10 More Elvis Re-issues
Does anyone really care about these? I'm sure everyone is well aware that he's one of the most influential artists ever, whether you like him or not, but we don't need to be reminded everytime some pathetic anniversary comes up. He's been dead ages now, leave him to rest!
09 The Spice Girls
As if they weren't bad enough first time around they reformed this year and managed to release something even worse which no one cared about, and rightly so. Considering they're one of the 'biggest' acts of the last 15 years it really shows how God-Awful they are that they had the worst ever performing CIN single. FLOP.
08 Westlife (the continued success of)
Now they don't offend me anywhere near as much as they seem to do to a lot of people. But they are c**p and I fail to understand why so many people want their albums every year when they all sound EXACTLY THE SAME.
07 Cascada
It really shows how bad the state of music is when an act as awful and cheesy as these can have two albums that sell really well. What happened to proper dance and pop? Lowest common denominator stuff. Really is.
06 X-Factor
Get rid of it now. It's become tired, old and dull. This years was the 10th TV talent show. Surely everyone with even the slightest bit of talent will have auditioned now? As proved by the absolutely APPALING final 12 this year. Get rid.
05 The Fray
And the award to the most boring act of the year/decade...
04 Charity Duets
There have been three high profile ones this year. All have reached number one and they are easily the three worst number ones of the year. The Proclaimers was funny once, but its novelty value wore thin extremely quickly. Then we have the dull as dishwater Melua/Cassidy duet currently in the top 3. Actually, forget what I said about The Fray. THAT is the most boring song of the year, easily. Its sole purpose (apart from charity, obviously) is to make housewives wet. But worst of all is of course Girls Aloud & Sugababes. One of the worst songs EVER. The two finest girl groups of the decade (and in my opinion, ever) duetting, there was the foundations of a pop classic. Xenomania could have written a pop classic which could've sold loads and been regarded not only as one of the finest ever charity songs but one of the finest ever pop songs. But instead they KILLED a RunDMC/Aerosmith classic about perving on girls in the changing room. The (very) low point of both of their careers.
03 Radio 1
Once again, they sink to new lows. The Djs get worse and the songs they play go in the same direction. They're supposed to be the frontrunners in championing new music yet they're only third of all BBC stations with Radio 2 and 6Music being a hell of a lot further ahead. Instead their DJs find it much better to promote utter TOSH such as Billie Piper, Space Pirates, Soulja Boy, El Chombo and Jonny Trunk & Wisby (which wasn't even original!). They don't playlist New Young Pony Club because 'they sound like CSS'. So that's two acts on the playlist (which will be C-List, highest) that sound like each other. Can't have that, eh? Especially when they A-List every song by the oh so different Twang, Pigeon Detectives, Kaiser Chiefs, Enemy, Reverend & The Makers etc. ALL SO DIFFERENTIATED. 'I Found Out' was released about 8 weeks ago and MISSED THE TOP 40 yet is STILL A-Listed. Now I like it but what's the point? It wasn't popular then, why would it be now? And then they go and sensor The Pogues (though yes, probably just for publicity) because they say faggot yet it's perfectly fine to A-List....
02 Soulja Boy
A song about ejaculating over a girls back whilst she sleeps and sticking the sheet on it so she has a cape. Vile, disgusting and offensive. By far the worst single released this year. If not, ever. Utterly repulsive and anyone that likes it must surely need some kind of help.
But worst of all...
01 Commercial Indie-Pop
Mainly Orson, The Hoosiers, Maroon 5 and Scouting For Girls. All absolutely dreadful bands yet for some unknown reason people seem to like this repetitive, rip-off nonsence. There's nothing wrong with indie bands making pop songs. The Shins and Rilo Kiley have done it brilliantly this year but these are just appaling. Completely unoriginal and not one redeaming feature. Anyone could have wrtitten 'She's So Lovely'.
