These are all pretty terrible... I'm not a fan of any of those songs either, although I don't like rap and hip-hop music in general. I do admit to liking "Crazy Frog" when it was released in 2005 though.  A major reason I hate Crazy Frog's cover of "Axel F" so much is because it was one of the only dance/electronica songs that Americans knew about in the mid-2000s. Although "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada was a nice song, Crazy Frog made my favourite genre of music at the time look like a childish joke. It was not easy growing up in America at a time when upbeat dance pop was so unpopular and crappy snap music was everywhere.

I couldn't even begin to imagine what it must have felt like to see your favourite genre of music being represented by a really ordinary song, making the genre unfavourable, as a result. While grunge was long-gone by the time I entered my core childhood, at least rock music was still a dominant genre in the mainstream and respected by the vast majority of people, so it made the absence of my favourite sub-genre bearable. The complete lack of dance/electronica in the mainstream would have been made worse by snap's popularity, essentially considering that the genres are complete opposites of each other. I can completely understand why you began to take an interest in the UK charts at the time!

I should add these to the 2000s suck list, as well:
The early 2000s were a bad time for Mariah Carey, and this represents probably the absolute nadir of her entire career. Like "Scream," this peaked quite high on the Billboard Hot 100 but fell off the charts extremely quickly.
And you thought "I Don't Want You Back" was already pathetically immature enough? This misogynistic train wreck is so abysmal it's almost fascinating. Had it actually been a hit as opposed to tanking miserably, it would've definitely made my main list.
This is another one of those songs from the mid-to-late 2000s that highlights precisely why I was no longer listening to top 40 music in junior high and early high school. I actually really like Kelis, so I'm frustrated that, aside from "Milkshake," this was her only big hit in the US, while all of her good songs went to the UK instead.
May as well throw this snap catastrophe in here, too. Judging by the artist name, this song really makes me want to go back in time.
So, Mika's "Grace Kelly" peaked only at #57, yet this was a #1 hit in 2007? Oh, what bad taste Americans had back then...
This is probably by far the worst Neptunes-produced hit song of all time. "The Sweet Escape" was much more overrated, but "Wind It Up" just falls flat on its arse with its childish singing and out-of-place sample from The Sound of Music. It's sad how inept and lowbrow music got during the 2000s.

Pretty much all of them! I had lost interest by this time and the few I heard didn't rock my world. Although I do like 'Sweet About Me' by Gabriella Cilmi and 'One Day Like This' by Elbow.

This song is pretty ordinary. The vocals annoy me the most, to be honest. Oddly enough, "Last Nite" by The Strokes wasn't even a hit in Australia. It only peaked at #47 and stayed on the chart for just one week!  But I guess that's not a bad thing.

I always thought it meant bland or indistinguishable, not necessarily bad? Is the informal definition different in Australia or something?

It can have that meaning as well, but here in Australia, the term "ordinary" is often used to describe something that is "not good" or "quite bad". I do have a bad habit of using it quite often to describe certain things.

Just realised that I haven't made a "Top 10 worst songs of the 2000s" list, so I think I might do that now: #10Yeah, this is pretty awful. As I mentioned in a previous post, the vocals annoy me the most. It's incredibly overrated and not as good as people make it out to be. 9If there was ever an example of the most overplayed song of all time, "You're Beautiful" would have to be one of the biggest contenders. This song was literally everywhere back in 2005. You couldn't escape it. Either way, I personally consider the song itself to be pretty horrible. 8I dislike this for much the same reasons as my dislike of "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas. The song is really childish and low-brow. It's funny, I remember when I was in primary school during the Mid 2000s, kids at my school would sing the lyrics to this song, because they thought it was actually about milkshakes.  7Another really low-brow song from the Mid 2000s. There's not much more to say about this. It's pretty horrible. 6I didn't even like this at the time of it's release. It sounds really depressing, in my opinion. I think the main reason why it was so popular, was the simple fact that it was such a contrast from the "ringtone rap", pop songs and the ilk which were on the charts at the time. 5"Single Ladies" was another song which was overplayed at the time of it's release. I think the song itself is really annoying, especially the beat. 4This was another song which was overplayed at the time of it's release. I find the chorus to be incredibly annoying and repetitive. The lyrics aren't that great either. It's amazing that Snoop Dog didn't appear in this song, seeing as though it felt like he appeared in everything back in the Mid 2000s. 3I actually didn't mind this song ("My Humps") when it was released, however I blame that on the fact that I was only 6 years old. In retrospect, it's ridiculously childish and awful. I can't believe how low-brow it is. This basically sums up how lacklustre music was back in the Mid 2000s. 2To be honest, i'm just not a fan of the Gorillaz. I was tossing up between this song or "Feel Good Inc." (which is extremely overrated, IMO), however I decided to go with the former, as I slightly dislike it more. I find the vocals to be incredibly dreary and bland. The song sounds so depressing. 1This song was absolutely played to death when it was released back in 2004. Honestly, it's just awful. The vocals and lyrics are downright horrendous. While I admit i'm not a fan of rap/hip-hop as it is, there are so many better rap songs than this. Even the beat is really horrible. To top it off, the music video isn't any better. I hate how it glorifies having expensive things and having a lot of women (although, that's one thing I generally dislike about hip-hop in general). Seriously, how the hell could people even like this song?

Oh god, those songs (and videos) really are making the 2000s show their age. I agree with "You're Beuatiful", I personally find it to be a very irritating song, also "Crazy" aswell but not quite as bad. "Drop it like its hot", "Single Ladies" & "Milkshake" are all very annoying tbh and as for the rest, while they aren't very good quality songs, I either think they're catchy or they are just not bad enough to be on this list

That's exactly what I thought when I briefly watched all of them! It's incredible to think that the 2000s will be considered "retro" in just a few more years.  That's fair enough. To be honest, I could probably include almost every Mid 2000's song as part of this list.

Maybe this isn't one of the worst songs of the 2000s, however it's definitely one of the worst rock songs to have achieved success in the decade, IMO. I'm not sure why, but the vocals really irritate me. I also don't particularly like the guitar chords. It peaked at #34 on the ARIA Chart back in Late 2003 and stayed on the chart for three weeks. "Plastic Loveless Letter" is a pretty good example of the Australian alt-rock movement of the Early-Mid 2000s.

Too much hiphop/urban rubbish for my liking, although to like it is your right.
I like 'It's Rocking' by Indian actress Kareena Kapoor from 2009 which is sung in both Hindi and English, 'Hall Ut' (meaning 'Hold On') by Tomas Ledin from 2009 and Tomas' 2006 World Cup song for Sweden 'Vi Ar Pa Gang' ('We Are On Form'). My niece bought me the World Cup song for Christmas 2012.

Usually, I like this type of music, but yeah, something feels very off about that singing voice. Lack of vocal polish is a pretty common trait of alternative rock bands, but the frontwoman for Magic Dirt sounds like she's getting over a sore throat. That chorus is kind of mundane, too.

Maybe the singer just had an "off day" at the time of the recording, because just two years later, the band released this song, which is so much better IMO. Ironically though, it was less successful than "Plastic Loveless Letter". It only peaked at #51 back in August 2005, however it did receive a fair bit of airplay.

Okay, I’ve changes my mind. THIS is the very worst song of the 2000s:
Like most people, I was always sick of Nickelback’s success, especially after All the Right Reasons came out, but listening to this again...wow. I can absolutely understand, in retrospect, why this is widely considered to be the worst song of all time. I hate every horrific element about it, from the generic progression, to Chad Kroeger’s grating rasp, to the awkward country influence, to the ghastly, reprehensibly selfish and sleazy lyrical outlook in the “Billionaire” fashion.
I would personally consider this song to be the official death of rock music. Even though it lingered on for a few more years afterwards, this was like the all-time low of the genre, the one which extinguished any leftover motive to take it as a serious movement anymore.
