a Nick O!: The Worst Songs of 2004

[a Nick O!]

I don't believe I ever put this up anywhere: probably because in January my girlfriend took a liking to "Balla Baby" by Chingy; I just couldn't hate it anymore 'cause it was so cute to watch her enjoy it. I would've taken it off and replaced it, but I had no record anymore of what #51 would have been. Then laziness and irrelevance set in for the rest of the year. Anyway these were the songs I hated the most last year:

01 Trillville f/ Lil Scrappy & Lil Jon "Neva Eva" [2003: #3]
02 Sarah Connor "Bounce"
03 Twista f/ R. Kelly "So Sexy"
04 Cassidy f/ Mashonda "Get No Better"
05 Nelly f/ the St. Lunatics "E.I. (The Tipdrill Remix)" [2003: #4]
06 Big Tymers f/ Jazze Pha "No Love (Beautiful Life)"
07 Frankee "F.U.R.B. (F U Right Back)"
08 Saliva "Survival of the Sickest"
09 Nickelback "Figured You Out" [2003: #12]
10 Jamie Cullum "Frontin' "
11 Nick Cannon f/ R. Kelly "Gigolo" [2003: #7]
12 Dem Franchize Boyz "White Tee"
13 Cassidy f/ R. Kelly "Hotel" [2003: #23]
14 Jessica Simpson "Angels"
15 Jessica Simpson "Take My Breath Away"
16 Beenie Man f/ [Shawnna &] Ms. Thing "Dude [The Remix]"
17 Eamon "F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)" [2003: #39]
18 Jennifer Lopez f/ R. Kelly "Baby I Love U! (R. Kelly Remix)"
19 Destiny's Child f/ T.I. & Lil Wayne "Soldier"
20 Toby Keith "Stays in Mexico"
21 Lloyd Banks "I'm So Fly"
22 Ashlee Simpson "Shadow"
23 Jim Jones f/ Cam'ron, Bezel [& The Game] "Certified Gangstas [Remix]"
24 Murphy Lee f/ Jazze Pha & Sleepy Brown "Luv Me Baby"
25 Nitty "Nasty Girl"
26 Jet "Rollover D.J."
27 Chingy "Balla Baby"*
28 Instruction "Breakdown"
29 Ruben Studdard "Sorry 2004"
30 B.G. "My World 'I Want It' "
31 Future Leaders of the World "Let Me Out"
32 Elephant Man f/ Twista, YoungBloodz & Kiprich "Jook Gal (Head Gawn Remix)"
33 Modern Day Zero "Sick Inside"
34 R. Kelly "Happy People"
35 Lloyd f/ Ashanti "Southside"
36 The Darkness "Growing on Me"
37 Mannie Fresh "Real Big"
38 Black Eyed Peas "Let's Get It Started"
39 Beenie Man "King of the Dancehall"
40 Juvenile, Wacko & Skip "Nolia Clap"
41 T.I. f/ Jazze Pha "Let's Get Away"
42 Puddle of Mudd "Heel Over Head"
43 Lindsay Lohan "Rumors"
44 B2K f/ Fabolous "Badaboom"
45 FeFe Dobson "Everything"
46 Jet "Cold Hard Bitch"
47 G-Unit f/ Joe "Wanna Get to Know You"
48 Britney Spears "My Prerogative"
49 Maria Mena "You're the Only One"
50 Murphy Lee f/ Jermaine Dupri Wat Da Hook Gon Be" [2003: #44]

Good to see my top two songs appeared on yours .
I agree with most of these.

For me, Dem Franchize Boyz are too stupid and silly for me to take seriously, let alone hate very much. But I also find "Growing on Me" to be somewhat humorous, so I let that one go. "Cold Hard Bitch" is dumb but for some reason I kind of enjoyed that one. "Rollover" is kind of the same song to me.

Both Jessica covers were also right next to each other on my chart.

FeFe should've been on mine, but for some reason I didn't include it.

These songs made my top 50 (of the weekly "good" chart):

03 Twista f/ R. Kelly "So Sexy"
09 Nickelback "Figured You Out" [2003: #12]
17 Eamon "F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)" [2003: #39]
36 The Darkness "Growing on Me"
38 Black Eyed Peas "Let's Get It Started"
45 FeFe Dobson "Everything"
46 Jet "Cold Hard Bitch"
49 Maria Mena "You're the Only One"

Only two of these made it above #38 on a weekly chart: "Let's Get It Started" (#23) and "Cold Hard Bitch" (#11).

I would have probably put the following on my worst list:

07 Frankee "F.U.R.B. (F U Right Back)"
11 Nick Cannon f/ R. Kelly "Gigolo" [2003: #7]
13 Cassidy f/ R. Kelly "Hotel" [2003: #23]
14 Jessica Simpson "Angels"
19 Destiny's Child f/ T.I. & Lil Wayne "Soldier"
31 Future Leaders of the World "Let Me Out"
35 Lloyd f/ Ashanti "Southside"
50 Murphy Lee f/ Jermaine Dupri "Wat Da Hook Gon Be" [2003: #44]

All of those except maybe "Southside" (which I just didn't hear a whole lot) and "Wat Da Hook Gon Be" (which I started to just slightly tolerate near the very end of the year) would have been in my top 10. "Angels" and "Soldier" were my two least favorite songs of the year.

I didn't hear "Certified Gangstas" until March of this year. It's not an artistically good song by any means, but I was amused by how blatantly, well, gangsta it is. I would have charted the song had it not been nearly a year old at the time.

[The Duality Of Man]

I think I've heard 5 of those songs total.

Something tells me I should be happy about that.

No way dude. I hated pretty much his album, including that remake of "High and Dry," but loved this one.

I don't mind "Rollover DJ," but agree with most of the rest of them, of the ones I've heard. "f*** It" made my Top 100 good songs, but that's because he had a few weeks on my chart before he pulled that Frankee stunt which made them both unlistenable.

I just didn't think the song lent itself to a jazzy, dusky-voiced, white-guy pop cover...at all.
