Most Overrated Hits of 2016

Attention!!!

Overrated means giving something more value than it deserves. In the music industry this is usually the case, if the songs are by popular artists. Sometimes artists such as Adele, Beyonce and Bruno Mars can never get it wrong. While it may just be myself, but the past year there were certain songs that reached hit status when they should not have. EDM took a drastic wrong turn somewhere as now with the Chainsmokers mainstream influence on the genre, it has merged with Pop. The same goes for Dancehall, Reggae and Rock. Purity is lost on the Millennials as one can wonder whether the kids these days actually have any taste in music or whether the music should only cater to “tripping”.

The Most Overrated Hits will become a staple addition to the year-end compilations henceforth as well as the Most Underrated Songs that will follow this post. Lukas Graham’s 7 Years tops this list as I have absolutely no idea whatsoever why this song became a hit. This is followed by The Chainsmokers and Halsey collaboration Closer and Beyonce’s Formation. Rihanna and Drake have two entries each on this list. So here are the 20 most overrated hits of the past year:
  1. Lukas Graham – 7 years
  2. The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey – Closer
  3. Beyonce – Formation
  4. Fifth Harmony ft. Fetty Wap – All in my head (flex)
  5. Rihanna – Needed me
  6. Kent Jones – Don’t mind
  7. Flume ft. Kai – Never be like you
  8. Drake ft. Wizkid & Kyla – One dance
  9. Coldplay – Adventure of a lifetime
  10. Shawn Mendes – Treat you better
  11. Adele – Send my love (to your new lover)
  12. Desiigner – Panda
  13. Meghan Trainor – No
  14. Future ft. The Weeknd – Low life
  15. Nick Jonas ft. Tove Lo – Close
  16. Little Mix – Shout out to my ex
  17. Bruno Mars – 24K magic
  18. Rae Sremmurd ft. Gucci Mane – Black Beatles
  19. Drake – Controlla
  20. Rihanna ft. Drake – Work 
Till the next chord...

At Ease!!!
