As 2024 comes to a close, the year-end lists are rolling in – from the top songs to the most iconic moments. But this time, Variety has taken a bold turn by spotlighting the worst songs of the year instead of the best. Featuring big names that left fans disappointed and tracks that just didn’t hit the mark, this controversial list is making waves. Curious to see which artists fell short in 2024? Check out the lineup of the year’s biggest musical flops!
Thanks to Spotify’s Wrapped feature, introduced years ago, we’ve become accustomed to discovering our most-played songs and favorite artists of the year. Every year, fans eagerly await these lists.
Globally, artists like Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, and Drake dominated Spotify as the most-streamed names. But do we always have to talk about fan favorites? How about evaluating the worst of 2024?
At the top of the list is Katy Perry’s song “Woman’s World,” released after years of silence. The music video for “Woman’s World,” which objectified women, faced heavy criticism on social media.
Her song “Think U the Shit (Fart)” was not well-received.
Her latest song, “Big Foot,” failed to impress listeners, landing her the third spot.
Here’s the ranking of the year’s worst songs:
Jojo Siwa, “Karma”
Camila Cabello and Playboi Carter, “I Luv It”
Tom MacDonald and Ben Shapiro, “Facts”
Ye and Ty Dolla $ign, “Carnival”
Pitbull and Jon Bon Jovi, “Now or Never”
David Guetta and OneRepublic, “I Don’t Wanna Wait”
Bailey Zimmerman, “New to Country”
Julia Fox, “Down the Drain”
Lisa and Rosalía, “New Woman”
Jason Derulo and Michael Bublé, “Spicy Margarita”
Brian Kelley, “Kiss My Boots”
