdown as of when I'm writing this, when it debuted at the beginning of May 2024. It's been on the countdown for seven months now and it somehow jumped five spots to #8 this past weekend. And aside from that, the flaws of this song include the production being a rather mysterious synthpop beat that does not go well with her voice, and I'm not a fan of the lyrics here. So after this year, I may need an indefinite break from Taylor Swift, and I still have one more song from her to talk about on this damn list.

3. Halsey- The End

This one takes the cake as the single most boring song on the list. I get that this is supposed to be about the health battles that Halsey had before dropping this song, but this was not executed well at all. There is almost no production here, with the only thing she's singing along to being an acoustic guitar riff, if you even call that shit "production." I would have been better off had I never heard this snoozefest in my entire life.

2. Taylor Swift/ Post Malone- Fortnight

Ah yes, the infamous lead off single to Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department album. Yeah, this is still as bad as ever. This still doesn't work for the same reasons it previously didn't. Yes, it seems like more of a Reputation Taylor's Version vault track, and feels so unbearably slow, apparently, that's what the rest of the fucking album is, so don't even bother counting me in with fucking anything having to do with this. Anyways, I'm not entirely sure what the fucking point of crediting Post Malone when he doesn't even sing a shit ton, mainly just fucking backing vocals. I was really expecting better from him after that quite underwhelming album Austin from last year, and him featuring on a Taylor Swift song is always a complete WTF moment. Thankfully, he put out F1Trillion later in the year, and that was a really good album with two entries on my best list. More on that when I do my best list. But for now, I'm quite relieved that Fortnight never hit #1.

Before I reveal my least favorite song of 2024, I'm going to go over some dishonorable mentions:

Addison Rae- Diet Pepsi

The key change down a half step at the end brings this down for me a lot

RM- Come Back To Me

With RM being a rapper in BTS, the slow tempo doesn't work at all.

Djo- End Of Beginning

Slow and overplayed.

Jelly Roll/ Lainey Wilson- Save Me

The only reason this isn't on the main list is because of Somebody Save Me by Eminem, which samples this.

Charli XCX- 360

Charli XCX also got off easy given how much I didn't get the appeal to Brat.

Sza- Saturn

Feels just like most of her SOS album from last year.

Sabrina Carpenter- Espresso

:overplayedsongssuck:

Now, I'm sure a lot of you that have read my previous worst lists were surprised to see that Fortnight wasn't #1. Well, I have a reason for that. It's because Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris during the election, unlike anyone involved in this next song:

1. Fivio Foreign/ Kodak Black/ Donald Trump- Onboa47rd

Well... I knew from the moment I saw that this actually existed that it would be my least favorite song of this year. I mentioned in last year's worst list when I said that Try That In A Small Town by Jason Aldean and Rich Men North Of Richmond by Oliver Anthony Music were dishonorable mentions that I don't like pro Trump music. So it's bad enough that Fivio Foreign and Kodak Black are Trump supporters, but the fact that they collaborated on this and credited Trump as a co-lead artist is so insanely outrageous. I also question why the fuck they credited Trump as a co-lead artist in the first fucking place since he doesn't even rap on here at all, but rather a couple speeches of his that were sampled on this song. And then we get to the actual song... beat's not bad and both rappers sound fine, it's the lyrics are absolutely atrocious as they spend the whole song believing every lie that Trump has ever told, most notably from Kodak Black. At least him supporting Trump makes a little bit of sense given that Trump pardoned him in January 2021. But still, this doesn't deserve to exist, and because it does and Trump ended up winning the election, I would like to state that I will be permanently boycotting Fivio Foreign's music and Kodak Black's music and will be revoking Kodak Black's appearances on my best list from last year (if you're new here or forgot, those were Wasted with Diplo and Koe Wetzel at #24 and Angel Part 1 with Jimin, Jvke, Muni Long, and NLE Choppa at #3). So yeah, fuck this song, and Fivio Foreign and Kodak Black, fuck both of you for even making it.

And that concludes my worst list of 2024, see you guys later this week for my regularly scheduled countdown post.
