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. Yeah, that song is pretty bad. I decided to listen to it again for the first time in many years and I didn't even listen to it in it's entirety, due to how incredibly awful it is. I do agree that "Rockstar" would have partly contributed to the demise of rock music in the mainstream. There honestly isn't anything good about the song whatsoever.

I agree. It's funny though, you never hear the song on radio or anyone talk about it, even though it was such a massive hit when it came out.

I hadn’t heard this song in awhile, having totally forgotten how most of it went. I just knew it was from the Drumline movie soundtrack and that it was the first solo outing of *NSYNC’s other lead singer.
Having just listened to it again a couple of days ago, all I can say is yikes, I’m not so surprised JC’s solo career tanked so badly, in stark contrast to Justin sounding hot for several years. This single in particular is a stodgy, convoluted, underwritten mess that completely struggles to find a groove or a real hook and evokes absolutely no character out of its singer. It’s pretty much the polar opposite of Justin’s early solo work, like JC completely bypassed the Justified/FutureSex/LoveSounds phase of his career and immediately skipped to Man of the Woods. It may not hurt as badly as “Rockstar” or “Lean wit It, Rock wit It”, but it’s undoubtedly one of the most tastelessly incompetent pop songs of the early 2000s.
A year later, JC dropped this, which is possibly even more of a failure than “Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love)”, having also charted poorer and effectively ended his career:
Frankly, this song is so terrible it’s actually pretty laughable. It makes “Bye Bye Bye” sound like a Springsteen song in all its edgelessness. I suppose it at least has some amusement value, which “Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love)” lacks completely, but it’s still an utter trainwreck, albeit still better-written than “Ooh Ahh”. Ironically, it came out around the same time as Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl controversy with Janet Jackson, but it’s probably even more disgraceful. If you want a good song called “Some Girls” from 2004, I think you know where to look.

I know I just posted a couple of hours ago, but ho boy, I think I may have just found a rock song from the 2000s even worse than “Rockstar”:
I’m not quite positive it’s the #1 worst song of the decade, if only because it has better vocals and production than “Rockstar”, but the lyrics are so appalling that it really doesn’t matter. It’s bad enough Fred is so blatant about his perversion here, but he doesn’t even know how to sell himself tactfully. He’s not some sexy creature of the night, he’s just comes across like a delinquent 12-year-old, overflowing with angst but short on verbal proficiency and too insecure to even make a coherent statement. It’s not so hard to understand why Results May Vary is regarded as one of the worst albums of all time after listening to this.

The song starts off well, but after the first chorus (the scene of Fred Durst screaming at the woman ruins the legitimacy of the song, IMO), things quickly take a turn for the worse. While there is a lot to dislike about the song, i'm not sure if I would consider it to be one of the worst songs of the decade, to be honest. I definitely think the overall production is the one redeeming factor about the song. Interestingly enough, "Eat You Alive" managed to peak at #10 in the UK. I wouldn't have expected it to perform so well in the UK, of all places!

The UK is friendlier towards heavy metal than you'd probably think, given that bands like Oasis and The Beatles are more the types of bands most people associate with the country. The UK did produce Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, with the latter in particular scoring countless big hit singles across the years. Bands like Metallica, Linkin Park, Guns N' Roses, and even Slipknot ("Wait and Bleed" reached the top 30 there and was certified Gold, compared to the US, where it only got to #34 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and didn't make the Hot 100) have found solid audiences in Britain, too. Metal and all its subgenera have done plenty well in the UK, so "Eat You Alive" peaking at #10 isn't too surprising, in all honesty.

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. I don't think there's a single Nickelback song that I like. All his songs are like that: no melody at all and just yokel-ing into the mic. I feel like most the worst songs of the 2000s have already been posted here, but here are a few other contenders. Lorna - Papi ChuloI think this song officially killed off the Y2K era Latin Pop trend in 2003, except maybe Gasolina afterwards (although I don't think that's considered a part of the fad). It's got to be up there along with Crazy Frog, Crank Dat, and that maniac laughing baby for being some of the worst ringtones of all time. I can't stand it! Lil Wayne - AmiliI remember my cousin saying that listening to rock music was for fags and that real men listen to rap. His favourite rapper was Lil Wayne and he played this song expecting me to be impressed. It's got to be one of the worst songs I ever heard, I get dumber every second I listen to it!

Actually, I would personally argue that the latin pop craze lasted thru the mid-2000s. For one, you had the brief entrance of reggaeton into the American mainstream with songs like "Oye Mi Canto", "La Tortura", "Hips Don't Lie", and "Gasolina" becoming hits. Additionally, musicians such as Frankie J, Baby Bash, and Natalie continued to represent Hispanic influences in popular music during the mid-2000s. In hindsight, I would actually argue that the final song of the latin pop trend was "Beautiful Liar" by Beyoncé and Shakira.

Haha, I was editing my post to mention Gasolina as you made this post. 😳 I almost forgot about Shakira, she was really popular in the mid-late 2000s.

I knew that the bands you mentioned were quite successful in the UK, however I wasn't aware that the country embraced Nu-Metal (i.e Limp Bizkit, Korn) to the same extent. Either way, it's interesting to hear that the UK are very embracing of nu metal/heavy metal. Lil Wayne - AmiliI remember my cousin saying that listening to rock music was for fags and that real men listen to rap. His favourite rapper was Lil Wayne and he played this song expecting me to be impressed. It's got to be one of the worst songs I ever heard, I get dumber every second I listen to it! What the hell is that? I wouldn't even call that music; it's just inaudible mumbling over a crap, repetitive beat. This is actually the first time I have ever listened to that song and I don't think I'll ever listen to it again. I'm really glad that it didn't chart in Australia! Honestly, I would consider "Amilli" to be just as bad as "Laffy Taffy" and "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It". It's just awful.
