Calling fans and music critics, we're ranking the worst songs of 2024, to give these musical misdemeanors their due credit. Whether they're corny, lazy, distasteful, or just plain bad, this year's worst songs are determined by the people, so, every fan vote counts! 

Let’s take a sneak peek at some of the music mishaps 2024 gave us. Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot” springs forth from a diss track, pointing a mocking finger at Megan Thee Stallion's shooting injury. From his FXX show Dave, Lil Dicky's “Jail (Part 1)” showcases his signature raunchy humor, but to mediocre effect. Kygo and Ava Max's EDM track "Whatever" managed to turn Shakira's 2001 hit into pancake batter, while Justin Timberlake's “Selfish” was criticized for its lazy and dull production. 

We don't want to spoil the entire list, or rather the shock, so you'll need to check it out to see the other melodious missteps for yourselves. A hint: Jason Derulo, Marshmello and Bella Poarch make an appearance as well. How did these songs earn their spot on this list? Sadly, there's no exact science to it. Ill-received lyrics, questionable rhythmics, or just plain weird musical choices seem to be common pitfalls.

Which song of 2024 do you believe truly deserves the title of 'worst'? Do you agree with the ones mentioned? Use your voice and stand up against bad music! Let your opinion be heard and crown the worst song of 2024.

Most divisive: Mamushi (feat. Yuki Chiba)
