Surely "Bounce" couldn't be any worse than this?  Oh God, that is pretty awful. Bounce is audio terrorism but this gives you cancer from second-hand embarrassment

Canada: 1. "Rockstar" - Nickelback 2. "Rude" - MAGIC! 3. "Boyfriend" - Justin Bieber 4. "Girl, I’ve Been Hurt" - Snow 5. "Insensitive" - Jann Arden 6. "Photograph" - Nickelback 7. "Diana" - Paul Anka 8. "This Afternoon" - Nickelback 9. "Started from the Bottom" - Drake (technically, it features American rappers as well, but it’s still the most tasteless Drake has ever sounded himself) 10. "Savin’ Me" - Nickelback I'm surprised Hello Kitty by Avril Lavigne didn't make your list. Or maybe you just haven't heard it yet? If so, sorry for ripping your ear drums [img alt="  " I’ve heard it, and no, I don’t think it’s nearly as terrible as the songs on my list. It’s sloppy and definitely odd coming from a talent like Avril Lavigne, but it’s at least sprightly, ambitious, and catchy. It’s a memorable trainwreck that I can put up with for pretty much the same reasons I don’t despise “Swagger Jagger” by Cher Lloyd. “M.I.L.F. $” is a far scarier fall from grace from a former pop talent, while “Happy Ending” is much more virulently racist, compared to “Hello Kitty’s” mostly naive Japanophelia. Nickelback’s worst songs, however, are just utterly miserable. Snow’s follow-up to “Informer” is an awkward wreck. “Rude” is cheesy annoyance, but not in the good way like Steps’ “5,6,7,8” it’s just a whiny, petty, faux-reggae turd that I’m pretty sure only became an international hit because the lead singer is really handsome and the song obviously speaks to hormonal straight girls and gay boys under the tight grip of their parents. “Insensitive” is an astronomically boring adult contemporary song with a singer too nasal to make the song work even as background relaxation music. “Diana” is a bland, hokey predecessor to Rod Stewart’s far superior “Maggie May.” “Boyfriend” is full-on proof Justin Bieber should never try his hand at rapping again. “Started from the Bottom” is a truly pointless song with apathetic vocals and icky trap beats.

Speaking of embarrassment, have you guys heard this song before? It's a staple of any Canadian Y2K childhood.

Oh, “Started from the Bottom” isn’t a collab, it’s just Drake on his own. I was probably thinking about songs like “Jumpman” and other uninspired trap rubbish from the 2010s. Whatever the case, “Started from the Bottom” still isn’t good for much except a snicker. I put it on my list because it’s been terrifyingly influential to the type of Soundcloud rap garbage we get nowadays. It might become an amusing artifact of the past once the trap movement is finally long gone, though.

Also SharksFan99 are those songs really worse than Bounce by Iggy Azalea? I'm not sure if I even know that song! I probably do, but I can't think of it at the moment. It's funny that you don't even hear of Iggy Azalea anymore. Even here in Australia, she has pretty much been unheard of since about 2015.  Tbh, the only time Iggy Azalea really got any attention here was when her and Charli XCX had that song "Fancy" in 2014.

If not for LFO, this would be one of the biggest self-parodies of the boy band craze from the Y2K era. That is indeed some clumsy composition with three overwrought, silly-looking beefcakes, even for their time. Still...I can't muster any real hate towards it, because it still has those groovin' beats and, like a lot of music from that era, is blissfully goofy and doesn't take itself too seriously. I suppose that's the reason I'm such an ardent defender of teen pop from the late '90s and early 2000s.

I'm not sure how popular this song was in New Zealand, but her collaboration with Ariana Grande ("Problems") was quite popular as well. Several of her other collaborations charted within the ARIA Top-50 as well, however they weren't as popular or successful as "Fancy" and "Problems".

Actually, I would add this into my Top-10 Worst Australian songs list. I completely forgot about this song; I only rediscovered it as I happened to look through a few Top-50 charts from 2005. Honestly, I don't understand how "Ohh Ahh" managed to peak at #13 and stay on the ARIA Chart for 11 weeks. It's so low-brow. The lyrics are absolutely awful and the rapping (which wasn't even necessary) at the end of the song is ridiculous. I'm convinced that this is, in actual fact, the worst Australian song to ever be released.

Those lyrics very clearly sound like they were written by a 1st grader who only just discovered pop music a few days prior and was trying to verbalize what your typical starlets must think about. Incredibly, there were four songwriters behind this blunder, including Tamara herself! The lyrics here are so embarrassing that they make LFO's "Summer Girls" sound like it was penned by Nas. A spicy pair of beats (since it changes near the end, "Imma Be" style) can only do so much to save a track with some of the most bafflingly brainless songwriting of all time.

Wow...I can't imagine how insulting it must have felt for something like this to have been such a serious hit back then.

A spicy pair of beats (since it changes near the end, "Imma Be" style) can only do so much to save a track with some of the most bafflingly brainless songwriting of all time. Yep. Mind you, Tamara was never renowned for her songwriting abilities. She was originally a member of the Y2K bubblegum-pop group, Scandal'us; none of the members in the group wrote their own songs. With that said, that definitely doesn't excuse the fact that the lyrics in "Ohh Ahh" are so childish and low-brow. Anyone could have penned better lyrics than the ones in "Ohh Ahh". I'm not sure if you read into this or not, but the song was produced under her boyfriend's newly-formed record label, presumably because no other record label wanted to produce such a song. The Mid 2000s were a very mixed bag for Australian music (in terms of quality, most songs are on par with what was coming out of the UK at the time, but there are notable exceptions), however this is just awful on all fronts. I actually think it's as bad as "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" and "Laffy Taffy". Australia very rarely produces trashy songs such as this, so i'm honestly surprised that a song like this could ever be so successful.

My guess is that it achieved success purely thru novelty, since Tamara seems to have been partially inspired by her Lebanese ancestry when composing the tune, not to mention, the production is pretty solid, like I stated. I guess Australia would just have to wait two more years for a good pop novelty of Lebanese descent, even if he was imported from Britain.

So, now that I’ve finally heard Limp Bizkit’s “Eat You Alive” all the way thru for the first time, I’d put that song at #5 on my worst list for America, between “Birthday Cake (Remix)” and “Kitty”.
