These ten songs were just too much for TUA to bear – or anyone else (see 2014 list here).

10. Pia Mia (feat. Chris Brown and Tyga) – Do It Again
Despite aiming for mainstream charts, Chris Brown and Tyga’s appearance on this song found newcomer Pia trying way too hard.

---

9. Ciara – Paint It Black (Rolling Stones Cover)
Ciara’s been releasing pointless songs most of 2015, but this horrific cover of the Rolling Stones’ classic stood out as the worst.

---

8. Wiz Khalifa and Iggy Azalea – Go Hard Or Go Home
Wiz already isn’t the best lyricist out there, but pairing his talents with Iggy Azalea was one of the biggest flops of the year.

---

7. Ariana Grande – Focus
It’s not that Ariana’s “Focus” was terrible, but it mirrored too many elements from her most recent hit “Problem” to be taken seriously.

---

6. Rita Ora (feat. Chris Brown) – Body On Me
Rita falls into the same category as Pia – featuring Chris Brown in a tragic effort to break into the urban mainstream charts – but with worse results.

---

5. Fifth Harmony (feat. Kid Ink) – Worth It
Fifth Harmony is (without question) the cheapest act to come from X Factor, but featuring the #signaturearianahorns formula didn’t work in their favor.

---

4. R. Kelly – Backyard Party
The tried-and-true #stepinthenameoflove formula doesn’t work well at all here, but at least R. Kelly is still trying.

---

3. Britney Spears (feat. Iggy Azalea) – Pretty Girls
As if a Britney/Iggy collaboration didn’t scare listeners enough, there’s an even weirder video featuring co-director Iggy as a supernatural alien.

---

2. Meghan Trainor – Dear Future Husband
Meghan’s third single has a song/video combination that’s equally bad as with “Pretty Girls”, but its single treatment after a somewhat decent follow-up seriously questions her relevancy.

---

1. K. Michelle – Maybe I Should Call
While K. Michelle’s VH1 platform continues to hide the fact that she’s not the greatest singer, “Maybe I Should Call” is a poor attempt at trying to create timeless R&B.
