Pop songs that get stuck in your head aren’t created by accident. There’s a science to creating a sensational song. That’s why they all sound the same! The music industry knows what chords to play, how fast to play them, and what words to sing. It’s a science they have perfected that makes them money and ruins your day at the same time.

You’ll see a lot of the same things in these songs. The chorus repeats itself a thousand times. The lyrics are kind of gloomy and romantic. The chorus is perfect for singing along with—which you’ll do before you realize the song is now stuck in your head. Typically, we like these songs for a few days before we realize that—oh no, this is another hit. It’s going to be played so many times I’ll end up hating it. By then, it’s too late.

Here’s a list of the most annoying songs ever. These hits got so popular and overplayed that they became the perfect songs to hate! Do you agree with us? Are you sick of hearing these songs on the radio? Or will they never get old? Let us know!

"Despacito" didn't start its life as one of the most annoying songs ever. It was released in 2017 by Puerto Rican musician Luis Fonsi, and it had modest success on the charts. However, a few months later, a remix of "Despacito" featuring Justin Bieber was released, and it became the overhyped song we all know and hate today.

Once the Biebs was involved, the popularity of the song skyrocketed. It reached number one on the charts in 57 different countries, and it tied the record for the longest time on the Hot 100 charts. Needless to say, this thing got so popular that you couldn't avoid it, no matter how hard you tried!

  • After her role as First Lady came to an end, Jackie Kennedy went into the publishing business. She became an associate editor at Doubleday and worked mostly on autobiographies. In fact, she was one of two original editors for Michael Jackson's 2009 autobiography Moonwalk, a #1 New York Times bestseller.
  • Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars. At the time, many derided it as hideous and a publicity stunt, but it has since gone down as one of the most memorable dresses of all time—even if it isn't exactly beloved. She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
  • In February 2020, Jeff Bezos bought the most expensive property in California: a $165 million mansion. It was designed for Jack Warner (the former president of Warner Bros. entertainment company). It took a decade to construct (spanning the 1930s and 40s). It comes complete with 9 acres of Beverly Hills land, a main house, a guest house, a tennis court, a golf course, and terraces.
  • When Rihanna debuted her famous red locks in 2010 (around the same time she was featured on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie"), she started a red-hair trend. Over the next twelve months, she changed her hairstyle 13 times—more than once a month! But that came at a pricey cost. Sources say the annual price tag came out to $1,168,000 on just her hair.
  • While attending the Grammys in February 2000, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a green Versace dress that instantly became a phenomenon. The barely-there ensemble had a dramatically low cut that came below JLo’s belly button. It became such a talking point that it was Google’s most popular search query up to that point, and it spurred the company to include images into search results. It became the motivation for Google Images.
