The 10 Worst Songs Of 2015
Britney Spears / Iggy Azalea - Pretty Girls
Oh, Britney. Britney, Britney, Britney. Every time it looks like you're going to be able to crawl out of the Cheeto-dusted hole your career has been in for a decade, you make a bad decision and throw it all away. Spears's solo career has floundered so hard that she basically just does features for more popular artists. The latest installment? "Pretty Girls," which pairs her with abhorrent Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. The hate on Iggy is well-documented, so we won't waste the space, but this is an obvious attempt to make another "Fancy" that results in an even worse track. And that's saying a lot.
Meghan Trainor - Dear Future Husband
Meghan Trainor rose to fame in 2014 with the irritatingly catchy "All About That Bass," a bubbly ode to body positivity that was played to torturous excess. As befits any one-hit wonder, she's been spending the last year trying to recapture that success with increasingly diminishing results. "Dear Future Husband," Trainor's paean to the qualities she requires in a mate, reads like a time traveler from 1954 landed in modern-day America and quickly suffered a traumatic brain injury. The cliched, corny doo-wop production and idiotic lyrics are literally painful to listen to, and hopefully we won't have to much longer.
Madonna / Nicki Minaj - Bitch I'm Madonna
We're not the kind of guys who think that the only value women have is in their youth. There are plenty of mature, accomplished female musicians who are still doing great work decades after they debuted. Madonna... is not one of them. The Material Girl has aged into a terrifying automaton, desperately grasping at current stars for relevance, and her 2015 album "Rebel Heart" was lousy from stem to stern. This track, the biggest hit on the LP, features a verse by Nicki Minaj and production by list two-timer Diplo, crammed into a vaporwave mish-mosh that's legitimately irritating to the ears.
