Top 12 Worst Hit Songs of 2010

Top 12 Worst Hit Songs of 2010 On twitter I said that 2009 was one of the worst years I've ever gone through when it comes to the Hot 100. It was so bad that a Top 10 and even a Top 15 worst list wasn't enough. I had to do a Top 20. So surely anything would've been a improvement after that, right? I don't know if 2009 is the  worst year of the Hot 100, but regardless, 2010 is definitely an improvement. This year was much more bearable to get through. That doesn't mean 2010 was good though. This year was filled with club songs, pop rap, and electro-pop. And a lot of it has not held up well. I wouldn't say 2010 was a bad year for the Hot 100, more so just underwhelming. There wasn't much variety on the charts this year, even by the standards of pop music. Still, some songs, the good and bad, stood out from the rest, and with this list, we're gonna focus on the bad. These are the worst songs the U.S. decided to make major hits in 2010. #12: Cali Swag Distri...

Now, I'd be very interested to know what the Year-End Top 100's would've been for 1950-1955, using Billboard's methodology at that time. If anyone knows if a list like this has been done, please link in the comments. I'm not sure if I'd do worst lists for those years, but I would like a chance to go through the entire 50s. As for 1956 specifically, I don't know how many times I can say 50s pop music has not held up well before I sound like a broken record. This was yet another bad and boring year for the Hot 100. The main trends here are rockabilly, doo wop, and pre-rock and roll pop, as that genre hadn't died out yet. A lot of it was forgettable and sounded the same. And now, let's go through the worst that pop music in 1956 had to offer. #10: ...
