Of course these are not the worst singles of all time.
Most people have never heard the worst singles of all time-- like "The Times
They Are A'Changin'" by Rabbi Abraham Feinberg, or "Clouds" by Leonard Nimoy
or "Big Yellow Taxi" by Bob Dylan-- because they simply have never been
played on the radio.
So, actually, these are songs that stink even though they
were massively promoted and acquired a certain following.
- Wonder Wall (Oasis)
- Seasons in the Sun (Terry Jacks)
- I Write the Songs (Barry Manilow)
- The Night Chicago Died (Paper Lace)
- Honey (Bobby Goldsboro)
I am I said (Neil Diamond)
- Cracklin' Rosie (Neil Diamond)
- Candle in the Wind 1997 (Elton John)
- Popcorn (Hot Butter)
- Achy Breaky Heart (Billy Ray Cyrus)
- Smells Like Teen Spirit (Paul Anka)
