"Ladies and gentlemen: a clusterfuck." - Mark, 2019
And he started it off with a long "welllllll???" Then, when he said that quote, I laughed out loud!
Chris Brown has now topped the last three worst lists Mark has made. Truly an achievement.
Chris Brown has this unique ability to continue having a career despite having no talent.
- Garbage hooks.
- Bad lyrics.
- Underwhelming chorus.
- Detestable personality.
- Unfunny
- Woman beater
- I'd rather listen to Jason Derulo. That's how bad he is.
@@canadiancitizen2732 He can dance his ass off, that's a talent
Might top 4
@@canadiancitizen2732 not Jason Derulo 😱🤢
@@XP9724 Yup, Chris Brown is garbage and a fraction of his songs are serviceable at best... but he's a damn good dancer!
The birthday cake rant is gonna be glorious
Birthday Cake Remix is quite possibly the most appeal-less song I ever heard
I like Rihanna but God...that song is bad
Spoilers for your Worst of 2012 list, I see.
To be fair, is it really a spoiler when pretty much everyone and their mother agrees how shit the song is? The question isn't whether it will be on the list, but how high.
@@cubedmelons876 yeah, it's not really a spoiler when it's that predictable. In fact, I could bet money that Birthday Cake will be Sean's #1.
You know what’s amazing? The comments on Big Sean’s A$$ are all negative, yet Birthday Cake is filled with almost nothing but praise from Chris Brown and Rihanna fans.
Prediction: All the Chris Brown at number 1. All of it.
For as bad as “Want U Back” is just be greatful Swagger Jagger didn’t cross over in the US. One of the most embarrassing songs you will ever here. Gave her a number one single and fathered her states as the “worst thing ever” (Rebeca Black style) in British music for all of 6 mouths before she was mostly forgotten.
yeah Swagger Jagger was godawful, I remember liking Want U Back as a kid because of how much better it was
Ever noticed that "Swagger Jagger" sounds a bit like "Oh, My Darlin' Clementine"?
Yeah, because nothing amps me up like a pop song that reminds me of an old cartoon that used to air own Boomerang.
I honestly think there both as bad as each other every single thing cher lloyd does is dumb as hell SHE AUDITIONED FOR THE X FACTOR WITH A SOULJA BOY SONG AND BECAME A FINALIST WAS SIMON ON MEDS the worst thing is probably her verse on really don't care by demi lavato where she decides to inuslt demi because she went out with a guy who breaked up with her just in case that song wasn't bad enough as it is
Oh trust me we are glad swagger jagger didn’t become a hit in the states lol.
Cher Lloyd is basically stan culture in human form
Her song is the Treat You Better of 2012!
She improved a lot on the second album, but everyone stopped caring at that point. Sirens is underrated.
@AlexFlamer444 She's also what would happen if Best Damn Thing-era Avril Lavigne and Nicki Minaj morphed into one artist
You mean Sherloid
Oh don’t worry, Cher Lloyd’s other songs are FAR FAR worse than Want U Back.
At this point, I feel like all "Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 2012" lists should be renamed "Top 9 2012 Hits Less Bad Than 'Birthday Cake'".
Spectrum Pulse drinking game: take a shot every time Mark says "snapping/clapping percussion" and snaps/claps with the word he says
Or take a shot every time he brings up "self awareness"
I would, but Im aware of the dangers of alcohol poisoning 😂
In 2012 and 2013, Pink and Kelly Clarkson basically became interchangeable.
Also, this list was basically the soundtrack to eating mediocre dining hall food for me.
“And Now I wanna DIE”
-Mark Grondin 2019
Random thoughts in order:
- "Whistle" will now be stuck in my head for a week. That hook is catchy as smallpox (and about as pleasant). Thanks a lot.
- It's been 7 years and I still think about how atrocious "Drive By" is on a regular basis. The lyrics are just so bafflingly terrible they randomly pop into my head about once a week. I've heard songs about chemtrails sung by talentless nobodies on RUclips that made more sense.
- "And this was a slot that was originally going to be filled by Justin Bieber''s 'Boyfriend'." I'd actually forgotten he made a song with that title, so my first reaction was "Hold up, Biebs dated a dude in 2012? I think I would remember that."
- "Electro pop/migraine" *slow clap*
Looking at the 2012 year end just makes me feel sad. Poor Carly Rae Jepson would never have another hit as big and would make so much better music.
And I like Call me Maybe!!!
It’s a modern tragedy that run away with me wasn’t a massive hit
@@pfeltsy9065 It just goes to show you how important the lead single is. I Really Like You charted as high as it did because people were curious how she would follow up Call Me Maybe. The public viewed it as a retread, so they stopped paying attention. Also didn't help that she dropped the album TWO MONTHS LATE so she could "promote it for her Japanese fans" or something.
Dedicated is such a good yet so underrated album omg
Call Me Maybe really shows me everything wrong with popular music. Not because the song itself is all that bad, but because the artists involved have made such better music. Carly Rae Jepsen has become the darling of indie pop, and the songwriter Josh Ramsay is the frontman of one of the best pop bands ever (Marianas Trench). And yet, outside of that song (and Good Time), name one song from either of them that’s gotten popular in the US. Apparently we just wanted to hear the lowest common denominator instead of what either artists are actually capable of.
@@mikerivera373 Dedicated is my favourite pop album of this year. Listened to it so many times. as @pfeltsy said, its a tragedy Run Away With Me wasn't a hit, its perfect in every way.
Birthday Cake is the kind of song that really doesn't have any other competition for being the worst song of a year.
Rack City, it's honestly my least favorite hit of the 21st century. While I despise Birthday Cake's lyrics, it mostly relies on generic cake metaphors to describe sexual acts. Rack City is a lot more descriptive with its subject matter in vomit inducing ways, not to mention Tyga's atrocious flow, creepy delivery, and some of the worst lines i've ever heard in a song
@@ronstoppable5659 Honestly, in terms of quality, only Fefe is close to debatable on being worse than this remix. (Personally, I'd also include Crank Dat and Fight Song, but they honestly *as awful* as those two are.)
It's a rare phenomenon. In years since, we've gotten "UOENO" in 2013 and "Try That in a Small Town" in 2023, but that's about it.
Adam Levine is like plain yogurt that's been expired for ten years and emits a rancid stench. I wish we had left him and Chris Brown back in 2012.
How was Birthday Cake not an instant career killer for both Rihanna and Chris Brown? Same with Love Me for Lil Wayne, Drake and Future the following year.
I really enjoyed Hands All Over, but it underperformed. It's not a coincidence Moves Like Jagger, which was tacked on to the album half a year later, features his cohost from The Voice. I can't fault the man for making pop garbage when selling out when each hit keeps getting bigger and bigger. If you reward bad behavior, you get more of it.
@@gabingston3430 Love me killed Wayne's career wdym
I remember having some of that yogurt in 2007. I mixed it with honey and berries. It was damn good. Really makes me wonder why I didn't just throw the rest out when I had the chance.
If it weren't for the out-of-place music video, I would've never heard of "Payphone."
29:53 I laughed so hard at his description for Birthday Cake! "Electro-pop/migraine"
*insert **_Cher Lloyd grunt_*
@@quentinbringthenumetalchil5125 I like most of the production on Want U Back, but the lyrics and the grunting... yeah, different story, I'll take the Jackson 5.
U N G H
I’m gonna go ahead and say it: Birthday Cake is the worst hit song of the 2010s decade overall.
B-HOP ...yeah
Look At Me came close, but at the end of the day, there can be only one worst, and Birthday Cake Remix is it.
I'm not gonna argue with you on that, nor do I think many people would.
Absolutely, by far.
Best hit of every year of the 2010s:
2010: DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love by Usher ft. Pitbull
2011: Colder Weather by Zac Brown Band
2012: Paradise by Coldplay
2013: Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia ft. John Martin (best hit of the decade)
2014: Pompeii by Bastille
2015: Shut Up And Dance by Walk The Moon
2016: When We Were Young by Adele
2017: Praying by Kesha
2018: Marry Me by Thomas Rhett
2019: God's Country by Blake Shelton (so far)
Alright Mark. You got every year of the decade out of the way except 2011. You gotta gotta gotta do. Can’t leave out the best year of the entire decade.
Bounce that, bounce that-
It's the roundest
You the best, you deserve a crown b----
Right on that DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE
I adore that stupid, stupid song.
Waikikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I don't care what you say. I love the song... 😂😂😂😂😂
Man, what was it with 2012 and fuzzy, mushy production where you can’t tell the guitars from the synths from the bass from the other synths? I never realised how goddamn prevalent it was until now…
"there's an audience for this sort of thing, that enjoys music at its most catty, capricious, and lightly toxic - it's called Nicki Minaj's fanbase"
- Mark, 2019
Ha! Placing "migraine" as one of Birthday Cake's genres was a great touch, just noticed that today
Rack City is my personal #1 just for that Grandma line
Mark doing his running gag made it worth it tho
“Tyga has your grandmother on his dick” - Mark, 2019
@@TheMiels “stealing 🫵YOUR🫵 grandma”
Finally fulfilling your promise in the "Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2016" video
I want to see him do a best and worst of 2011. I wonder what his reaction to Sexy And I Know It will be?
Wow, I can't believe you really just put 10 Minecraft parodies on this list.
We thinking a top 25 worst and best hits of the decade in 2020 ;)
my suggestion would be ranking all his #1 best and worsts of the decade so he could get representation for every year
"Flo Rida pulled a muscle trying to fuck his car." -Mark, 2019
Nice list here's mine
10. "50 Ways to Say Goodbye" by Train
9. "As Long as You Love Me" by Justin Bieber ft. Big Sean
8. "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes
7. "Starships" by Nicki Minaj
6. "Rack City" by Tyga
5. "Want U Back" by Cher Lloyd
4. "Part of Me" by Katy Perry
3. "Drive By" by Train
2. "One More Night" by Maroon 5
1. "Birthday Cake" by Rihanna ft. Chris Brown
What about "Stupid Hoe" by Minaj? That was released in 2012.
Didn't make the year end
Neon Dreamer Peaked at 59 on the charts and too fascinating as an individual entity to hate
What's wrong with Part of Me?
Surprised Dance (A$$) isn't on there
Great video, Mark. But I was pretty sad when you told me that you and a girlfriend of yours broke up in 2012.😢
Yeah artists do hate their first hits....Ariana HATES Put your hearts up
Riah Reviews As an Ariana fan, I personally don’t hate it the way she does, but I get why she would hate it. She thankfully made better music after that song.
The Media Monitor yep
You know what sucks?
I grew up with most of all these songs on the list, and it was NOT A GOOD year for music for me. I hated songs like What doesn’t kill you, Call me maybe, Blow me and Whistle so much it made me wanna slash my throat with a broken cup of glass and wanna commit murder to myself.
But then, I realized that Channel Orange and Good Kid came out that year, and saved my memories
2012 was a good year for music but sure did have its crap like another year I remember fondly from my high school years. *Cough* 2015! *Cough*
Love Is a Four Letter Word is such a dumb album title
Yes, love is a four letter word, but you wanna know what else is?
F**k
T**s
D**k
C**t
C**k
S**t
I only remember Want U Back as that super easy song from Just Dance 4
10. I like the prechorus, but the drop blows, and this is far from the only Early-Mid 2010s EDM track that fits that description.
9. This was the song that taught me how to whistle. Of course, I was too naïve and innocent back then to catch the obvious double entendre, but I can't have anything but nostalgia for this song.
8. That beeping synth... hasn't aged particularly well to say the least.
7. Pink, don't try to hit high notes, you're not Mariah Carey (or at least Mariah in her prime).
6. Guilty pleasure solely due to nostalgia.
5. I don't think this song is that bad. Don't get me wrong, it's not good by any means, just not something I really dislike.
4. I actually like a fair deal of the production (the guitar line in particular, I think you could've built a solid mid-tempo pop rock song out of it), but the lyrics and vocals (UGH)… yeah, different story. When it comes to songs called "Want You Back", I'll take the Jackson 5 any day of the week.
3. I didn't realize how bad the lyrics were when I was 11, so can you please forgive my nostalgia for this song (nostalgia, see a running theme here?).
2. Cheesy WGWAG ballad.
DM1. Nicki Minaj's vocals kind of annoy me.
DM2. This ain't the last of Rihanna we'll see on this list.
DM3. Another song, another burst of nostalgia. Gee, 11 year old me really had a bad taste in music.
DM4. Meh.
DM5. That production sure hasn't aged like fine wine.
DM6. Rack City Bitch Rack Rack City Bitch...
DM7. See DM4.
1. CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE (repeat ad infinitum)… one of the worst songs of the decade. I don't want my pop music to sound like I'm getting a root canal.
I actually like most of this list. It's probably just nostalgia, but I remember lots of these songs fondly despite their flaws.
@@reinhardtwilhelm5415 I unironically like both Whistle and Payphone.
I agree P!nk's career went downhill a bit, but imo Blow Me One Last Kiss is one of her best songs of this decade. I always found the melody phenomenal along with the hook, funny how tastes differ
God, looking back at most of this just gave tween years indigestion...
Flo Rida: the type of guy to pull a muscle trying to f*ck his car.
Guarantees (based on copyright bot spoilers) and my thoughts on them:
We Run the Night (chorus isn't bad, but drop ruins everything)
Whistle (doesn't sound bad, but far from subtle)
Turn Up the Music (horrendous post chorus synths)
Blow Me (One Last Kiss) (yeah, this song has shrunk on me considerably over the past 7 years)
Payphone (started Maroon 5's decline, but I still don't hate this)
Back in Time (great guitar lick, but wrong sample choice, and dubstep)
Want U Back (horrendous, most other years the worst of the year)
Drive By (don't hate this, but I do recognize the stupid lyrics)
I Won't Give Up (kind of boring, but I don't get the extreme hate)
You Da One (kind of annoying, but a masterpiece compared to one other song)
Other songs I expect to be on this list:
Birthday Cake (duh!)
Rack City ("got your grandma on my dick", anyone?)
Ass (again, duh!)
Starships (similar to We Run the Night)
The Motto (culturally damaging, and that one line from Lil Wayne)
Boyfriend (just pitiful...)
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (don't hate as much as others, but a big shift for Taylor Swift)
Opinions while watching the video:
#10. Yeah, the worst part of the song is the post chorus drop...
#9. Yeah, not so subtle at all...
#8. The drop is horrendous.
#7. Well, it did drop from it's high position after all. Still, not that good.
#6. This is where they started going downhill, but I don't hate it.
#5. Good lick, but horrendous dubstep.
#4. What? This low? How?
#3. Yeah, bad lyrics alert.
#2. I've never understood the extreme hate for this song.
DM1: I was expecting Starships, but yeah, annoying...
DM2: Compared to one other hit, this is a masterpiece...
DM3: It has shrunk drastically over the years...
DM4: Okay, wasn't expecting this...
DM5: Not Boyfriend?
DM6: Horrendous.
DM7: Okay, I haven't given this much thought...
#1: Yes, this song is flat out atrocious. The absolute worst of the year...
the tone that you dislike so much in Work Out (see 28:30) is because they bitcrushed the 808
It’s a shame that your “watch and see” thing in the description doesn’t really work when RUclips has decided to reveal to everyone what 10-2 was with that stupid “music in this video” list before you can even start watching it
Most of these songs were hit or miss for me, then and now. The only one I really liked was "Want U Back"
Birthday Cake is probably gonna be #1, haven’t even watched but I just have a feeling it will.
Edit: HA! I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!
Ah the year I first discovered pop music. Rihanna, Gavin Degaw and Katy Perry that year. Ah, SO MUCH NOSTALGIA
I mean talking about Movie-Tie-In songs in a year that had Shallow and (not sure if thats counting, since its just on the soundtrack) Sunflower... Shows the failure of Back In Time even more.
Based on the thumbnail that'll be Birthday Cake, Turn Up The Music / Don't Wake Me Up, Back In Time (possibly International Love) and.... Is the last guy Wiz Khalifa? I know he had Payphone and I think a couple of other songs in 2012.
Judging by the "Finally Famous" shirt, I think that's Big Sean.
@@riddypr Ah good shout. That'll be the disaster that is Dance (A$$) then.
What about "Stupid Hoe"?
Much like 'Deuces' being the worst song of 2010, I saw 'Birthday Cake' coming from a mile away.
Edit: Arguably the worst song of the decade, in my book!
That song was number one on Todd's list and number 2 on Buckley's list!
Of the year yes, of the decade no
Nothings as excruciating, shameless, damaging and insulting as Tunnel Vision
@@TheMiels I'd say Fefe myself.
@@_davgregor 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@TheMiels id have to give Worst Hit of the Decade to Selfie by The Chainsmokers. Although a lot would be just behind it (Gucci Gang, Birthday Cake, Blah Blah Blah, Tunnel Vision, Body Like A Backroad).
12:55
Did Sunflower grow on Mark and it's gonna be on the best of 2019 list?
Jay Romeo that or shallow
@@5196Tpffan I forgot shallow existed tbh yeah it's definitely that song
I remembered liking 2012 for music (guess I felt nostalgic for that year since I graduated from high school). Though I somehow avoided listening to most of the bad stuff (guess I didn't listen to the radio that often).
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Yeah, I Won't Give Up gives me bad memories too.
Why do I feel like blow me one last kiss would work for dua lipa
Yeah I could see it working out for Dua Lipa too.
Because you’re being reminded of Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together going from being no. 7 to being completely off the list, even from the honourable mentions, is the only rectification you needed to make.
damn, this music is a throwback to the hell of working at a Best Buy where the in-store PA would play a constant loop of Now That's What I Call Music discs lmao. The vast majority of these hits were the soundtrack to my work day
I can't help but love Pitbull's enthusiasm. He's like an excited kid that can't stay on topic and keeps going back to his hyperfixations.
I absolutely called these top two..... too bad no one can hear my inner thoughts.
I think you should do a worst of 2004 video
My List:
1. Rack City- Tyga
2. Birthday Cake- Rhianna ft. Chris Brown
3. Want U Back- Cher Lloyd
4. Dance A$$- Big Sean ft. Nicki Minaj
5. 50 Ways To Say Goodbye- Train
6. Whistle- Flo Rida
7. Drive By- Train
8. Back In Time- Pitbull
9. One More Night- Maroon 5
10. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together- Taylor Swift
Dishonorable Mentions:
Starships- Nicki Minaj
Brokenhearted- Karmin
Love You Like A Love Song- Selena Gomez
Boyfriend- Justin Bieber
Don't Wake Me Up- Chris Brown
Stronger- Kelly Clarkson
Blow Me (One Last Kiss)- P!nk
I Won't Give Up- Jason Mraz
Payphone- Maroon 5
Was Stupid Hoe released in 2012?
@Neon Dreamer 2011
@@ronstoppable5659 end of 2011 within 2012's chart year. However, it only peaked at #59, so it was nowhere near making the Year-End.
2012 is my favorite year of hits, period.
Edit: I actually really like that Pink song.
I actually liked half of this list. I hated the DM picks more than some of the picks.
Fun fact. I had only heard the radio version of number 6 on this list which featured travie mccoy as the much more sanatized rapper and guest verse. I had absolutely no idea Wiz Kalifa was the actual guest artist until about 2016 when I stumbled into this song again. Honestly I don't hate it at all though (and kinda like the other two songs mentioned from this group).
As someone who likes Jason Mraz, I Won't Give Up sucks.
Same, it just makes me bored out of my mind... I'm Yours will always be a guilty pleasure of mine though.
I agree with all of this list....except Turn Up The Music by Chris Brown. Probably my favourite song that Chris Brown made and one of my biggest guilty pleasures of the decade!
Also Back In Time is genuinely great fite me!
Ig you’re right on like all these songs lol, but I’m still biased to them, only bc of nostalgia. And I don’t even like pop or hip hop. But I was just starting middle school, and they’re super nostalgic. 🤷♂️😂
Surprised no one puts Chris Brown’s “don’t wake me up” on these lists... almost worse than birthday cake imo. The singing and production is wretched
Lauren “Don’t wake me up” at least has a nice dance beat that you can enjoy out of context
Don’t wake me up is actually the best song of that god awful Fortune album
Signaturefox 2013 I think turn up the music is more of an inoffensive dance song than don’t wake me up... the auto tuned yelping on the chorus is painful and the song has about 4 words total
Don't wake me up is definitely in my top 3 of the worst songs of 2013 (the two others might be by Fall Out Boy) for the grating shouty hook! Not only is this guy a turd , his singing abilities are on par with his personality! Yuck! Fuck Chris Brown!
I know that Birthday Cake is going to be #1 but I honestly think that Rack City is much worse, because while Birthday Cake's lyrics are disgusting, they mostly rely on generic cake metaphors to describe sexual acts. Rack City is a lot more descriptive with its subject matter in vomit inducing ways, in addition to Tyga's atrocious flow, unsettling delivery, and some of the worst lines I've ever heard in a song
In every single worst of 2012 list i have seen Birthday Cake is always number one... and i couldn't agree way more with it
I still like pinks 2010s hits I love raise your glass tbh and even just give me a reason is nice lounge music; in the only one who liked just like fire, what about us, and beautiful trauma
I love all of those songs too
Cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake
But you wanna put your name on it.....
@@gabingston3430 I would more say sounds like Death incarnate coming to get you. Seriously, the only other song that I could genuinely say sounded anywhere close to that description that was popular in recent years was Fefe. Even then, it was more a slow, tedious, yet disgusting sounding kind of death over an over the top, complete blunt force trauma kind if situation that death could bring with that sound, which is arguably even worse by comparison.
He wanna lick the icing off
Not surprising the number one worst song of 2012 Has the distinction of being the only hot hundred song to make the top 40 portion credited to a version not commercially available not available for download on a paid download site. It also was not available for streaming On one of the major streaming services and not commercially available as a single or on an album in any format the only version available was even worse than the version that Mark chose as the worst of the year!! the only version you could get was a meme way under One and a half minutes in total and that’s the version even worse than when Mark mentioned that you find on Rihanna‘s album minus Chris Brown’s vocals.
Want u back gives me a headache ever time I hear it I swear...

@@richarddorazi8565 Thanks
I actually really liked I Won't Give Up... in fact, I listed it as one of my favorite hits of the year at the conclusion of 2012. To be fair, though, I always interpreted it as him trying to maintain a relationship that's hit a bit of a rough spot, rather than him trying to win someone back.
Did you intentionally mistake Sony for Syco on the description for Train's Drive By because it sounds like something you would hear from Syco?
I'm still mad that Drive By was overplayed enough that I knew way too much of the lyrics
What a coincidence . I'm releasing my top 20 worst songs of 2016 list today
This number 1 we will all agree on is most deserving.
My 2012 worst listed based on Australia's year end chart for 2012
10. Payphone by Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa
9. I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift
8. Sitting on top of the World by Delta Goodrem (As a Delta Goodrem fan, this song hurts my ears to listen to. Such a disappointment)
7. Scream & Shout by Britney Spears and Will.i. Am
6. Turn Me On by David Guetta and Nicki Minaj
5. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift
4. Drive By by Train
3, Hall of Fame by The Script feat. Will.I.Am (So...many...cliches)
2,Turn Up the Music by Chris Brown ("Birthday Cake remix" didn't make Australia's charts thank goodness..wish it was the same for this turd though)
1. Bom Bom by Sam and the Womp (Okay, advertising jingles do not need to become hits)
Bom Bom was kinda popular here in Australia for some time, and no one cared about it, until K-Mart decided to use it for their ads for an ungodly amount of time, and now it's basically 'that song used in K-Mart ads'.
@@iwenttobunnings7868 It went to number four in Australia somehow...
@@juliekeast6175 Yeah, it wasn't nice, but the end of 2012 was a bit shocking music wise. The start and middle 2012 was amazing.
This dude reminds me of Linkara
I don't know, man. I think all of your points about Payphone are valid, but I still just love that song. It's just great melodically and perfectly constructed in my opinion.
I'm actually a Maroon 5 fan, though, so my taste is just bad I guess.
Looks like we got one of the bad Mark hairline videos
birthday cake reminds me of M,I,L,F by Fergie
One in 2019... So it’s either Shallow or Sunflower.
Even if it doesn’t make much sense, I’ve always liked the beat from Back In Time
And to quote the great ADoseofBuckley about Birthday Cake:
"You want that cake (X stupid amount of times)....Hmmm, wonder what the next line's gonna be?
Cake,cake.....
Brutal".
Dude I usually think you’re right on with your critique but you were ludicrously unfair to Jason Mraz. I know there are issues within his music but I think the extrapolation from your personal experience with “I Don’t Give Up” to his music in general is totally misguided. He produced some quality stuff among his many clunkers. Underrated artist imo looking past the huge hits.
spoiler
LMAOOO did drive by really get moved from 8 to 3
(spoilers)
oh finally someone else who doesn't hate One More Night, and always gonna enjoy me some crapping on David Guetta. thank god I Just Wanna F wasn't a hit or I think you'd have a different #1 pick
but I will admit Back In Time has always been a massive guilty pleasure of mine. as big of a trainwreck as it is and as much as your criticisms are 100% valid, I still find it to be an entertaining trainwreck, and NUMBAH TWOOOO is going to stick with me as long as I live
Mark alluding to the idea of a worst hits of the decade piece sounds incredible
The big question how many spots would it have
You know Fortune sucks when on the Chris Brown Essentials on Apple Music, only 1 out of the 40 songs is from Fortune
Whistle was 2012? Damn, it feels a lot more recent.
You always have my favourite top 10 lists... I can't wait for the end of 2019
I never even heard Turn Up the Music, though I always heard of the song if that makes sense (though what I heard from this video sounds pretty terrible) but I remember hearing the first few seconds of Don't Wake Me Up and getting angry and changing the station every time. It just SOUNDS awful, not to mention it's Chris Brown. I remember Todd's review though, barely even mentioning the song he just wanted to hate on Chris Brown some more lol also you share the #1 spot on the worst list.
2012 is such a nostalgic year to me and I listened to the radio a lot that year. I've never even heard a couple of these songs. Such as the Jason Mraz song, but I hate I'm Yours so I probably wouldn't like the song you mention here, either.
2012 was a great year for one album Phantom Antichrist by Kreator
can we get worst hits of 1999?
I want to see a best list of that year, too.

ladies and gentlemen: a clusterfuck.
Everyone seems to agree that that Chris Brown/Rihanna collaboration was one of the biggest miscalculations in recent popular music. And yet Chris Brown still has millions of defenders. BLACK WOMAN defenders!! I don’t know what’s wrong with the world.
Also shame on you for reminding of Cher Lloyd. *Ugh*
2012 was basically the 1995 of the 2010s.
