Hey! You probably don't know me, so allow me to introduce myself. My name is David, and I'm just your average teenager. Just one problem, I know next to nothing of how to communicate to people in the real world. I mean, I've made a few friends, but even then I've never really done anything with them outside of school. I know how to speak English in full sentences and what not, but I just have a hard time talking to actual people. So, I thought, "Hey, it would be a great idea to post stuff on the internet so I could get better at this 'communication' thing!" So, with that said, let's talk about music in the 2010's. Now, the 2010's are almost over, so I thought it would be cool to recap on the decade and how it has evolved over the course of 10 years. So, let's start with the beginning of the 2010's, 2010!
2010 was a big year for pop music. Newcomers like Ke$ha, Taio Cruz & Bruno Mars flooded the charts, while previous superstars like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry & Usher maintained fame and dug their heels into the ground. This was also around the time where rock started to dilute from the charts, with only 10 songs making into the year end, 7 of them on the lower half, and the best one already hitting the year end in 2009. Rap music held its grip with Eminem, B.o.B, Jay-Z & Drake had some good songs with them, and somehow Nelly got a hit. I'm still not sure why that happened. And country music became really, really boring. I mean, yeah, Lady Antebellum created a masterpiece and Taylor Swift dominated the mass media's attention (and still does to this day), but other that that, do you really remember any country music from 2010? Smile? Live Like We're Dying? Lover, Lover? All completely forgettable. R&B was also fairly forgettable, with people like Jay Sean, Trey Songz, Jason Derulo, and Chris Brown notching one or two hits of their own, most of them being pretty average at best.
So overall, 2010 was not a good year. We'll get to the good stuff later, but for now, let's focus on the garbage, and boy was there a lot of garbage. Even most of the one-hit-wonders of 2010 were forgettable. La Roux, Cali Swag District, Orianthi, Jaron and the Long Road to Love, Florence + The Machine, Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP, Willow and The Ready Set. Yeah, some of them were pretty good, but most of them are incredibly bland.
One more thing, here are the rules for my list.
1. A song must have debuted in the U.S. Billboard Year-End 100 in 2010. I can think of plenty of songs that sucked that made it into the year-end (Whatcha Say comes first to mind), but they already made it into the previous year's year end.
2. This is in no way, shape, or form objective. If you like these songs, good for you, I didn't.
3. There is going to be a LOT of profanity. If you don't want to hear that, skip this list.
So, with that said, let's countdown The Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2010!
