Finally, Ride by Ciara and Ludacris gains to 79. 

62. Rock That Body - The Black Eyed Peas

I used to absolutely hate this song and consider it one of the worst hits of 2010, but I don't anymore. I mean it has some bad elements. The production is pretty weak and the chipmunk vocals are annoying but the other vocals are good and the hook is catchy outside of the chipmunk vocals. It just evens out to mid for me. 


65. Gypsy - Shakira 

I like Shakira and like most of what I've heard this is pretty good. Her voice is amazing as usual and the production is very good. The lyrics are also good if nothing special. While I wouldn't call this is as great as some of her hits like She Wolf, Can't Remember To Forget You, Whenever, Wherever, etc, its still really good. Would recommend it. 


83. Magic - B.o.B., Rivers Cuomo

While this is my least favorite of his 2010 hits, that isn't saying much as this is still very awesome. The banging beat that was unfortunately produced by a certain abuser, the fantastic hook, B.o.B.'s really good bars. Just such a fun song. 


85. Cooler Than Me - Mike Posner

I still do not get the hate for this song and stand by what I said on my best list for 2010. There is nothing I see wrong with the lyrics, and his vocals are quite good. The hook is great. But the star of the show with this song is the instrumental. That fucking synth melody is so fucking incredible! Espicially the solo at the end, which was one of the best moments of pop music in all of 2010 if you ask me. Fantastic song and I do not get why people hate it so much. 


89. Lover, Lover - Jerrod Niemann

This on the other hand deserves more hate than it gets if you ask me. One of the final cuts from my Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2010. The annoying vocals, the weak instrumental and the insufferable lyrics. Terrible stuff. 


93. Halfway There - Big Time Rush

I never watched this show so I don't know much about this group. Anyway how is this? Pretty mediocre. Sure the singers aren't bad and this song kinda reminds me of One Direction, but 1D did songs like this a lot better and the production on this song is TERRIBLE and a lot worse than 1D usually had. So yeah this isn't any good. 


95. Gettin' Over You - David Guetta, Chris Willis, Fergie, LMFAO

I will defend David Guetta a lot more than most critics. And I actually really like Fergie now. A lot of Black Eyed Peas with her on them have grown on me and I like all of her solo hits from the 2000s and even will defend M.I.LF$. And I also like LMFAO. So how is this? Very good! The production from Guetta slaps, Fergie sounds amazing, this Chris Willis also sounds very good, and LMFAO's repetition of party slaps. This is just so much fun. I would recommend it even if you don't like David Geutta or any of the featured artists. 


100. New Morning - Alpha Rev

This is solid. Decent instrumental, okay lyrics, and weaker than average but still not bad vocals. Just a fine rock song but nothing special. 


So yeah that was this week! Worst Of The Week is going to Lover, Lover by Jarrod Niemann, with Dishonorable Mention going to Halfway There by Big Time Rush. Best Of The Week is going to Gettin' Over You by David Guetta, Chris Willis, Fergie and LMFAO, and Honorable Mention is going to Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner.

My Top 20 Favorite Hit Songs of 2023 Part 2 (10-1)

Image
  10. Snooze - SZA I think recently SZA finally clicked for me. I haven't tested that yet by going back to her Ctrl era hits since my 2017 best list. Maybe it's just that I like her hits this year more than them, or maybe lately I've been busier and tired more often and more in the mood for downbeat R&B like this, but Kill Bill was one of the last cuts from the list, and Low would have been even higher if it was eligible. This song just did a good job calming me down through this stressful year. SZA's voice just sounds so comforting and smooth, the pitch shifting is fantastic and the beat is just upbeat enough to be catchy and for the song to have rhythm while also laid back enough to be calming. Before I listened to Low as a recommendation from my friends I considered this my favorite SZA song I'd heard, and between the songs I've heard it I actually want to listen to SOS at some point which I never thought I'd say. 9. Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift  Some ...

My Top 10 Least Favorite Hit Songs of 2006

  10. Gimme That - Chris Brown  Yay. My favorite artist. Chris brown unfortunately had a big year in 2006, and I don't like all but one of those hits at all. This isn't even the worst one (we'll get to that later). It's just Chris Brown creeping on women. My favorite. And doing it over a really stiff and annoying beat, and sounding awful doing it. His autotune has aged so poorly. Don't have more to say.  9. Ms. New Booty - Bubba Sparxxx, Ying Yang Twins, Mr. Colipark This is on the list entirely for that fucking atrocious beat that sounds like a siren and the annoying vocal effects that sound horrible. Other than that the song is fine, but those two elements completely ruin it.  8. Beep - Pussycat Dolls, Will.i.am/ Buttons - Pussycat Dolls  The Pussycat Dolls fucking suck, or at least that's the impression I have gotten from their hits. The best of them is probably Stickwitchu which is like, okay at best. And while these two songs are not as bad as When I Grow U...

My Top 10 Least Favorite Hit Songs of 2003

Image
  Hey everyone, been a while, but Drake, known online as Urtar Reviews here and today I am doing another worst list for 2003! My birth year! So how good an overall year for pop music do I think 2003 was? I think it might be my least favorite year of the 2000s decade for pop music. Not to say it's a terrible year, in fact there's a fair amount of songs I adore as we'll see on the best list. But the bad stuff really drags it down. Let's get into it! Before I listened to this list, I did not realize that Natasha Bedingfield's brother had hits. Years before her first song hit the Hot 100. I was totally fine not knowing that because... 10. If You're Not The One - Daniel Bedingfield Snore. Snore. I am someone who has a soft spot for late 90s and early 2000's ballads like this. And this still is so goddamn boring to me. Daniel Bedingfield is such a boring singer that just has such little personality. And the instrumentation is also boring. And the lyrics are kinda ...
