These acts broke through with the following hits, sending them top the top 5, this decade - but so far, they failed to follow up with another top-40 hit. Which is the worst of the bunch?

I left out 2016. Only because they're still active.

2011
#3 Pumped Up Kicks (Foster The People)

2012
#4 Glad You Came (The Wanted)
#1 Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye f/ Kimbra)

2013
#3 Ho Hey (The Lumineers)
#1 Harlem Shake (Baauer)
#4 Say Something (A Great Big World and Legend X)

2014
#5 Pompeii (Bastille)
#4 Let Her Go (Passenger)
#4 Am I Wrong (Nico & Vinz)
#1 Rude (MAGIC!)
#2 Take Me To Church (Hozier)

2015
#4 Shut Up + Dance (Walk The Moon)
#3 Watch Me (Silentó)
#1 Cheerleader (OMI)
#5 Here (Alesia Cara)

cheerleader, rude, harlem shake, and watch me are awful

#1 Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye f/ Kimbra)

Worst #1 ever

Am I Wrong was annoying af for me.

Alessia Cara is also unbearable.

I'll never understand why people hate it that much. It's better than every single song listed in the OP.

Watch Me, Pompeii and Cheerleader are all awful. Hmmm...

I really hate how Hozier's label kinda screwed him over. He could've scored 2 more moderate hits out of that album but they slipped

umich, why



Technically, you're right though. Ugh, release I'm Yours bitch

Cheerleader made me crash my car into a wall. It's not that it distracted me or anything I just wanted to die in a blaze of fire after hearing it

Watch Me + Harlem Shake

Where's 'Let Her Go' did they have another hit? Anyway that song was trash and hearing on the radio all the time didn't help either

Watch Me was so bad it was good.

#1 Cheerleader (OMI)
ew i hate this song

The song slays

Rude, I like all the other songs.

But Tightrope was fairly big for them. I mean, the video doesn't have a ton of views but I def. remember this song being popular in 2012.

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy but here's my number, so call me maybe.

O lemme add that one

Pumped Up Kicks, Harlem Shake, and Rude were all unbearable garbage. I actually liked all of last year's, even Watch Me and Cheerleader.

#8 Good Time (with Owl City)
#39 I Really Like You

Carly doesn't meet the specification of the OP, thus she isn't an OHW.

#3 Pumped Up Kicks (Foster The People)
#1 Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye f/ Kimbra)
#4 Say Something (A Great Big World and Legend X)
#2 Take Me To Church (Hozier)

These.
The novelty songs aren't good either but I can't really take them seriously enough to hate them.

Pumped Up Kicks trash? Sis
