Mellope's top ten WORST songs of 2024

TOP 10 WORST SONGS OF 2024

Tw: Involves some sensitive topics, but I have tried to keep this as appropriate as possible when talking about them.

It's that time of the year when my lists come out! This year had a massive dish out of rubbish music, and it can't even be covered in a single top 10! Despite that, here are the top 10 worst songs of the year that you should avoid at all costs.

10TH PLACE - A** On Da Bus - Hitkidd/DaBaby

Off-topic from Hitkidd, what a career fall-off this is for DaBaby, and Hitkidd, as the main artist, should know better than to get a children's song with voices that sound like they were modified to sound like children, saying, "A** on the bus go round, round, round." Modern-day rap c**p has really affected our brains like parasites because this is no exception to the brain rot. Seeing the album cover and the title reading 'Hitkidd For President,' I can tell this album is far from good. Seeing how America is going so far, I'm sure a lot of people would vote Hitkidd for president.

9TH PLACE - ICE CREAM RMX - Lil Godd

Wow, making jokes about dg a* (only in the music video) and blasphemy 🙄 Of course, when you're this bad at rapping, you gotta stir up some controversy. Half of me is convinced that this is a joke song due to how bad it is, but I feel someone actually tried at this... either way, this is screaming disguised as rap, and apparently, this portrays the struggles of being a dg a*** and that he needs to do m***, and he's close to d****. This is far from an emotional song and one that makes fun of serious, dark times... I'm shocked that this is at #9.

8TH PLACE - The Spark - Kabin Crew

This song somehow went massively viral this year and got praised... multiple asylum-seeker children come together to apparently "rap about their creativity," according to Wikipedia. They don't get a pass because they're kids; this is still a whiny song that couldn't even make a kids' bop album. I'm not going to go into the real production elements (it's bad) because they're kids, but I will safely say that this is ear-splitting to the ears and should have never been taken seriously as a song. I went light on them because they're kids, but seriously, just delete this.

7TH PLACE - Karma - Jojo Siwa

I had to hold up the comments section to hide the music video because it's so cringe... 20-year-old (now 21) Jojo Siwa sings in a mysterious tone about how she was a wild child and that they always knew it before getting on top of another girl in a questionable way in the music video. Jojo Siwa found fame as a child dancer who sold bows in Walmart and dressed in all pink before starting her gay bad girl era, which gave her TikTok success once again... aaaaand it's dg cp. The lyrics remind me of if she was told in class, "Jojo, write a mysterious story for a presentation," and the lyrics try to be dark but are like a child who can't fully swear, so they use lighter words to emphasise their emotions. Judging by the production and her recent AI covers, it's safe to say that Jojo is tight on money when it comes to her music; either that or she's saving up for Christmas.

6TH PLACE - Women's World - Katy Perry

Written and produced by men, one accused of being a r****t, 'Women's World' is supposed to be a strong stand-up anthem for women, as the music video shows women in bikinis, se*ualised, and transgender women (FTM), causing backlash. I'm really not surprised this flopped because it really showcases that Katy doesn't know how to make a track for its purpose. This is feminism, folks. I can't believe someone actually wrote all this down and thought it would be good for a music video... Seeing it's from the same woman who wore an upside-down red cross on her at a performance, we already know she's delusional or an attention seeker, but this crosses new territory with its glitchy sound and mainstream pop garbage.

5TH PLACE - A-Town Girl - Usher/Latto

This sounds like a song that would be sung at a kid's Christian choir if it was completely clean. I can't even compare this beat... it's worse than industry pop... worse than most rap c**p... worse than 'Baby Shark' and 'Barbie Girl.' It's cringey and a song that should definitely not be track 3 on an album or even on an album. The autotune is painfully clear, and Latto's rapping takes away even more from the song... I can't believe this is actually a real R&B song.

4TH PLACE - I Choose V**lence - Jax

Singer Jax, who is known for songs such as 'Hk Tuah,' 'Barbara, Your Husband Is Gay,' and 'Estein Didn't K*** H******' comes back to talk about the fact that bears are apparently much safer than men. She uses "words" such as "cleverer" in the song (That's not even a word). As much as this small-brained individual claims they're trying to make a positive change, every time she gets one piece of criticism after saying the dumbest thing, she rushes to TikTok and records herself crying about how hurt she is. For people who aren't familiar, the "Would you rather pick a man or bear?" trend comes from women saying that men are unpredictable and always a lot more horrible than women. They often compare this to stories about women who have had stuff happen to them, and they say, "It's not all men, but always men," often garnering hundreds and thousands of likes. [i'm describing it in the most family-friendly way I can.] The point is, everyone doing that trend is a delusional person who needs to get their head checked, and Jax is one of them. It's also a poorly written and ragebait track (at least I hope it's bait).

3RD PLACE - HAHAHA - Lil Dicky

With the American rapper and comedian who mocks Jesus, takes his clothes off, and creates poor music just for an attempt at a viral moment, I wasn't expecting anything better, and I was right! This is TERRIBLE. He can't write, produce, or have flavour, and apparently, the music video for this cost $1 million... wow, what a waste of money! He's like drill music but somehow more simplified... he can't even have a steady rhythm, and this showcases on his whole 'Penith' album. This is so bad it has to be a joke because I can't believe he's still going from 2015. He's a clout chaser and a crazy man.

2ND PLACE - Jail (Part 1) - Lil Dicky

PART 1?! DON'T TELL ME WE'RE GONNA GET A PART 2 OF THIS 😭 Yeah... my ears and eyes need bleaching out after this!!! ASAP. The story of the song is that he shows indecent exposure to an all-age group and ends up in jail, to which—let's just stop it there; it's too bad to mention here. Even if this is comedic, it's not funny at all and frankly just weird. This is a zero-talent song and will always be! There's no need to dive more into the same drill rubbish like 'HAHAHA.'

Before we get to number 1, let's look at...

The Whole Kim Petras Album... Whatever That Was

Now time for...

1ST PLACE - Let's Go - Jaden Bosjen/David Guetta

Previous first listen:

This song swears so many times it's like modern-day rap. They picked the most bland, generic beat and the most annoying voices. Randomly stopping the song for a cutscene where a woman is emotionally complaining about the nightclub she's going to doesn't help either. David's career is a joke, and he doesn't deserve the title of #1 French artist in any way. Be ashamed—this is actually one of the worst things I've heard in a while! I don't get how you can mess a song up this bad. I'm dead serious. This will be featured in my worst songs of 2024, and it will contend for #1. [WORST OF THE WEEK]

Added:

With lyrics such as "I really have to get in and take a ps" and "Who the fk is Jared?" This song, as explained, is a sweary dance song that can't even be enjoyed due to the long cut scenes and the beat that sounds as rubbish as a new starting-out artist. As explained, this could be the worst thing I've EVER heard, so I don't need to rant again, but I can't believe some stations are actually speaking about this as if it's the hottest thing in Ibiza. This is so awful that it feels like my brain is burning after a listen, and David tries to be so professional as the most popular French artist.
