DrogeMiester's LEAST FAVORITE Songs of 2018

Earlier this week, on New Year's Day to be exact, I released my top 10 favorite songs of 2018. That list is one that I worked hard on for nearly a week as I slowly whittled down my field of 80 songs to a top 10 list with 10 additional honorable mentions. Yes, it was a long process, but it was one I thoroughly enjoyed. Yet right after I posted that, my mind then started to focus on what naturally comes next. The list of my least favorite songs. And as I thought about it, I honestly wondered if it was even worth it. I don't know if you've noticed recently, but in my weekly Billboard Analysis segment, I have started to straight-up ignore a lot of the songs that I don't want to listen to from artists that I know I will hate. So yeah, you can say that the a lot of the songs in 2018 were so bad that it broke me. The idea of going back and carefully wading through all of that trash filled me with dread because doing so always gives me such a bad, disgusting feeling. Posting the videos of the songs also feels wrong because then I'm subjecting my viewers to content that is as close to porn as YouTube will allow. So in what might be a surprising twist of events, I'm not ranking my least favorite songs this year, which is why you noticed that words "top 10" are missing from this blog title.

So then what is this? Oh, this is actually quite fun. What you might not know is that every time I talk about a new arrival on my Billboard Analysis segment, I give that song a letter grade. But not publicly. I do it privately on in Excel sheet. Doing so helps me more easily organize all of the songs that debut, which then makes the end of year lists a lot easier. I thought about posted those grades in the new arrivals section, but I don't want people to get too focused on the grade and not on what I actually wrote about the song. But I still assign a grade for organizational purposes. Well, this list here is a list of songs that debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018 that I gave a grade of a D- or an F to, ranked in alphabetical order. Doing this means that I am able to still complain about all the bad songs in a post like this without having to go back and re-listen to all of them to figure out how they actually stack up. But prepare yourself. There's 53 of them. For context, 598 songs debuted on the Hot 100 this year, a number heavily inflated by album bombs that just refused to stop coming.
