Realistically I get the sense Todd isn't going to do any more retro reviews considering how much work they are for him.

to:

*** "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam: Despite reaching #1 on the Hot 100, it never made a year-end list due to the unlucky timing of its release (songs popular at the end of the year tended not to be factored into the Year-End Hot 100). Considering its lasting status as a meme song used by crowds to serenade out disliked losing or departing figures, it might be the single most obvious song to be used as bumper music for ''any'' Worst list.

Prince: Unlikely considering how notoriously litigious and restrictive Prince and his estate are.

Changed line(s) 653 (click to see context) from:

** "We Built This City" by Starship: Frequently cited as the worst song in music history, due not just to its extravagant '80s production and hypocritical lyrics, but also because it's by a band descended from '60s counterculture legends Jefferson Airplane. Todd referenced this SellOut move in his Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 1987 video, and while he actually loves their later hit "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", he's not fond of this.

** "Girl You Know It's True", "Baby Don't Forget My Number", "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You", and/or "Blame It on the Rain" by Milli Vanilli: They're one of the ultimate cases of SnarkBait in music history for pretty obvious reasons, but even overlooking the lip-syncing scandal, these tracks are all really ~~bubblegummy.~~bubblegummy, and Todd might note that the scandal showed that Milli Vanilli were the ultimate triumph of style over substance and that part of the reason neither Rob and Fab nor the original performers were able to salvage any actual careers afterwards was that they weren't that great to begin with.

Changed line(s) 784 (click to see context) from:

** “Humpin’ Around” by Bobby Brown: Hinted in the Adina Howard episode. It's likely Todd feels Bobby Brown, of all people, has no right to the complaints he makes throughout this song, due to his antics and troubled relationship with Whitney Houston, not to mention the message causes him to look like a sexist hypocrite when compared to "My Prerogative".

Changed line(s) 923 (click to see context) from:

Deleted "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head", which Todd said he likes

on Twitter, as well as "Summer Girls", which he hinted to consider a guilty pleasure in his Best of 2019 video.

Deleted line(s) 260 (click to see context) :

** "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" by B.J. Thomas: This was one of the biggest hits of the year and seems like a possible representation of lightweight pop suddenly dominating the charts in 1970, compared to the much grittier 1969.

Deleted line(s) 977 (click to see context) :

** "Summer Girls" by LFO: Probably the most obvious choice possible due to its bizarre NonSequitur lyrics. Todd may also complain that the abundance of references to the 1980s and early 1990s make the song age poorly, on top of its other flaws.

It's unclear if this means he now enjoys the song to a degree, or if he just decided to dance because everyone else was doing it, but his comments certainly indicate that it won't be #1.

** "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em: In the "Watch Me (Whip[=/=]Nae Nae)" review, he ~~calls~~ called "Crank That" one of the worst songs ever, all but assuring that it would reach ~~#1.~~#1. On the other hand, in the "Old Town Road (Remix)" Pop Song Review, he said he would've originally put this song at #1 list and called it "barely even music"... before admitting that he, like everyone else, danced along with it when a DJ played it at a recent event. It's unclear if this means he now enjoys the song to a degree, or if he just decided to dance because everyone else was doing it, but his comments certainly indicate that it won't be #1. He also sees it as the pioneer of the viral meme hit -- not that this is entirely a good thing.

While the heavily derided "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" missed Todd's Worst list for 1987, it's likely Samantha's weak singing voice would catch up to him on this track, due to its more lightweight production and especially because despite being a totally manufactured pop idol, Samantha proclaims herself as edgy on the track, similar to Todd's criticism of *NSYNC's "Pop" in the "Filthy" review.

This is a special sub-page for all of the predictions for future Worst Hit Songs of Random Year episodes.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:1950s]]
* Worst Hit Songs of 1958 (the first year with a Billboard Year-End list, albeit only a top 50 instead of the usual top 100):
** "A Wonderful Time Up There", "April Love", and/or "It's Too Soon to Know" by Pat Boone: Pat Boone. Enough said.
** "Chantilly Lace" by The Big Bopper: Although it got popular too late in the year to make the Year-End list, it was still a big hit that year. Despite being one of the victims of the Day the Music Died, this artist is nowhere near as fondly remembered today as the [[Music/BuddyHolly other]] [[Music/RitchieValens two]] victims, and this track of his is a quintessential example of the inane novelty song that dominated the few years before Beatlemania.
** "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" by Laurie London: He recognized this as a kids' song in the Paper Lace episode, and it was one of the biggest hits in a year when the raunchier, more mature rock & roll movement was sinking fast.
** "Just a Dream" by Jimmy Clanton
** "Lollipop" by The Chordettes: It's had more staying power than other non-rock & roll songs from the '50s, but it's also a sugarcoated track with obvious sexual undertones.
** "Magic Moments" by Perry Como: Although "Catch a Falling Star" was technically the bigger hit at the time, this song was still included as part of the double-single and is more famous today. It also seems much likelier to get on Todd's nerves, due to its chirpy, everything-is-perfect tone.
** "Short Shorts" by The Royal Teens: While Todd could appreciate it as a bold fashion statement for its time, it's still extremely bubblegummy.
** "Splish Splash" by Bobby Darin
** "Sugartime" by The [=McGuire=] Sisters
** "The Purple People Eater" by Sheb Wooley: Hinted in the "Monster Mash" episode.
** "Volare (Nel blu dipinto di blu)" by Domenico Modugno: One of the ''only'' [=EuroVision=] songs to become a hit in America, it's possible Todd would [[HypeBacklash blame this song]] for the contest's subsequent [[AmericansHateTingle lack of popularity]] in the the US.
** "When" by The Kalin Twins
** "Witch Doctor" by David Seville: Hinted in the "Monster Mash" episode.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1959 (the first year with a Billboard Year-End Top 100 Singles list):
** "A Boy Without a Girl" by Frankie Avalon
** "Along Came Jones" by The Coasters
** "Alvin's Harmonica" by The Chipmunks: The laughable followup to a seemingly destined one-hit wonder that turned out to also be a hit, this track is probably a lot likelier to appear on Todd's Worst list due to its use of sexual double-entendres, still sung by cuddly cartoon chipmunks.
** "Baby Talk" by Jan & Dean: While it wasn't one of the bigger hit songs of the year, it's easily one of the more obvious choices for inclusion, due to being basically the pop song equivalent of ''Film/BabyGeniuses''.
** "Bobby Sox to Stockings" by Frankie Avalon: A cheesy teen pop song about a girl entering puberty.
** "Come Softly to Me" by The Fleetwoods: The lyrics here are extremely elementary, even for the time.
** "Deck of Cards" by Wink Martindale: A very likely candidate for the #1 spot. It's a spoken-word novelty song in which the narrator compares his deck of cards to the Bible.
** "It Was I" by Skip & Flip"
** "Just a Little Too Much" by Ricky Nelson: While Ricky Nelson is generally more fondly remembered than the other teen idols of the late '50s and early '60s, this isn't one of his better-received hits.
** "Kissin' Time" by Bobby Rydell
** "Kookie Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)" by Edd Byrnes & Connie Stevens
** "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" by Paul Anka: Todd hates "(You're) Having My Baby", and Paul Anka was one of numerous teen idols from the late '50s and early '60s, most of which Todd considers "worthless."
** "Never Be Anyone Else But You" by Ricky Nelson
** "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat" by Paul Evans
** "Sweeter Than You" by Ricky Nelson
** "Tell Him No" by Travis and Bob: Todd could easily think the message of permitting a woman to date another guy while also forbidding full commitment is pretty implausible.
** "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" by The Chipmunks: On one hand, Todd could possibly be nostalgic for the '80s television show, but on the other, this is a quintessential example of the dumb novelty hit that dominated the dark period he described in the "Monster Mash" episode.
** "The Three Bells" by The Browns: As a general rule, Todd dislikes religious songs that lack any implication of conflict.
** "The Tijuana Jail" by The Kingston Trio
** "Tiger" by Fabian: A really cheesy teen idol song, and Todd hinted to consider Fabian a dated, flash-in-the-pan singer in the "Monster Mash" OHW.
** "Tragedy" by Thomas Wayne
** "Venus" by Frankie Avalon
** "Waterloo" by Stonewall Jackson
[[/folder]]

[[folder:1960s]]
* Worst Hit Songs of 1960:
** "Alley Oop" by The Hollywood Argyles: Hinted in the "Monster Mash" episode.
** "Devil or Angel" by Bobby Vee
** "It's Time to Cry" by Paul Anka
** "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini": Hinted in the "Monster Mash" episode. According to the "Want U Back" review, Todd also dislikes the cover from 1990 by Bombalurina.
** "Paper Roses" by Anita Bryant: Regardless of his feelings about the song itself, Todd will surely despise Anita Bryant as a person due to her eventual infamy for crusading against gay rights.
** "Puppy Love" by Paul Anna: Whether Todd would dislike this or the Donny Osmond cover more is up in the air.
** "Running Bear" by Johnny Preston: Hinted in the "Hooked on a Feeling" OHW.
** "Stairway to Heaven" by Neil Sedaka: The title is a pretty big elephant in the room.
** "Swingin' School" by Bobby Rydell
** "Teen Angel" by Mark Dinning
** "Tell Laura I Love Her" by Ray Peterson: One of several poorly-aged songs of the teenage tragedy fad of the very early '60s.
** "Volare" by Bobby Rydell: A teen idol rendition of the [=EuroVision=] song from two years prior.
** "Why" by Frankie Avalon

* Worst Hit Songs of 1961:
** "Baby Sittin' Boogie" by Buzz Clifford: Similar to Jan & Dean's "Baby Talk", this is yet another dumb baby-themed novelty song from the pre-Beatles dark age.
** "Bless You" by Tony Orlando: Though he became much more famous for his work with the bubblegum pop group Dawn a decade later, he started off as a even more squeaky-clean teen idol.
** "Calendar Girl" by Neil Sedaka
** "Daddy's Home" by Shep and the Limelites
** "Good Time Baby" by Bobby Rydell
** "I'm Gonna Knock on Your Door" by Eddie Hodges
** "I've Told Every Little Star" by Linda Scott
** "Michael" by The Highwaymen: A white cover of an African American spiritual song with serious connotations.
** "Moody River" by Pat Boone: Pat Boone is one of Todd's least favorite pre-Beatles singers, so just about any of his songs are in contention for Worst list inclusion.
** "Rubber Ball" by Bobby Vee
** "Take Good Care of My Baby" by Bobby Vee
** "Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" by Barry Mann
** "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby" by Bobby Darin: Although the original song is from the '30s, the lyrics certainly don't come off well to modern ears.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1962:
** "Ahab the Arab" by Ray Stevens: A dumb novelty song of poor taste = virtually guaranteed for the list.
** "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" by Neil Sedaka
** "Cotton Fields" by The Highwaymen: A white cover of a very grim African American blues song.
** "Duke of Earl" by Gene Chandler
** "(Girls Girls Girls) Made to Love" by Eddie Hodges
** "I Wish That We Were Married" by Ronnie and the Hi-Lites
** "Love Me Warm and Tender" by Paul Anka
** "Norman" by Sue Thompson: Todd would probably be extremely irritated by her voice.
** "Patches" by Dickie Lee: Mostly due to its extremely poor handling of a very serious subject matter.
** "Roses Are Red (My Love)" by Bobby Vinton
** "Sheila" by Tommy Roe: He's likely to call it a lesser ripoff of Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue".
** "Speedy Gonzales" by Pat Boone: This is probably a lock, given that it's Pat Boone recording a dumb novelty song.
** "The Wah-Watusi" by The Orlons

* Worst Hit Songs of 1963:
** "Blue Velvet" and/or "Blue on Blue" by Bobby Vinton
** "Go Away Little Girl" by Steve Lawrence
** "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)" by Allan Sherman: Hinted in the "Monster Mash" episode.
** "Hey Paula" by Paul & Paula
** "I Love You Because" by Al Martino
** "I Will Follow Him" by Little Peggy March
** "I'm Leaving It Up to You" by Dale & Grace: Notably, this was the #1 song in America on the day of the Kennedy Assassination.
** "If You Wanna Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul
** "Judy's Turn to Cry" by Lesley Gore: It's possible Todd would consider this sequel to her iconic "It's My Party" an immature TakeThat that causes its predecessor to sound worse.
** "Martian Hop" by The Ran-Dells: Another dumb early '60s novelty song.
** "Sugar Shack" by Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs
** "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" by Bobby Bee
** "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" by Rolf Harris
** "What Will Mary Say" by Johnny Mathis

* Worst Hit Songs of 1964:
** "A Fool Never Learns" by Andy Williams
** "C'mon and Swim" by Bobby Freeman
** "Chapel of Love" by The Dixie Cups
** "For You" by Rick Nelson: This was the iconic teen idol's final big hit. Todd would probably find it really underwhelming.
** "Dawn (Go Away)" by The Four Seasons: It's possible Todd would be baffled by this song's awkward self-deprecation.
** "Hey Little Cobra" by The Rip Chords
** "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet" by The Reflections
** "Little Honda" by The Hondells
** "My Boy Lollipop" by Millie Brown: Despite its significance as one of the first international hits by a Jamaican artist, it's extremely bubble-gummy, even for the time.
** "Navy Blue" by Diane Renay: She was one of the last artists from the wave of late '50s/early '60s teen idols, having peaked on the charts at the same time that the Beatles broke through in America.
** "See the Funny Little Clown" by Bobby Goldsboro
** "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen: It's frequently mentioned in Worst Songs Ever lists, although it does have its fair share of defenders, especially after it got revived in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
** "There! I've Said It Again" by Bobby Vinton

* Worst Hit Songs of 1965 (up with 1976 and 1983, this is one of Todd's favorite years for pop music):
** "Baby Don't Go" by Sonny & Cher
** "Game of Love" by Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders: Its lyrics have aged ''very'' badly, due to their blunt heteronormativity and easily implied sexism. There's even a meme image calling it a "Mike Pence Anthem."
** "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte" by Patti Page: It didn't do much to preserve her legacy like Frank Sinatra's '60s hits did for him.
** "Hang On Sloopy" by The [=McCoys=]
** "Hold What You've Got" by Joe Tex: It comes across as pretty patriarchal by modern standards.
** "I Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher: A really divisive song that has also aged fairly badly when considering the couple's turbulent history in the ensuing decades.
** "I Want Candy" by The Strangeloves
** "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am" by Herman's Hermits: This track is no stranger to "Worst Songs of the '60s" lists.
** "Laugh at Me" by Sonny
** "Laurie (Strange Things Happen)" by Dickey Lee
** "Little Things" by Bobby Goldsboro: He'll probably consider it superior to the One Direction song of the same name, but that's not saying much.
** "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" by Vic Dana
** "The Birds and the Bees" by Jewel Akens
** "The Name Game" by Shirley Ellis: A silly novelty hit that probably looks really kitschy coming from the same year as "Like a Rolling Stone", "Eve of Destruction", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", and other smash hits that gave popular music an unprecedented edge.
** "What's New Pussycat" by Tom Jones

* Worst Hit Songs of 1966:
** "Baby Scratch My Back" by Slim Harpo
** "Ballad of the Green Berets" by [=SSgt.=] Barry Sadler

** "Hooray for Hazel" by Tommy Roe
** "Lightnin' Strikes" by Lou Christie
** "Li'l Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

** "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" by Jay & the Techniques
** "Come Back When You Grow Up" by Bobby Vee
** "Georgy Girl" by The Seekers
** "Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon" by Neil Diamond
** "Green, Green Grass of Home" by Tom Jones
** "I Take It Back" by Sandy Posey
** "It Must Be Him" by Vikki Carr
** "Let It All Hang Out" by The Hombres
** "Little Ole Man (Uptight, Everything's Alright)" by Bill Cosby: It's similar to Creator/WilliamShatner's pop song parodies from around the same time, but considering later knowledge about Bill Cosby, it's hard to really appreciate this in a light-hearted way today.
** "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" by The Buckinghams: Its new lyrics turn the song from a downbeat blues-rock piece to a really corny pop rock song with sexual overtones.
** "My Cup Runneth Over" by Ed Ames
** "Please Love Me Forever" by Bobby Vinton: It's likely Todd would be surprised by Bobby Vinton's staying power that other early '60s easy listening idols failed to match well after the advent of the Beatles.
** "Release Me" by Englebert Humperdinck
** "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron" by The Royal Guardsmen
** "Somethin' Stupid" by Frank & Nancy Sinatra
** "Thank the Lord for the Night Time" by Neil Diamond
** "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" by The Casinos
** "Western Union" by The Five Americans

* Worst Hit Songs of 1968:

** "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro
** "I Thank You" by Sam & Dave
** "Love Is All Around" by The Troggs
** "[=MacArthur=] Park" by Richard Harris: This song gets frequently mentioned in discussions about the worst songs of all time, with special criticism directed at its cake line.
** ""Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day" by Stevie Wonder: While Stevie is a pop legend, this largely forgotten track came out back when Motown still held a strangle over his artistic freedom.
** "Those Were the Days" by Mary Hopkin
** "Yummy Yummy Yummy" by Ohio Express

* Worst Hit Songs of 1969:
** "Baby, I'm For Real" by The Originals
** "Dizzy" by Tommy Roe
** "Good Morning Starshine" by Oliver: Due to its tone, Todd could easily consider this an early precursor to the White Guy with Acoustic Guitar song.
** "Hurt So Bad" by The Lettermen
** "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" by Tom Jones
** "Indian Giver" by 1910 Fruitgum Company
** "Jean" by Oliver
** "Little Woman" by Bobby Sherman

[[folder:1970s]]
* Worst Hit Songs of 1970:
** "Candida" by Dawn: Hinted in the Mungo Jerry OHW.

** "Everything Is Beautiful" by Ray Stevens: Hinted in the Mungo Jerry OHW.
** "Julie, Do Ya Love Me" by Bobby Sherman

** "Make It With You" by Bread: Hinted in the Mungo Jerry OHW.
** "Mama Told Me Not to Come" by Three Dog Night
** "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" by B.J. Thomas: This was one of the biggest hits of the year and seems like a possible representation of lightweight pop suddenly dominating the charts in 1970, compared to the much grittier 1969.
** "Snowbird" by Anne Murray: Todd dislikes Anne Murray, and she was already recording fluffy pop at the start of her career.
** "The Wonder of You" by Elvis Presley
** "(They Long to Be) Close to You" by Carpenters
** "United We Stand" by Brotherhood of Man
** "Up the Ladder to the Roof" by The Supremes: He may consider this an example of TheBandWithoutTheFace, as Diana Ross had left the Supremes to pursue a solo career (her rendition of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was one of the biggest songs of the same year).
** "We've Only Just Begun" by Carpenters
** "Without Love (There Is Nothing)" by Tom Jones
** "Which Way You Goin' Billy?" by The Poppy Family

* Worst Hit Songs of 1971:
** "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" by Daddy Dewdrop
** "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" by Mac and Katie Kissoon: It's an extremely childish and ear-wormy pop song, not unlike "Sugar Sugar".
** "Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted" by The Partridge Family
** "Go Away, Little Girl" by Donny Osmond
** "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" by The Fortunes
** "I Am...I Said" by Neil Diamond
** "I Don't Know How to Love Him" by Helen Reddy
** "I Woke Up In Love This Morning" by The Partridge Family
** "If" by Bread
** "If Not For You" by Olivia Newton-John
** "It's Impossible" by Perry Como: Todd will likely be shocked that Perry Como even had a hit this year.
** "Joy to the World" (aka "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog") by Three Dog Night: While Todd could find it well-composed, its lyrics make absolutely no sense, and he said Three Dog Night were a disposable band in the Paper Lace OHW.
** "Knock Three Times" by Tony Orlando and Dawn
** "One Bad Apple" by The Osmonds: Todd called the Osmonds a "worthless bubblegum act" in the Paper Lace OHW, with a clip of this song accompanying his commentary.
** "One Toke Over the Line" by Brewer & Shipley: Todd [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1151553222936604672?s=21 tweeted]] this as an example of the several cheesy songs in the '70s songbook from the Paper Lace episode.
** "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" by Lobo: In the Paper Lace OHW, he brought this up when describing early '70s garbage that has aged badly.
** "She's a Lady" by Tom Jones
** "Superstar" by Carpenters
** "Watching Scotty Grow" by Bobby Goldsboro
** "Wild World" by Cat Stevens: He has previously exclaimed his hatred for Cat Stevens and expressed huge resentment towards this song in his "Wherever You Will Go" review.
** "Yo-Yo" by The Osmonds

* Worst Hit Songs of 1972:
** "Beautiful Sunday" by Daniel Boone
** "Black and White" by Three Dog Night
** "Brand New Key" by Melanie: While a lot of people enjoy this song, it's possible that its stripped-down production and warbly vocals wouldn't sit well with Todd.
** "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson: [[ValuesDissonance By modern standards]], Todd could find Harry's black Caribbean accent in this song really distasteful.
** "Down by the Lazy River" by The Osmonds
** "Everything I Own" by Bread
** "Hot Rod Lincoln" by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen
** "Hurting Each Other" by Carpenters
** "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" by The New Seekers
** "(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All" by The 5th Dimension
** "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens
** "My Ding-A-Ling" by Chuck Berry: Infamously, this [[DoubleEntendre joke]] novelty song is the only time the Father of Rock N' Roll ever scored a #1 hit, although Todd could feel Chuck's live commentary gives it a more interesting context.
** "Nice to Be with You" by Gallery
** "Precious and Few" by Climax: Todd [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1151553222936604672?s=21 tweeted]] this as an example of the several cheesy songs in the '70s songbook from the Paper Lace episode.
** "Puppy Love" by Donny Osmond
** "Sealed with a Kiss" by Bobby Vinton: Bobby Vinton making it all the way to the early '70s is a pretty impressive feat, considering almost everybody else from his movement lost their careers in the wake of Beatlemania.
** "Speak to the Sky" by Rick Springfield: Several years before emerging an '80s icon, Rick Springfield was only known for this cheesy Christian-themed song.
** "The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A." by Donna Fargo
** "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by Robert John
** "Walkin' in the Rain with the One I Love" by Love Unlimited: Todd could very easily find this song saccharine, due especially to its spoken monologue.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1973:
** “Clair” by Gilbert O’Sullivan: While the lyrics aren’t about what some may be misled into thinking, the schmaltzy aesthetic is likely to put Todd off.
** “Daddy’s Home” by Jermaine Jackson
** “Danny’s Song” by Anne Murray
** “Do You Wanna Dance?” by Bette Midler
** “Funny Face” by Donna Fargo
** “Get Down” by Gilbert O’Sullivan
** “Little Willy” by Sweet
** “Oh Babe, What Would You Say?” by Hurricane Smith
** “Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu” by Johnny Rivers: With a title like that, this song is possibly dead on arrival.
** “Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose” by Tony Orlando and Dawn
** “Sing” by Carpenters
** “The Morning After” by Maureen [=McGovern=]
** “The Twelfth of Never” by Donny Osmond
** “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” by Tony Orlando and Dawn: Todd hinted to dislike this group in his Mungo Jerry OHW. Since he watched part of Music/SClub7’s [[Series/SClub7 TV show]] for One-Hit Wonderland, he could likely reference the cover S Club 7 performed of this song on the second episode, which [[HilariousInHindsight reinforces his previous critique of that band sounding like an edgeless ‘70s pop group]].
** “We’re an American Band” by Grand Funk Railroad: Todd has suggested that Grand Funk were the poster child for early/mid-‘70s butt-rock.
** “Yesterday Once More” by Carpenters
** “Your Mama Don’t Dance” by Loggins & Messina

* Worst Hit Songs of 1974 (Apparently, this is officially Todd's [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1148500755483115520?s=21 least favorite year ever for pop music]]. He already revealed half of his list in the “Kung Fu Fighting” episode, but the other half is unknown):
** "A Love Song" by Anne Murray
** "Beach Baby" by First Class: Similar to "The Night Chicago Died" in that it's a super cheesy attempt by Brits to sound American (more specifically Californian, in this case), complete with a contrived imitation of the Music/BeachBoys.
** “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede: His OHW retrospective said this is a terrible cover due to its overly forceful delivery and that the additional “ooga-chaka-ooga-ooga” gimmick is completely pointless.
** “I Honestly Love You” by Olivia Newton-John: Implied in the Carl Douglas OHW.
** "I Shot the Sheriff" by Eric Clapton: Vaguely hinted at [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1151554542728810496?s=21 here]]; Todd may consider it an early example of cod reggae in the grand [=UB40=] sense.
** “If You Love Me (Let Me Know)” by Olivia Newton-John
** “Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)” by Helen Reddy
** “Let Me Be There” by Olivia Newton-John
** "Midnight at the Oasis" by Maria Muldaur: Its lyrics have not aged well due to their heavy use of cultural appropriation.
** “Mockingbird” by Carly Simon and James Taylor: Implied in the Carl Douglas OHW.
** “Oh Very Young” by Cat Stevens: Cat Stevens is one of his least favorite singer/songwriters, so this seems pretty likely to make his list.
** "One Hell of a Woman" by Mac Davis
** "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" by Steely Dan: He stated it's [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1151544000249237506?s=20 easily his least favorite Steely Dan song]].
** “Rock Me Gently” by Andy Kim
** “Rock On” by David Essex: The combination of forceful melodies and minimalist production probably wouldn’t impress Todd.
** “Seasons in the Sun” by Terry Jacks: This is presumably near the top, since Todd previously called it one of his least favorite songs of all time.
** “Smokin’ in the Boys Room” by Brownsville Station: Todd said pass to this.
** "The Loco-Motion" by Grand Funk Railroad: Hinted in the Creedence Clearwater Revival Trainwreckords, where he cited this as an example of the "sh***y, boogie-blues butt-rock" that got huge right after "Sweet Hitch Hiker".
** "The Lord's Prayer" by Sister Janet Mead: It's literally just the Lord's Prayer set to music. Todd would probably consider it a bottom-of-the-barrel idea for a song.
** “The Night Chicago Died” by Paper Lace: Implied in the Carl Douglas OHW. The full episode stated that it's a dumb, badly-aged piece of '70s cheese whose tone is all over the place. Apparently, it would show up in the lower half of the list.
** "The Show Must Go On" by Three Dog Night: Todd hinted to not like them in the Paper Lace OHW.
** “The Streak” by Ray Stevens: Another brainless '70s novelty song.
** “Top of the World” by Carpenters: He'd probably despise this song's edgeless, trouble-free tone.
** "You Won't See Me" by Anne Murray: Hinted [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1148498882957139969?s=21 here]].
** “(You’re) Having My Baby” by Paul Anka: Implied in the Carl Douglas OHW and later reaffirmed in the Paper Lace OHW, where Todd hinted that it would possibly top the list.
** “You’re Sixteen” by Ringo Starr: Taking into consideration that this is coming from a then-33-year-old Ringo Starr, this cover is extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1975:
** “Angie Baby” by Helen Reddy
** “Bad Blood” by Neil Sedaka
** “Bad Time” by Grand Funk
** “Fallin’ in Love” by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds
** “Feelings” by Morris Albert: This is regarded to be one of the quintessential bad songs throughout pop history. Todd hinted that he agrees with popular consensus in the Paper Lace episode.
** “Have You Never Been Mellow” by Olivia Newton-John
** “He Don’t Love You (Like I Do)” by Tony Orlando and Dawn
** “I Can Help” by Billy Swan
** “I Don’t Like to Sleep Alone” by Paul Anka & Odia Coates
** “I’m Not Lisa” by Jessi Colter: A perfect example of a White Chick with Piano ballad, which plays fairly innocuous lyrics for heavy sentimentality.
** “Lady” by Styx
** “Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance)” by Leo Sayer: It plays like a show tune, which could very likely not go down well for Todd.
** “Love Will Keep Us Together” by Captain & Tennille
** “Morning Side of the Mountain” by Donny & Marie Osmond
** “My Eyes Adored You” by Frankie Valli
** “No No Song” by Ringo Starr
** “One Man Woman/One Woman Man” by Paul Anka & Odia Coates
** “Please Mr. Please” by Olivia Newton-John
** “Rocky” by Austin Roberts
** “Some Kind of Wonderful” by Grand Funk Railroad
** “Wildfire” by Michael Martin Murphy: This song’s extremely mellow aesthetic seems out of touch with Todd’s musical preferences.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1977:
** "Da Doo Ron Ron" by Shaun Cassidy: Todd confirmed his dislike of Shaun Cassidy in his Worst of 1976 list.
** "Dancing Queen" and/or "Knowing Me, Knowing You" by ABBA: Todd says he thinks they're "[[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1152258507342852096?s=21 just awful]]" and doesn't understand why history looks back upon them so positively.
** "Don't Give Up on Us" by David Soul: Hinted at [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1151554542728810496?s=21 here]] as one of the several kitschy hits from the '70s.
** "High School Dance" by The Sylvers
** "I Like Dreamin'" by Kenny Nolan
** "I'm in You" by Peter Frampton: The titular single from the album that derailed the singer's career.
** "Jeans On" by David Dundas: A song that got big because it was an advertising jingle for blue jeans.
** "Lost Without Your Love" by Bread
** "Muskrat Love" by Captain & Tennille: This is a lock, as Todd has implied this to be their worst song and compared his least favorite hit song of 2015 to it.
** "My Heart Belongs to Me" by Barbra Streisand
** "On and On" by Stephen Bishop
** "Telephone Man" by Meri Wilson: A bubblegum novelty hit with corny sexual innuendos. It missed the Year-End list, but it peaked in the top 20 that year.
** "That's Rock 'n' Roll" by Shaun Cassidy
** "Torn Between Two Lovers" by Mary [=MacGregor=]
** "Way Down" by Elvis Presley: Despite being released around the same time as Elvis' death, it did not chart especially well in America and is largely forgotten nowadays.
** "When I Need You" by Leo Sayer
** "You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)" by Marilyn [=McCoo=] & Billy Davis Jr.
** "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone: Despite missing the Year-End list, it reached #1 before the year was over.
** "You Made Me Believe in Magic" by Bay City Rollers
** "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" by Leo Sayer: He's likely to call this a poor man's Bee Gees song.
** "You're My World" by Helen Reddy

* Worst Hit Songs of 1978:
** "Bluer Than Blue" by Michael Johnson
** "Come Sail Away" by Styx
** "Goodbye Girl" by David Gates
** "Grease" by Frankie Valli
** "Hey Deanie" by Shaun Cassidy
** "Hopelessly Devoted to You" by Olivia Newton-John: He dislikes both ''Grease'', as well as Olivia Newton-John.
** "I Go Crazy" by Paul Davis
** "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" by Andy Gibb
** "My Angel Baby" by Toby Beau
** "Sometimes When We Touch" by Dan Hill
** "Summer Nights" by John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John
** "Take a Chance on Me" and/or "The Name of the Game" by ABBA: Todd has described the group as "just awful", so expect at least one of these to make the list.
** "Three Times a Lady" by Commodores
** "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" by Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams
** "We're All Alone" by Rita Coolidge
** "You Can't Turn Me Off (In The Middle Of Turning Me On)" by High Inergy
** "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone: To say the least, his One Hit Wonderland retrospective did not describe this song favorably.
** "You Needed Me" by Anne Murray
** "You're the One That I Want" by John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John: Todd not only dislikes ''Film/{{Grease}}'', but also previous noted that John Travolta's singing is bad on this song. Additionally, he doesn't like Olivia Newton-John.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1979:
** "A Little More Love" by Olivia Newton-John
** "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by Rod Stewart: This is Rod's infamous disco crossover hit.
** "Dancin' Shoes" by Nigel Olsson
** "Every 1's a Winner" by Hot Chocolate: It's pretty similar-sounding to the more enduring "You Sexy Thing", but the cheesy hook may turn Todd off.
** "Goodnight Tonight" by Wings
** "Hold the Line" by Toto
** "I Just Fall in Love Again" by Anne Murray
** "I Just Wanna Stop" by Gino Vannelli
** "I Was Made for Dancin'" by Leif Garrett
** "I Was Made for Lovin' You" by Kiss: This song was extremely divisive when it came out, but it's likely Todd will consider it inferior to their classic era hits.
** "In the Navy" by Village People
** "[=MacArthur=] Park" by Donna Summer: The original sung by Richard Harris is extremely infamous; whether or not Todd feels negatively about Donna Summer's cover though is unknown.
** "Ooh Baby Baby" by Linda Ronstadt
** "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" by Andy Gibb
** "Reunited" by Peaches & Herb
** "Shake It" by Ian Matthews
** "What You Won't Do for Love" by Bobby Caldwell
** "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" by Dr. Hook: This awkwardly straddles between the comedy of their early hits and the polished pop sound of their later work.
** "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" by Neil Diamond & Barbra Streisand
** "You Take My Breath Away" by Rex Smith
[[/folder]]

[[folder:1980s]]
* Worst Hit Songs of 1980 (one of his least favorite years for pop music, which he calls the "false start of the decade"):
** "All Out of Love" and/or "Lost in Love" by Air Supply: They're evidently one of Todd's least favorite bands. He specifically cited the latter song when describing 1980 as one of the worst years for pop in the "Kung Fu Fighting" episode.
** "Babe" by Styx: One of several Styx ballads Todd hates.
** "Broken Hearted Me" by Anne Murray
** "Coward of the Country" by Kenny Rogers: Based on his comments about "Islands in the Stream", Todd doesn't seem to care much for Kenny Rogers, at least compared to Dolly Parton. This song in particular would probably strike him as lame and preachy.
** "Coming Up" by Paul [=McCartney=]: Hinted in the "Black Beatles" episode.
** "Do That to Me One More Time" by Captain & Tennille
** "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer" by Kenny Rogers & Kim Carnes
** "Emotional Rescue" by The Rolling Stones: This continues in the disco style of ''Music/SomeGirls'', but with weird falsetto singing.
** "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes
** "I Pledge My Love" by Peaches & Herb
** "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" by Billy Joel: Mentioned in his FAQ as one of his least favorite songs ever.
** "Magic" by Olivia Newton-John
** "Please Don't Go" by KC and the Sunshine Band: A minimalist synthpop ballad with extremely basic lyrics.
** "Ride Like the Wind" and/or "Sailing" by Christopher Cross: Aesthetically, Christopher Cross seems like the type of musician Todd would not care for in the slightest.
** "Romeo's Tune" by Steve Forbert: Among the several forgotten soft rock tunes of this period, this one has lyrics that Todd could find especially amateurish.
** "September Morn" by Neil Diamond
** "Shining Star" by The Manhattans: Its lyrics are rather forgettable, especially compared to all the similar R&B music from the preceding decade.
** "Should've Never Let You Go" by Neil & Dara Sedaka
** "Stand By Me" by Mickey Gilley: A cover that replaces the signature groove of the original with generic pop-country instrumentation.
** "Still" by Commodores
** "The Rose" by Bette Midler
** "We Don't Talk Anymore" by Cliff Richard: Todd has stated he doesn't like most of Cliff Richard's work and considers "Devil Woman" his only true American hit, despite this track performing roughly as well on the charts.
** "With You I'm Born Again" by Billy Preston and Syreeta: He may find this piano duet too dull and lyrically uninteresting.
** "Yes, I'm Ready" by Teri [=DeSario=] & KC

* Worst Hit Songs of 1981:
** "A Little in Love" by Cliff Richard
** "Angel of the Morning" by Juice Newton: It's likely he'd consider this a pointless cover because it barely changes anything about the original from 1967.
** "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" by Christopher Cross
** "Cool Love" by Pablo Cruise
** "Crying" by Don [=McLean=]: An acoustic guitar cover of the Roy Orbison classic, albeit not of the college coffee shop douche variety that Todd specifically reviles.
** "Endless Love" by Diana Ross & Lionel Richie
** "Every Woman in the World" and/or "The Woman That You Love" by Air Supply
** "Giving It Up for Your Love" by Delbert [=McClinton=]
** "Guilty by Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb
** "Living Inside Myself" by Gino Vannelli
** "Love on the Rocks" by Neil Diamond
** "Modern Girl" by Sheena Easton: Todd would likely consider Sheena Easton a really edgeless pop diva, representative of a largely forgotten era of pop music. She had more hits later in the 1980s, but her early work in particular seems like the type of fluff that Todd hates from female singers.
** "More Than I Can Say" by Leo Sayer: Hinted in the "Best Song Ever" review.
** "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" by Sheena Easton: In contrast to the far better remembered Dolly Parton song of a similar name, also popular that same year, this bubblegummy, pseudo-'50s track has barely stood the test of time.
** "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John: It got big too late to show up on the Year-End list, but it reached #1 in November.
** "Stars on 45 Medley" by Stars on 45: This era was such a dark time for pop music that there was a trend of medleys recycling older songs, most of which were barely changed from their original versions. While an argument could be made for these singles being precursors to nonstop mixes, Todd could easily compare them to modern radio stations relying increasingly on nostalgic hits instead of new music.
** "Suddenly" by Olivia Newton-John & Cliff Richard: Todd dislikes both of these artists, making this song extremely likely.
** "The Beach Boys Medley" by The Beach Boys: Like "Stars on 45 Medley", this is just several old songs compiled into one, reinforcing how dry 1981 was for actual new pop music.
** "The Best of Times" and/or "Too Much Time on My Hands" by Styx: Todd hates Styx, so either of these hits is likely for inclusion here.
** "The Boy from New York City" by The Manhattan Transfer: He'd probably consider this a flavorless remake of the '60s doo-wop classic.
** "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA: Despite being victims of the disco backlash in America, they managed to score one more big hit before folding. This was one of the very few pop hits people still remember from the era between Disco Demolition Night and the debut of MTV, but since Todd hates ABBA, this song seems especially likely to register negatively with him, due to its use of a heavy handed analogy to describe the band's internal drama.
** "Together" by Tierra

* Worst Hit Songs of 1982:
** "65 Love Affair" by Paul Davis: He could possibly consider this a lame, oddly produced track that does nothing but prove its own message of music being better in 1965 than 1982.
** "Abracadabra" by Steve Miller Band: Although Todd likes the Steve Miller Band, he previously called this song's first verse the [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/980828699347050496 worst he's ever heard]] and also objects to the "I wanna reach out and grab ya" line.
** "Blue Eyes" by Elton John
** "Body Language" by Queen: This missed the Year-End list, but peaked at #11 when it came out.
** "Comin' In and Out of Your Life" by Barbra Streisand
** "Ebony and Ivory" by Paul [=McCartney=] and Stevie Wonder: Popular consensus considers this to be one of the worst songs in pop history, due to its schmaltzy, corny, and feeble commentary on civil rights, despite the major artistic credibility of its two performers. Todd has previously confirmed his dislike of the song.
** "Eye in the Sky" by the Alan Parsons Project: It's possible Todd would not feel comfortable with the implications of these lyrics.
** "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by Chicago: Because duh.
** "Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash: Todd was shocked that this was outperforming Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" at the time of its release, implying it doesn't leave much of a positive impression on him.
** "Hooked on Classics" by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra: Yet another early '80s dance medley of old songs. While Todd likes "A Fifth of Beethoven" from 1976, he probably wouldn't take as kindly to this.
** "I've Never Been to Me" by Charlene: This has pretty much all the ingredients to make one of Todd's Worst lists: it's a dull White Chick with Piano ballad, the lyrics are cheesy and even factually flawed (there is no "Isle of Greece"), and the socially conservative message is highly questionable, especially due to its complicity with potentially abusive marriages. If Todd ever does this list, expect this song to show up in one of the high positions.
** "Key Largo" by Bertie Higgins
** "Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg
** "Love Will Turn You Around" by Kenny Rogers
** "Make a Move on Me" by Olivia Newton-John
** "Pac-Man Fever" by Buckner & Garcia: Todd would probably consider this novelty song a lame and outdated product of its time, although it's also possible that actually works in its favor, as unlike most hits from the early '80s, this track is certainly memorable.
** "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John: Todd said this song blows in the pilot episode of ''Song vs. Song''.
** "Rosanna" by Toto: Todd reportedly dislikes everything on ''Toto IV'' except "Africa", which presumably means he doesn't care much for this song.
** "Sweet Dreams", "Even the Nights Are Better", and/or "Here I Am" by Air Supply
** "The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)" by Juice Newton
** "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?" by Diana Ross: This remake of the '50s doo-wop classic hasn't held up for the general public.
** "Yesterday's Songs" by Neil Diamond
** "You Can Do Magic" by America: He'd probably consider this dull '70s backwash.
** "You Could Have Been with Me" by Sheena Easton
** "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart

* Worst Hit Songs of 1983 (like 1976, this is reportedly one of Todd's favorite years for pop music):
** "All Right" by Christopher Cross
** "All This Love" by [=DeBarge=]
** "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" by Culture Club
** "Don't Let It End" by Styx: While Todd had more bad things to say about "Mr. Roboto", this could be more of an absence-of-good song for him, especially since he stated he's glad ''Music/KilroyWasHere'' exists.
** "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" by Laura Branigan: While the later recording by Michael Bolton (who wrote the song) is much more obvious adult contemporary SnarkBait, this version would likely be a textbook White Chick with Piano ballad to Todd.
** "I Won't Hold Back" by Toto: This is probably a lock, given how much Todd hates its parent album aside from "Africa" and the fact that it's a mellow piano ballad.
** "I've Got a Rock 'n' Roll Heart" by Eric Clapton: Todd unfavorably compared Niall Horan's "Slow Hands" (which was a dishonorable mention on his year-end countdowns for 2017) to Eric Clapton's '80s material, calling it a "dad rock version of a sex jam." This is a good example of the type of Clapton song he was referring to.
** "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton: He called it one of the lamest songs in history, despite loving the Pras song that sampled it.
** "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" by Air Supply
** "Mickey" by Toni Basil: He considered this catchy in a bad way when reviewing it on ''One Hit Wonderland''.
** "Mr. Roboto" by Styx: In the ''Kilroy Was Here'' Trainwreckords, he said the entire song was awful except for the delightfully cheesy "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto" lyric.
** "My Love" by Lionel Richie
** "Never Gonna Let You Go" by Sérgio Mendes
** "Straight from the Heart" by Bryan Adams
** "Stray Cat Strut" by Stray Cats: It's possible Todd would not like how literal the lyrics are.
** "The Girl Is Mine" by Michael Jackson and Paul [=McCartney=]: Many people forget that ''this'' was the leadoff single to ''Music/{{Thriller}}'', not "Billie Jean". It's nowadays largely dismissed as nothing more than SnarkBait, or even the one true stain on an otherwise classic album.
** "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo: Hinted in the a-ha OHW.
** "True" by Spandau Ballet: Often regarded as one of the worst songs of all time, due to its lyrics.
** "You Are" by Lionel Richie: Todd generally dislikes Lionel Richie's ballads.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1984 (the year Todd was born):
** "Almost Paradise" by Mike Reno and Ann Wilson
** "Breakdance" by Irene Cara: He's likely to not care for Irene's rapping.
** "Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us" by Ollie & Jerry
** "Give It Up" by KC & the Sunshine Band
** "Got a Hold On Me" by Christine [=McVie=]: Except for "Little Lies", Todd considers [=McVie's=] songs inferior to Stevie Nicks'.
** "Hard Habit to Break" by Chicago: It's got pretty much automatic inclusion.
** "Hello" by Lionel Richie: While the bust in the video is iconic, the song itself gets a lot of flack, and Todd would probably dislike it due to his hatred of the similarly mellow Lionel Richie ballad "Ballerina Girl".
** "I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman: In addition to its somewhat stodgy aesthetic, the message during the chorus is self-contradictory.
** "I Just Called to Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder: Hinted in the "Maniac" OHW episode.
** "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis and the News: He could easily find this overly corny, despite its memorable bassline (that was also the subject of an infamous lawsuit with Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters").
** "If Ever You're In My Arms Again" by Peabo Bryson
** "Infatuation" by Rod Stewart: Todd would likely criticize the shouty vocal melody and stiff beat.
** "Oh Sherrie" by Steve Perry: Consistent with its relative lack of hindsight praise, Todd claimed Steve Perry's '80s solo album is [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1131201339499982849?s=21 way worse]] than his music with Journey.
** "Sad Songs (Say So Much)" by Elton John
** "Say Say Say" by Paul [=McCartney=] and Michael Jackson: Strongly implied in the ''Song vs. Song'' podcast, where Todd gagged upon hearing Dany mention this track's success on the Year-End list.
** "Stuck On You" by Lionel Richie
** "The Heart of Rock & Roll" by Huey Lewis and the News: Despite its rocking, uptempo groove, this is one of the band's more-disparaged songs throughout their career.
** "Think of Laura" by Christopher Cross: Of Christopher Cross' several soft rock tracks from the early '80s, this one seems most likely to fall flat to Todd.
** "Time Will Reveal" by [=DeBarge=]: Todd mentioned, in the Rockwell OHW, that El [=DeBarge=] represented Creator/{{Motown}} being in the midst of a DorkAge during the mid-1980s.
** "Twist of Fate" by Olivia Newton-John
** "Undercover of the Night" by The Rolling Stones: The mid-'80s were not a phenomenal time for the Stones.
** "Yah Mo B There" by James Ingram and Michael [=McDonald=]: While Todd likes Michael [=McDonald=], this track is not one of his better-remembered hits and the gimmicky title could easily put him off.
** "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago: It missed the Year-End list due to coming out late in the year, but it was already in the top 20 by December.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1985:
** "All I Need" by Jack Wagner: A crossover hit by somebody primarily famous for being a television star, similar to "Let Her In" by John Travolta (before his [[Film/SaturdayNightFever film]] [[Film/{{Grease}} breakouts]]).
** "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon: Although Todd hinted sympathy towards REO Speedwagon after Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias butchered "Take It on the Run" for him, this song has a particularly poor general reception, due to its schmaltzy lyrics.
** "Everytime You Go Away" by Paul Young: He [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1154436319755558913?s=20 mocked]] this song's chorus and stated Paul Young is the [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1154438630678679553?s=20 worst quadrant in the [=NeilPaul=] [=SimonYoung=] Punnett square]].
** "Heaven" by Bryan Adams
** "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner
** "Lovergirl" by Teena Marie: Hinted in the Rockwell episode.
** "Method of Modern Love" by Hall & Oates: The spelled-out hook seems likely to sit poorly with Todd.
** "One More Night" by Phil Collins
** "Part-Time Lover" by Stevie Wonder: Todd already mentioned that Stevie Wonder jumped the shark beginning with "I Just Called to Say I Loved You", and this track seems highly representative of his artistic decline, due to its total reliance on synthesizers and drum machines, as well as its bubblegummy lyrics about cheating, which Todd would likely find uncharacteristic of Stevie.
** "Penny Lover" by Lionel Richie: Another Lionel Richie ballad, similar to "Ballerina Girl" (#7 on his Worst of 1987 list).
** "Rhythm of the Night" by [=DeBarge=]
** "Run to You" by Bryan Adams: This song has extremely douchey lyrics, which seem pretty congruous with the impression Todd got of Bryan Adams upon discovering his lawsuit threat against All Music.
** "Sea of Love" by the Honeydrippers
** "Suddenly" by Billy Ocean
** "Sussudio" by Phil Collins: Lyrics this bubblegummy coming from Phil Collins seem like they'd be a recipe for disaster by Todd's standards.
** "Too Late for Goodbyes" by Julian Lennon: A song by an artist who got big due to nepotism. This track in particular is less fondly remembered than "Valotte", Julian's other big hit that year.
** "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham!: Todd unfavorably compared Enrique Iglesias in "I Like It" to Wham!-era George Michael.
** "We Are the World" by USA for Africa
** "We Built This City" by Starship: Frequently cited as the worst song in music history, due not just to its extravagant '80s production and hypocritical lyrics, but also because it's by a band descended from '60s counterculture legends Jefferson Airplane. Todd referenced this SellOut move in his Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 1987 video, and while he actually loves their later hit "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", he's not fond of this.
** "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" by Tina Turner: It's possible Todd would dismiss this song for being a rehash of "What's Love Got to Do with It", except rewritten to [[AwardBaitSong promote]] [[Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome its namesake movie]], although he could also appreciate its lyrics, which are definitely not the same as "What's Love Got to Do with It".
** "Would I Lie to You?" by Eurythmics
** "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago: This needs no introduction.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1986 (Todd tweeted that [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1161505762377641985 he considers this year to be very unimpressive all round]]):
** "All Cried Out" by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam: Todd said he hates everything by this group.
** "Amanda" by Boston
** "Baby Love" by Regina: He's probably consider her a wannabe Madonna.
** "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister: In the "Hey Soul Sister" episode, he called this a "butt-ugly song that never starts."
** "Friends and Lovers" by Gloria Loring and Carl Anderson: Another sappy ballad primarily released to promote a TV sitcom.
** "Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera: Todd has already blasted this song when guesting on Bennett The Sage's "Worst #1 Singles"
** "I'll Be Over You" by Toto
** "I'm Your Man" by Wham!: One of the group's less fondly-remembered songs over the years.
** "Kyrie" by Mr. Mister: Todd [[https://twitter.com/CyQuilp/status/1161506860274507776?s=20 liked]] a tweet criticizing the heavy presence of Mr. Mister and Lionel Richie on the 1986 Year-End list.
** "Love Will Conquer All" by Lionel Richie
** "Nikita" by Elton John: Todd has stated that he dislikes Elton John's ''Ice on Fire'' album.
** "No One Is to Blame" by Howard Jones: Todd would likely deride this ballad's lyrics for comprising mainly of impersonal generalities, which he's typically not a fan of.
** "Party All the Time" by Eddie Murphy: "'Party All the Time' sucks."
** "Sara" by Starship
** "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Richie
** "Spies Like Us" by Paul [=McCartney=]
** "That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne and Friends: Another charity single, which Todd previously stated "suck as a rule."
** "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)" by Billy Ocean: The obvious joke here is that the song merely encourages Todd to listen to a better sad song.
** "Two of Hearts" by Stacey Q: Blatant bubblegum.
** "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going" by Billy Ocean
** "Who's Johnny" by El [=DeBarge=]: Hinted in the "Somebody's Watching Me" episode.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1988:
** "A Groovy Kind of Love" by Phil Collins
** "Could've Been" by Tiffany
** "Don't You Want Me" by Jody Watley
** "Endless Summer Nights" by Richard Marx
** "Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" by Billy Ocean
** "Got My Mind Set On You" by George Harrison: In his ''Song vs. Song'' podcast pitting this against the Beach Boys' "Kokomo", Todd said that while he has a lot of nostalgia for the latter, this song is too repetitive and emotionless, compared to the more interesting original from the early '60s.
** "Hold On to the Nights" by Richard Marx
** "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen: Todd dislikes ''Film/DirtyDancing'' except for "(I've Had) The Time of My Life".
** "I Don't Want to Live Without You" by Foreigner
** "I Don't Wanna Go on with You Like That" by Elton John
** "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love" by Chicago: Pretty much anything Chicago did from 1976 onwards is a sure contender for one of Todd's Worst lists.
** "Monkey" by George Michael: Despite hitting #1, this song is almost completely forgotten today and probably the most Wham!-ish song George Michael recorded during his solo career.
** "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)" by Samantha Fox: She originally became famous as a glamour model, but later parlayed her sex appeal into a hugely successful career as a pop singer. While the heavily derided "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" missed Todd's Worst list for 1987, it's likely Samantha's weak singing voice would catch up to him on this track, due to its more lightweight production and especially because despite being a totally manufactured pop idol, Samantha proclaims herself as edgy on the track, similar to Todd's criticism of *NSYNC's "Pop" in the "Filthy" review.
** "Nothin' but a Good Time" by Poison
** "One Good Woman" by Peter Cetera: Peter Cetera. Enough said.
** "Red Red Wine" by [=UB40=]: Todd cannot ''stand'' this band.
** "Roll with It" by Steve Winwood: This seems like a likely example of what Todd considers lame '80s pop.
** "Shake Your Love", "Out of the Blue", and/or "Foolish Beat" by Debbie Gibson: While "Only In My Dreams" missed his Worst list for 1987, Todd has previously hinted to not like Debbie Gibson.
** "She's Like the Wind" by Patrick Swayze featuring Wendy Fraser: Todd said Patrick Swayze was a terrible singer.
** "Valerie" by Steve Winwood: Younger generations may recognize this song's hook from Eric Prydz's "Call on Me", but it seems like the type of track that would quickly grate on Todd.
** "Wait" by White Lion

* Worts Hit Songs of 1989:
** "18 and Life" by Skid Row: Being a late-era hair metal band that also happens to come from a Christian background, this seems especially likely to make the list.
** "After All" by Cher and Peter Cetera: Anything with Peter Cetera post-1976 is destined for one of Todd's Worst lists.
** "Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley" by Will to Power: A medley of two songs that barely have anything to do with each other. It's one of the worst-rated major hit singles of the late '80s on Rate Your Music.
** "Batdance" by Prince: While the [[Film/Batman1989 movie]] is widely regarded as a classic, this tie-in song is not fondly remembered and often considered the point where Prince's golden age ended.
** "Girl You Know It's True", "Baby Don't Forget My Number", "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You", and/or "Blame It on the Rain" by Milli Vanilli: They're one of the ultimate cases of SnarkBait in music history for pretty obvious reasons, but even overlooking the lip-syncing scandal, these tracks are all really bubblegummy.
** "Hangin' Tough" by New Kids on the Block: Todd [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1161882315435532288?s=20 tweeted]] that this being one of the group's biggest hits could be a reason they didn't get the same nostalgia bump as the Backstreet Boys and N Sync. Also, this is another example of a manufactured bubblegum act trying to be edgy.
** "Heaven" by Warrant
** "Heaven Help Me" by Deon Estus: He was originally the bass player for Wham!, and it's likely Todd wouldn't find much substance in this track.
** "I Like It" by Dino: While Todd loves NewJackSwing music, he'd probably be sub-impressed by this song's lyrics, especially during the chorus.
** "I Wanna Have Some Fun" by Samantha Fox: Despite being one of the first house songs to perform well on the Hot 100, it's not very well-remembered today and Todd would probably be unimpressed by Samantha Fox as a singer.
** "I'll Be Loving You Forever" by New Kids on the Block: Todd noted how terrible Jordan Knight's falsetto sounded on this song.
** "Look Away" by Chicago: Todd will surely express dismay over the fact that this was the #1 song of the year.
** "My Heart Can't Tell You No" by Rod Stewart: Another adult contemporary ballad with extremely by-the-numbers lyrics.
** "On Our Own" by Bobby Brown: The ''[[Film/GhostbustersII Ghostbusters]]'' theme that nobody remembers, in stark contrast to the iconic Ray Parker Jr. song.
** "Real Love" by Jody Watley: It's possible Todd would consider her a poor man's Janet Jackson.
** "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx: This is Richard Marx's SignatureSong. It would probably epitomize schlocky easy listening ballads from the late '80s and early '90s for Todd.
** "Shower Me With Your Love" by Surface: Todd would probably find the lyrics really subpar.
** "Soldier of Love" by Donny Osmond: In the "Jealous" review, Todd called this "too derivative" of George Michael.
** "When I See You Smile" by Bad English
** "When I'm with You" by Sheriff
** "When the Children Cry" by White Lion: In contrast to "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" being delightfully cheesy to Todd, this Hair Metal ballad tries to be much more serious but would likely fail miserably to him.
** "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" by New Kids on the Block: While Todd was pleasantly surprised by their discography after examining them more closely, he still considers this one of of the worst pop songs he's ever heard.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:1990s]]
* Worst Hit Songs of 1990 (one of his least favorite years for pop music, based on what he said in his "Kung Fu Fighting" and "Groove Is in the Heart" episodes):
** "All or Nothing" and/or "Blame It on the Rain" by Milli Vanilli
** “Another Day in Paradise” by Phil Collins: Todd would most likely consider this song incredibly preachy, not helped by its soft, radio-tailored easy listening production.
** "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection" by Nelson: Todd called them a bottom-tier Hair Metal band in the "Party Rock Anthem" episode. Also this duo were a notable example of musical nepotism.
** "Can't Stop" by After 7: It's not especially deep, and the chorus especially could get on Todd's nerves.
** "Don't Know Much" by Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville
** "Everything" by Jody Watley
** "Forever" by Kiss: Though this was Kiss' first real hit in America since "I Wad Made for Lovin' You", it's not indicative of the fun and edge the band had in the '70s. Notably, it was cowritten by Michael Bolton, whose influence over the piece is extremely obvious.
** "Have You Seen Her" by MC Hammer: Todd called Hammer the "Flo Rida of the '90s" due to his forgettable lyrics, so a rap ballad seems particularly likely to make one of Todd's Worst lists.
** "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross
** "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" by Michael Bolton: Although Michael Bolton missed Todd's Worst Hit Songs of 1991 list (he discussed him during the BaitAndSwitch lead-in to his #1 choice), he has still made clear that he doesn't like him, and this is one of his most infamous tracks. Notably, it was originally performed by Laura Branigan in 1983, but Todd would most likely feel Michael sounds way worse on it (even though he wrote the piece).
** "I Remember You" by Skid Row
** "I'll Be Your Everything" by Tommy Page
** "If Wishes Came True" by Sweet Sensation
** "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West: Though some people still remember this sophisti-pop track for being featured in ''Film/PrettyWoman'', the ultra-cheesy lyrics would probably put Todd off.
** "No More Lies" by Michel'le: Todd would likely be critical of this song's ultra-bubblegummy lyrics combined with Michel'le's voice.
** "Love Song" by Tesla: It opens with over a minute of acoustic strumming, and the rest of the song probably wouldn't be over-the-top enough to elevate the trite lyrics.
** "Oh Girl" by Paul Young: Likely to be a cover that pales in comparison to the original to him.
** "Price of Love" by Bad English
** "Ready or Not" by After 7
** "She Ain't Worth It" by Glenn Medeiros and Bobby Brown: Todd put "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" at #2 on his Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 1987 list, and his commentary during the episode implies this song wasn't enough to compensate for it.
** "Swing the Mood" by Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers: Todd hinted in the ''Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 1976'' video that he considers Jive Bunny an awful novelty act.
** "Tic-Tac-Toe" by Kyper: Possibly unlikely because Todd said the Yes sample is effective, despite the terrible lyrics.
** "What Kind of Man Would I Be?" by Chicago

* Worst Hit Songs of 1992:
** “2 Legit 2 Quit” by MC Hammer: Todd cited this as a failed "I'm Back, Bitch" single in the "ME!" Pop Song Review.
** “All 4 Love” by Color Me Badd: While this boyband missed Todd's Worst list for 1991, he hinted to not like them in the "Walking in Memphis" OHW.
** "Black or White" by Michael Jackson: Despite being one of Michael Jackson's most famous songs, Todd hinted in the "This Is America" review that it hasn't aged well due to mainstream understandings of racism having evolved dramatically since the early '90s.
** "Blowing Kisses in the Wind" by Paula Abdul
** “Diamonds and Pearls” by Prince and the New Power Generation
** "Do I Have to Say the Words?" by Bryan Adams: Another generic ballad by Bryan Adams, not helped by its runtime of over 6 minutes.
** “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men: He mocked the video’s aesthetic in the Adina Howard episode, although whether or not that fully extends to the song itself is unknown.
** "Everything Changes" by Kathy Troccoli: A song that already sounded very outdated by 1992, performed by a Christian clone of Taylor Dayne.
** "Good for Me", "That's What Love Is For", and/or "I Will Remember You" by Amy Grant: While "Baby Baby" and "Every Heartbeat" missed Todd's Worst list for 1991, Todd doesn't generally like crossover hits by Christian singers. Additionally, "The Next Time I Fall", which featured Amy Grant, was #3 on his Worst list for 1987.
** "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" by Def Leppard
** “Humpin’ Around” by Bobby Brown: Hinted in the Adina Howard episode. It's likely Todd feels Bobby Brown, of all people, has no right to the complaints he makes throughout this song, due to his antics and troubled relationship with Whitney Houston, not to mention the message causes him to look like a sexist hypocrite when compared to "My Prerogative".
** "How Do You Talk to an Angel" by The Heights: A schmaltzy power ballad that went to #1 because it was part of a TV show. The fact that this got huge at the height of grunge music just adds insult to injury.
** “If You Asked Me To” by Celine Dion
** "Just Another Day" by Jon Secada: Jon Secada seems like the type of pop singer Todd would find too stodgy and clean-cut to get into.
** "Keep Coming Back" by Richard Marx: Another low-key Richard Marx song that would probably put Todd to sleep.
** “Layla” by Eric Clapton: In the Lauryn Hill Trainwreckords, Todd stated he does not like ''MTV Unplugged'' and immediately cited the famous ''Unplugged'' acoustic version of this classic rock song as an example why.
** “She’s Playing Hard to Get” by Hi-Five
** "Slow Motion" by Color Me Badd
** "Take This Heart" by Richard Marx: Although Todd would probably be more forgiving of "Hazard", which is premised around a dark story, this is a much more disposable pop rock track. It may show up on the countdown due to beating out far more relevant and better-remembered songs of the grunge movement for a spot on Billboard's Year-End list such as "Come As You Are", "Even Flow", and "Alive".
** "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do" by Tevin Campbell
** "The One" by Elton John
** “This Used to Be My Playground” by Madonna: Said in the ''Film/ALeagueOfTheirOwn'' Cinemadonna episode that he considers this to be one of her worst ever singles.
** "Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven" by Bryan Adams: Another lengthy, generic Bryan Adams ballad.
** "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Michael Bolton
** "When I Look Into Your Eyes" by [=FireHouse=]

* Worst Hit Songs of 1993:
** "7" by Prince and The New Power Generation: Todd has previously noted that Prince's '90s output wasn't particularly great. The Prince Estate's tight grip on the use of his music might get in the way of putting this on the list, but Todd can still make the song a dishonourable mention, explain that he can't play it and possibly make a TakeThat to the Prince Estate.
** "Angel" by Jon Secada
** "Boom! Shake the Room" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince: He said this song was awkward around the time he was producing the MC Hammer Trainwreckords episode.
** "Can't Help Falling in Love" by [=UB40=]: Todd despises [=UB40=], so this seems like a lock.
** "Dazzey Duks" by Duice: Unlike "Whoomp! (There It Is)", this jock jam hasn't endured in the public consciousness.
** "Do You Believe in Us" by Jon Secada
** "Faithful" by Go West: He's likely to call this the last dying breath of stodgy '80s pop.
** "Fields of Gold" by Sting: It's stylistically similar to "Shape of My Heart", which came from the same album as this.
** "Forever in Love" by Kenny G: "Songbird" was his #1 Worst Hit Song of 1987, but it turns out that wasn't Kenny G's only big Hot 100 hit.
** "Hey Mr. D.J." by Zhané: This seems like a likely representation of how badly Creator/{{Motown}} had fallen since their heyday.
** "I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)" by Exposé: The lyrics here don't seem likely to impress him much.
** "I Got a Man" by Positive K: The dialogue-style rapping here is novel, but also likely to grate on Todd due not only to the repetition, but also because the female part is just the same rapper pitched up.
** "Informer" by Snow: He had less-than-flattering things to say about this in his OHW retrospective of it.
** "Just Kickin' It" by Xscape: He's likely to find this musically dull and lyrically sexist.
** "Lately" by Jodeci: While Todd would probably enjoy Jodeci's other hits, this Stevie Wonder cover could likely turn him off due to its live, multi-part approach, which he could find unfitting for a song like this.
** "Love Is..." by Vanessa Williams and Brian [=McKnight=]
** "Nothin' My Love Can't Fix" by Joey Lawrence: He was the last male teen idol to score a big hit for quite a few years, having once again risen to fame primarily through television.
** "Ooh Child" by Dino: A really peppy, sugarcoated cover of a classic soul song with very heavy implications. Todd would likely cite this to explain why the pop genre was declining at the time.
** "Reason to Believe" by Rod Stewart: Another ''MTV Unplugged'' cover that Todd brought up when mentioning his dislike of the series in the Lauryn Hill episode.
** "Rhythm Is a Dancer" by Snap!: The line "I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer" alone is probably enough to secure it a spot on Todd's list and would almost certainly earn his "Worst Two Seconds" award for the year. He also doesn't like eurodance in general, so the rest of the track probably isn’t enough to make up for that infamous lyric.
** "Saving Forever for You" by Shanice
** "Sweat (A La La La La Long)" by Inner Circle: The chorus here can be easily interpreted as #rapey.
** "Three Little Pigs" by Green Jellÿ: He could find its irony way too heavy-handed.
** "To Love Somebody" by Michael Bolton
** "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors: Many people consider this one of the worst-written alternative rock songs of the 1990s.
** "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes: This is pretty much a guaranteed #1, due to being one of his most hated songs of all time.
** "When She Cries" by Restless Heart

* Worst Hit Songs of 1994:
** “All for Love” by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting: Not only is it another overblown cheesy movie ballad by Bryan Adams, but it's also a collaboration with two other big adult contemporary stalwarts that Todd would consider to be deep in their "suck period" at this point. Todd described this song in the "Don't Call Me Angel" episode as the three artists "combining their evil powers to finally defeat the WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}".
** "Always" by Bon Jovi: Todd groaned in response to Dany reciting this track's opening line in the pilot episode of the ''Song vs. Song'' podcast, sarcastically referring to the '90s as "peak Bon Jovi". The chorus is also extremely drawn out.
** "Always" by Erasure: Its production and composition are both extremely minimalist, and it hasn't stood the test of time like Erasure's '80s hits.
** “Baby, I Love Your Way” by Big Mountain: They’re basically an American version of [=UB40=].
** “Beautiful in My Eyes” by Joshua Kadison: Todd would probably consider this piano ballad too saccharine.
** "Because the Night" by 10,000 Maniacs: An ''MTV Unplugged'' cover by a band whose lead singer Todd has previously stated he dislikes.
** “Bump n’ Grind” by R. Kelly: Despite being regarded as a classic at the time of its release, this song is a very, very blatant example of HarsherInHindsight.
** “Everyday” by Phil Collins: The general consensus is that Phil Collins started to go downhill during the ‘90s.
** “Gangsta Lean” by DRS: A soft R&B ballad with lyrics coming from a thug perspective, making for an odd combination that Todd may easily feel doesn't work.
** “Getto Jam” by Domino: Todd would probably criticize this largely forgotten singer/rapper for lacking the charisma of artists like 2Pac, Nate Dogg, and Snoop Dogg.
** "Groove Thang" by Zhané: Another pop-R&B jam with forgettable lyrics, similar to "Hey Mr. D.J.".
** "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men: A sex song with an extremely clean and polished aesthetic.
** “I’ll Take You There” by General Public: Another [=UB40=]-ish cod reggae cover of a '70s classic.
** "If You Go" by Jon Secada: This was one of the only straight pop songs of the year. Despite being #23 on the Year-End list, it has not remained in the public consciousness.
** "Indian Outlaw" by Tim [=McGraw=]: One of the rare country crossover hits of the early '90s, this could potentially be seen by Todd as #problematic in current times, given that its lyrics are from the POV of a Native American protagonist (sung by the very-much white [=McGraw=]) full of badly-aged Native American stereotypes.
** ”Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm” by Crash Test Dummies: One of the biggest pieces of SnarkBait to come out of the '90s adult alternative movement, due to the cheesy lyrics, anticlimactic chorus, and frontman Brad Roberts' ultra-low singing voice. It's possible Todd could have a huge soft spot for this track, but it's equally likely he'd consider it a big heap of trash.
** "Never Lie" by Immature: The fact that this is a smooth R&B ballad sung by pre-teens far too young to pull off a song like this likely won't go over well with Todd.
** “Now and Forever” by Richard Marx: Todd dislikes Richard Marx, and here he is singing a White Guy with Acoustic Guitar song.
** “Please Forgive Me” by Bryan Adams: Yet another long, radio-pandering adult contemporary ballad from Bryan Adams, continuing in the same style as "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You". The fact that it came out this deep into the 1990s just adds insult to injury.
** “Said I Loved You...But I Lied” by Michael Bolton: Not only is it a sappy easy listening ballad, its lyrics aren’t even very coherent.
** "Shine" by Collective Soul: A religious-tinged, radio-friendly post-grunge song, making it a sort of an early precursor to Creed, albeit nowhere near as infamous.
** “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” by Prince: Todd previously compared Eddie Murphy's ''Love's Alright'' to the Prince's '90s albums, which he dislikes, but since the Prince Estate is adamantly opposed to the use of the singer's music in commentary videos, Todd may be forced to omit it.
** “Your Body’s Callin’” by R. Kelly: Like “Bump n’ Grind”, this song now comes across very poorly, given later revelations about the singer.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1995:
** "Before I Let You Go" by Blackstreet: Despite the enduring popularity of their signature "No Diggity", their second-biggest hit is largely forgotten today, perhaps due to its awkward lyrics, in which Dave Hollister asks his woman to kiss him goodnight instead of telling him goodbye.
** "Believe" by Elton John: It drags on for quite a while and has lyrics Todd would most likely find boring and vapid.
** "Can't Stop Lovin' You" by Van Halen: While discussing ''Van Halen III'', Todd mentioned the band were at a low point by the end of the Sammy Hagar era and specifically pointed to this song as evidence.
** "Carnival" by Natalie Merchant: Hinted in the "Hey Soul Sister" episode.
** "Constantly" by Immature
** "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex: His ''One Hit Wonderland'' retrospective noted that this song's appeal wears extremely thin and that it ultimately comes across as little more than a lame joke of a song.
** "Dream About You" by Stevie B: Todd already put "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)" on his Worst list for 1991, so this second ballad of Stevie B's is naturally bound to be on his countdown for this year.
** "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" by Bryan Adams: Todd dislikes Bryan Adams except for "Summer of '69", and this is basically Adams singing a White Guy with Acoustic Guitar song.
** "He's Mine" by [=MoKenStef=]: He probably wouldn't be into the song's childish tone juxtaposed with the gentle R&B beat.
** "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2: By this point, U2's new electronic direction was declining in approval.
** "Hold On" by Jamie Walters: A highly generic pop ballad by somebody primarily famous for being a TV actor, not a singer.
** "I Believe" by Blessid Union of Souls: Todd would likely consider this an extremely clichéd piano ballad, aside from the shocking final verse.
** "I Live My Life for You" by [=FireHouse=]: Todd will probably be surprised that a hair metal power ballad became a real hit this deep into the '90s, especially since it's by a band that few people remember.
** "In the House of Stone and Light" by Martin Page: A very '80s-esque adult contemporary pop song that Todd would probably consider extremely behind the times.
** "Only Wanna Be with You" by Hootie & The Blowfish
** "Short Dick Man" by 20 Fingers featuring Gillette: This is basically the '90s equivalent of "#SELFIE", featuring lowbrow spoken monologue by a ditzy female over a generic dance beat.
** "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson: This is not one of Michael's better-received songs throughout the years.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1996:
** "Anything" by [=3T=]: More musical nepotism, as they're part of the Jacksons' extended family.
** "Change the World" by Eric Clapton
** "Closer to Free" by [=BoDeans=]: Among '90s adult alternative one-hit wonders, this song has particularly vague and cheesy lyrics, i.e., "everybody one, everybody two, everybody free."
** “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette: Not only did he say ''Jagged Little Pill'' has [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1111137045089583104 aged poorly]], he previously called this song out for title misuse. On the other hand, Todd mentioned on the ''Song vs. Song'' podcast that jokes about "Ironic" are by this point as worn-out as jokes about airline food.
** “Jealousy” by Natalie Merchant
** “Kissin’ You” by Total: If its gentle aura doesn’t do it for Todd, he could possibly find this excruciatingly boring.
** “Last Night” by Az Yet: A polished easy listening ballad that awkwardly describes a sexual encounter in the past tense.
** “Mouth” by Merril Bainbridge: The strange combination of highly sexual lyrics and mellow, Lilith Fair-oriented production is likely to rub Todd the wrong way.
** "My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ's: He may find it underproduced and poorly written.
** “Nobody” by Keith Sweat featuring Athena Cage: Todd would probably find its lyrics too insipid to be sexy.
** “The Earth, the Sun, the Rain” by Color Me Badd: It’s not even a memorably bubblegummy jam like “I Wanna Sex You Up” but rather a sappy easy listening ballad.
** “Time” by Hootie & the Blowfish
** “Touch Me, Tease Me” by Case featuring Foxy Brown: It has one of the most bizarrely erratic beats of any contemporary R&B song to get popular.
** “Until It Sleeps” by Metallica: ''Load'' is generally considered a huge drop in quality for the band, even compared to ''The Black Album''.
** “Who Will Save Your Soul” by Jewel: He called this a failed jab at the superficiality of the modern world.
** "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant
** “You Learn” by Alanis Morissette: Considering Todd does not care for Alanis Morissette, this song’s lyrics seem especially likely to befuddle him.
** “You’re the One” by SWV: A song about cheating that is largely forgotten today.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1997:
** “4 Seasons of Loneliness” by Boyz II Men
** “All Cried Out” by Allure: Todd previously said he dislikes everything by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, who originally performed this song.
** “Building a Mystery” by Sarah [=McLachlan=]
** “Coco Jamboo” by Mr. President: He's likely to consider this cod reggae, not helped by its ultra-cheesy lyrics.
** "Da' Dip" by Freak Nasty: A dance craze song, which hasn't endured like "Macarena" or "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" have.
** "Discotheque" by U2: Similar to Justin Timberlake's "Filthy", this big-sounding, experimental leadoff single to a heavily panned album peaked in the top 10 early on, but then fell off the charts so quickly that it missed the Year-End list.
** “Foolish Games” by Jewel: Todd cites this as an example of Jewel oversinging.
** “For You I Will” by Monica: Another disposable late '90s pop ballad of the style that Todd described in the S Club 7 episode.
** “Get It Together” by 702
** “Go the Distance” by Michael Bolton
** “Gotham City” by R. Kelly: While Todd has generally been able to separate the art from the artist better with R. Kelly than Chris Brown, this is a super cheesy ballad blatantly attached to one of the most infamous movies of all time.
** “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” by Az Yet featuring Peter Cetera: A cover of a Chicago song, although Peter Cetera can barely be heard on this version.
** "I Belong to You (Every Time I See Your Face)" by Rome
** “I Finally Found Someone” by Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams: This easy listening ballad would probably bore him to tears.
** “I Want You” by Savage Garden: He may find it too cheesy.
** "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy and Faith Evans featuring 112: Todd [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/1149793564005720065?s=21 tweeted]] that Puff Daddy is a terrible rapper. He also called the song "horribly awkward" in the "See You Again" episode.
** “Invisible Man” by 98 Degrees: Todd doesn't like this group, and this breakout hit of theirs has lyrics he could easily find awkward or even creepy.
** "Let It Go" by Ray J
** "My Baby Daddy" by B-Rock and the Bizz: An earwormy novelty song of the Miami bass movement.
** “Never Make a Promise” by Dru Hill
** "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" by Elton John: It got big almost entirely because it was billed as a double A-side with "Candle in the Wind 1997".
** “What’s On Tonight” by Montell Jordan: Although Todd loves "This Is How We Do It", the rest of Montell Jordan's discography has been largely forgotten with time. He'd probably consider this a disposable contemporary R&B track.
** “When You Love a Woman” by Journey
** "You Should Be Mine (Don't Waste Your Time)" by Brian [=McKnight=] featuring Mase: It got big primarily through the star power of its guest rapper and is nowhere near Brian [=McKnight's=] best-remembered song. Brian's lyrics take the "nice guy" route that Todd thrashed in the "Treat You Better" episode, while Mase's verse barely even has anything to do with the rest of the track.

* Worst Hit Songs of 1998:
** “A Song for Mama” by Boyz II Men: If this makes the list, expect Todd to mention how it falls flat compared to 2Pac's "Dear Mama".
** “Adia” by Sarah [=McLachlan=]: Todd is not a fan of Sarah [=McLachlan=].
** “Because of You” by 98 Degrees: His comments during the "Pillowtalk" episode suggested he considers 98 Degrees a very lesser boyband.
** “Body Bumpin’ (Yippie-Yi-Yo)” by Public Announcement: "Yippie-yi-yo" is probably not going to be the finest hook for a sex jam to Todd.
** “Come with Me” by Puff Daddy featuring Jimmy Page: A song released to promote the infamously overhyped [[Film/Godzilla1998 American Godzilla]], often regarded as one of the worst and most flatulent uses of sampling by Sean Combs.
** “Heaven” by Nu Flavor
** “How Deep Is Your Love” by Dru Hill featuring Redman: A precursor to the infamous “Thong Song”, but not as memorably catchy, for better or worse.
** "I Don't Ever Want to See You Again" by Uncle Sam
** "I Don't Want to Wait" by Paula Cole: Though it's primarily famous as the theme from ''Series/DawsonsCreek'', Todd would likely consider it a White Chick with Piano ballad.
** “I Got the Hook Up” by Master P featuring Sons of Funk
** “Looking Through Your Eyes” by [=LeAnn=] Rimes
** “Kiss the Rain” by Billie Myers
** “Make ‘Em Say Uhh!” by Master P, Fiend, Silkk the Shocker, Mia X and Mystikal: This is easily one of the most polarizing rap songs of the 1990s, and Todd hinted to feel unfavorably towards Master P in the "Ghetto Supastar" episode.
** “Say It” by Voices of Theory
** “Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground: Todd hinted to not get this song’s appeal in the Van Halen episode.
** “Thank U” by Alanis Morissette: Todd isn't a fan of Alanis, and it's not likely this would be an exception for him.
** “Time After Time” by INOJ: He would likely think this cover spoils the heaviness of the original.
** “Touch It” by Monifah: Its breathy vocals, crassly sexual lyrics, and awkward sample of early '80s techno sound like they would not appeal to his tastes.
** "What You Want" by Mase: Todd hinted to not like Mase at the end of the "Ghetto Supastar" episode, and he'd probably be less impressed by the production here than on the funky "Feel So Good", Biggie-featuring "Mo Money, Mo Problems", and Neptunes-produced "Lookin' at Me".

* Worst Hit Songs of 1999:
** "All I Have to Give" by Backstreet Boys: While Todd prefers the Backstreet Boys over their rivals, this seems like a song he wouldn't buy in the slightest.
** "Amazed" by Lonestar
** "(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You" by *NSYNC: He may choose to include the duet version with Alabama instead, although the original was a bigger hit that year.
** "I Do (Cherish You)" by 98 Degrees
** "I'm Your Angel" by R. Kelly and Celine Dion: In the S Club 7 episode, he listed this among the several forgettable easy listening ballads that dominated the late '90s and early 2000s.
** "It's Not Right but It's Okay" by Whitney Houston: Despite [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead her tragic passing]], Todd put "I'm Your Baby Tonight" on his Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 1991 list, so it's not unlikely he'd give this song a similar treatment, as it doesn't allow her to showcase her immense vocal talent.
** "Music of My Heart" by *NSYNC and Gloria Estefan: This was Gloria Estefan's last big hit on the pop charts before her career became strictly confined to the Latin market. As a duet with *NSYNC, Todd would probably consider it a poor way to go out.
** “No Pigeons” by Sporty Thievz: A response song to TLC's feminist classic "No Scrubs" from a male perspective. It didn't make the year-end list, but it did peak at #12.
** "Satisfy You" by Puff Daddy featuring R. Kelly: Despite hitting #2, this song got terrible reviews and was the point when Puff Daddy sank from being the biggest pop rapper in the world to a B-tier act.
** "She's All I Ever Had" by Ricky Martin: In the S Club 7 episode, he listed this among the several forgettable easy listening ballads that dominated the late '90s and early 2000s.
** "Sometimes" by Britney Spears: Todd mentioned in the "3" review that there never was an innocent Britney, despite this song's attempt at conveying so.
** "Stay the Same" by Joey [=McIntyre=]: He seemed dismissive of this song in his "Give It To You" review.
** "Summer Girls" by LFO: Probably the most obvious choice possible due to its bizarre NonSequitur lyrics. Todd may also complain that the abundance of references to the 1980s and early 1990s make the song age poorly, on top of its other flaws.
** "Take Me There" by Blackstreet featuring Mýa, Mase and Blinky Blink: A tie-in pop song to ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'', not only sampling the original cartoon's theme song, but also featuring a rap verse specifically focused on the characters. Overall, this seems like something Todd would consider corporate kitsch and a huge downgrade from the same group that released the notably edgy "No Diggity".
** "The Hardest Thing" by 98 Degrees
** "Who Dat" by JT Money featuring Solé
[[/folder]]

[[folder:2000s]]
* Worst Hit Songs of 2000:
** "Back Here" by [=BBMak=]: Hinted in the "What Do You Mean? vs. Stitches" episode.
** "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65: Todd wanted to skip covering this song on OHW.
** "Bring It All to Me" by Blaque featuring JC Chasez: JC's guest parts in particular seem like they would bring this song down, especially when he brags about his "thug appeal", similar to Train in "Hey Soul Sister".
** "Bounce with Me" by Lil Bow Wow featuring Xscape: It came out back when Bow Wow was still just a little kid and has not retained popularity like Kris Kross' "Jump" has.
** "The Christmas Shoes" by [=NewSong=]: While it only made #42 on the Hot 100 chart, it's infamous for being {{Glurge}} and Todd has called it "the bleakest, most soul-crushingly nihilistic song I've ever heard" [[https://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/676241832720924674 on Twitter]], so it's an obvious pick for a dishonourable mention.
** "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" by Christina Aguilera: A likely example of what Todd would consider Christina oversinging.
** "Don't Think I'm Not" by Kandi: Todd would probably consider this to be a heavily misguided feminist anthem whose premise of openly mutual cheating doesn't make any sense.
** "Get It On Tonite" by Montell Jordan: While Todd likes "This Is How We Do It", this track is less fondly remembered; it's likely the lyrics would not sit well with him.
** “Girl on TV” by LFO: The lyrics here are just as random and cheesy as "Summer Girls", but the premise is arguably even more ridiculous.
** "Higher" by Creed: Implied in the ''Song vs. Song'' podcast, where he claims that Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Going Down" 'rescued' the main guitar riff.
** "How Do You Like Me Now?" by Toby Keith: Stated to be one of his most hated songs of all time in his FAQ.
** "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden: Not only is it a late '90s/early 2000s easy listening ballad, Todd would probably take huge issue with the line, "I knew I loved you before I met you."
** "I Like It" by Sammie: He was featured on "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" with Soulja Boy, which was #6 on Todd's Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2009 list.
** "I Turn to You" by Christina Aguilera: In the S Club 7 episode, he listed this among the several forgettable easy listening ballads that dominated the late '90s and early 2000s.
** "Independent Women" by Destiny's Child: He name checked it as a Beyoncé song he hated in the Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2009, although it's likely the track has grown on him because he enjoys Bey way more now than he did when he started reviewing music. In the "Don't Call Me Angel" review, he merely said that he couldn't relate to the song, so it seems that his dislike for the song has dissipated over time.
** "It's Gonna Be Me" by *NSYNC
** "Swear It Again" by Westlife: Todd utterly abhors Westlife's "Flying without Wings", citing it as a primary example of UK pop music being at a lowpoint around the new millennium due to an oversaturation of easy listening ballads (though Westlife are actually Irish, they were hugely popular in Britain). This track is of the same style as that song.
** "Thong Song" by Sisqó: Todd has stated that despite its sexualized themes, the song has [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1144270469828370434 "only ever been about underwear."]] He also mentioned he can't stand this track on the ''Song vs. Song'' podcast.
** "What a Girl Wants" by Christina Aguilera
** "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed
** "You Sang to Me" by Marc Anthony: While "I Need to Know" is still very popular, Marc's other big pop crossover hit, a disposable easy listening ballad, is pretty much totally forgotten now. Todd would probably be irked by the title.

* Worst Hit Songs of 2001 (one of his least favorite years for pop music, based on what he said in his "Kung Fu Fighting" episode):
** "All or Nothing" by O-Town: Their ridiculously cheesy "Liquid Dreams" also charted in the top 20 this year, but missed the year-end list.
** "Drops of Jupiter" by Train: Mockingly called it "Droppings of Jupiter" in the "Hey Soul Sister" review.
** "Follow Me" by Uncle Kracker
** "He Loves U Not" by Dream: This seems likely to remind him of high school cattiness, similar to "Want U Back".
** "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)" by Blu Cantrell: He could dislike this for similar reasons he despises "Before He Cheats", as it's another TakeThat aimed at a disloyal man that's so over the top that it could make her too unlikable for him to sympathize with.
** "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback: It got big too late to appear on the Year-End list, but it made it to #1 before the year was over.
** "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack: Another easy listening ballad that Todd could find schmaltzy, especially due to its premise.
** "I Wanna Be Bad" by Willa Ford: Todd doesn't generally have the stomach for teen pop that tries to sell itself as edgy through lyrics alone.
** "I'm Already There" by Lonestar: He played this song while talking about how he outgrew country music due to its blandness.
** "I'm Real" and/or "Love Don't Cost a Thing" by Jennifer Lopez: While "Play" is a pretty innocuous party jam, these two songs play into the theme of J.Lo being "real", something Todd doesn’t buy at all. In the case of "I'm Real", it's likely Todd would go with the Murder Remix with Ja Rule, as despite essentially being a completely different song from the original, it's the most famous version, not to mention the contrast between Ja Rule's aggression and the fluttery, sugarcoated production built around samples of the Mary Jane Girls and Rick James seems likely to come off as disjointed to Todd.
** "It's Been Awhile" by Staind: Todd has mentioned this song quite a few times as an example of bad early 2000s rock.
** "Lady Marmalade" by Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa and Pink: A super glossy, commercialized remake of a '70s classic attached to ''Film/MoulinRouge''.
** "Loverboy" by Mariah Carey: Widely regarded to be the low point of Mariah's career, as he already touched upon in his ''Glitter'' review.
** "My Baby" by Lil' Romeo: Not only was Romeo still a kid at the time of this song's release, the track got big due to nepotism, as he is the son of Master P.
** "Never Had a Dream Come True" by S Club 7: Possibly unlikely because even though it's a very boring song to him, in a year he already hates so much, he at least likes the opening line and commends Jo's singing on it.
** "Oochie Wally" by Nas and Bravehearts: Sadly one of Nas' biggest Billboard hits, emblematic of his brief DorkAge between ''Nastradamus'' and his [[CareerResurrection comeback album]] at the end of the year, ''Stillmatic''.
** "Peaches & Cream" by 112: He'd likely criticize the awkward production and sexual metaphors.
** "Pop" by *NSYNC: In his "Filthy" review, not only did he reaffirm his hatred of *NSYNC, he singled this out as their worst song. While it missed the year-end list, it still peaked in the top 20 that year.
** "The Space Between" by Dave Matthews Band: A song derided for being the band's sellout moment, due to its post-grunge-influenced sound.
** "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill: In the S Club 7 episode, he listed this among the several forgettable easy listening ballads that dominated the late '90s and early 2000s.
** "This I Promise You" by *NSYNC: An *NSYNC ballad written by Richard Marx, hinted in the "Filthy" episode.
** "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling: Like Nickelback, it missed the Year-End list because it appeared late on the charts, but it made the top 20 before the start of 2002.

* Worst Hit Songs of 2002:
** "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson: Stated in the ''Song vs. Song'' podcast that the song itself is awful, but credits Kelly for doing a good job of selling it.
** "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton: Todd considers "Ordinary Day" a major example of a White Chick with Piano ballad, and this signature hit of hers is of the same style.
** "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd
** "Butterflies" by Michael Jackson: The King of Pop’s final song to reach the top 40 while he was still alive, lifted from the lukewarm-received ''Invincible'' album. While "You Rock My World" is still somewhat defended today, this track has not stood the test of time for most and could easily appear on the list due to being a disappointment by Michael Jackson standards.
** "Escape" by Enrique Iglesias: He has previously compared this song to "Tonight (I'm F***ing You)" due to its lyrics.
** "Gone" by *NSYNC
** "Hands Clean" by Alanis Morissette: Todd does not like Alanis Morissette, even during her peak years, so it’s unlikely he’d have very warm feelings about this more radio-polished hit from her waning years of relevance.
** "Hero" by Chad Kroeger featuring Josey Scott
** "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback: While Todd has previously associated it with 2001, it was the #1 song of 2002.
** "Just a Friend 2002" by Mario: Hinted in the "Break Up" Pop Song Review.
** "My Sacrifice" by Creed
** "No Such Thing" by John Mayer
** "Superman (It's Not Easy)" by Five for Fighting: Todd hinted to not like this song in the "7 Years" Pop Song Review, specifically criticizing the vocals.
** "Underneath Your Clothes" by Shakira: This is likely an example of what Todd would consider to be Shakira at her worst, "oversinging and questionable songwriting choices".
** "Wasting My Time" by Default
** "Whenever, Wherever" by Shakira: Todd used this song as a bad example of her work in the ''0304'' episode.
** "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling: It came out in 2001, but didn't show up on the Year-End list until this year.

* Worst Hit Songs of 2003:
** "21 Questions" by 50 Cent featuring Nate Dogg
** "American Life" by Madonna: Todd panned it and called it Madonna's worst single. It wasn't a hit -- it barely reached the top 40 -- but he's likely to think it's worth making an honorable mention because it's notable that a lead single from Madonna only reached #37.
** "Big Yellow Taxi" by Counting Crows featuring Vanessa Carlton: Although the original by Joni Mitchell is an all-time classic and Todd likes Counting Crows, this cover is fairly infamous due to its incredibly peppy, radio-tailored production, complete with an additional "Ooooh, bop bop bop" interlude from Vanessa Carlton, who Todd dislikes. He may dislike this for similar reasons as "The Night Chicago Died", another song with grim subject matter yet giddily poppy delivery.
** "Calling All Angels" by Train: Said that it was "written specifically to soundtrack TV promos on the Hallmark Channel" in the "Hey Soul Sister" review.
** "Clocks" by Coldplay: While mostly well-regarded, Todd has made no secret of his dislike for Coldplay's pre-''Viva La Vida'' material.
** "Drift Away" by Uncle Kracker
** "Flying Without Wings" by Ruben Studdard: In the "Never Had a Dream Come True" episode, it was revealed he absolutely ''loathed'' the original version by Westlife. It's highly unlikely Ruben's cover would sit much better for him.
** "If You’re Not the One" by Daniel Bedingfield: It's likely Bedingfield's voice would grate on Todd, not helped by the song itself being a slow MOR ballad.
** "In da Club" by 50 Cent: He doesn't like club songs, and he doesn't like 50 Cent.
** "In Those Jeans" by Ginuwine: The incredibly cheesy lyrics here seem likely to befuddle him.
** "Intuition" by Jewel: Likely #1, due to how hard he went on it in his ''0304'' episode.
** "Jenny from the Block" by Jennifer Lopez: Hinted in the "7 Rings" episode.
** "Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)" by Lumidee: A one-hit wonder notorious for her weak singing voice, not to mention the song's beat being recycled from Sean Paul's "Get Busy" and Wayne Wonder's "No Letting Go", both of which were also hit songs from 2003.
** "P.I.M.P." by 50 Cent
** "Right Thurr" by Chingy
** "She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd
** "This Is the Night" by Clay Aiken
** “Wanksta” by 50 Cent
** "Your Body Is a Wonderland" by John Mayer: Said in the "Tonight (I'm F***ing You)" review that he doesn't like this song.

* Worst Hit Songs of 2005:
** “Baby I’m Back” by Baby Bash featuring Akon
** “Back Then” by Mike Jones
** "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse [=McCartney=]
** "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent featuring Olivia: Not only does Todd not like 50 Cent, but he also referred to this song when describing his hatred of Scott Storch's production in the "Worst Hit Songs of 2004" video.
** "Cater 2 U" by Destiny's Child: Namechecked as one of the Destiny's Child songs he detests in the "Worst Hit Songs of 2009" video.
** “Chariot” by Gavin [=DeGraw=]
** "Collide" by Howie Day
** "Daughters" by John Mayer: Hinted in the "Lazy Song" episode.
** “Disco Inferno” by 50 Cent
** "Don't Cha" by Pussycat Dolls featuring Busta Rhymes: He reportedly dislikes the Pussycat Dolls, although it's likely Busta would improve the track for him as he partially rescued "Look at Me Now".
** “Don’t Lie” by The Black Eyed Peas
** "Get Right" by Jennifer Lopez featuring Fabolous
** "Grind with Me" by Pretty Ricky
** “I Don’t Want to Be” by Gavin [=DeGraw=]
** “I’m Sprung” by T-Pain
** "Inside Your Heaven" by Carrie Underwood: Stated in the ''Song vs. Song'' podcast that he thinks it's awful.
** "Just a Lil Bit" by 50 Cent
** "Just the Girl" by The Click Five: At the end of the "Tonight, Tonight" review, he implicitly called The Click Five a throwaway act.
** "Let Me Love You" by Mario: He called this "terribly forgettable" in the "Break Up" review.
** “Lonely” by Akon

** "Over and Over" by Nelly featuring Tim [=McGraw=]: Originally hinted in the "Cruise (Remix)" episode, it missed Todd's countdown for 2004, but it's likely he hates it more now than he did back when he recorded that video in 2012, as in the "Old Town Road" episode, he called it the "forerunner to the modern, bland mono-genre" that has ruined pop music in recent years.
