Went to a Yankee wedding in New Orleans(where i'm from). This tune came on and those people went nuts. Knew every word and I just stared in amazement.
Yeah as someone who has spent almost their whole life in the Carolinas I am sick to death of that song, especially when people do the little singalong bits.

All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. It is the only song I seriously hate, and also the only artist I seriously hate hearing. I don't love the message, and Ialso don't like the delivery at all. I think a factor is also how overplayed it was when it first came out.
plus she took Ozempic to lose weight, so she wasnt all about that base at all, lol
"I'll be riding shotgun, underneath the hot sun".... It's the most aggressively boring thing I've ever heard

All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun by Sheryl Crow, or any song where the artist is doing that annoying kind-of-singing-but-also-just-talking thing (NOT to be confused with rap, I do enjoy lots of rap and hip-hop). It's hard to explain. I think Red Hot Chili Peppers has a song where they do it too, and it annoys the fuck outta me.
Heyyyyy brotherrrrrr.....
Hey Soul Sister by Train.
I was gonna say Happy by Pharrel Williams but someone else said Sweet Caroline and I might have to change my vote. Actually it's not that terrible of a song (Sweet Caroline I mean), but hearing it played at weddings and sporting events and then they pause it so everyone can scream BUM BUM BUMMM does get to me after the 5 millionth time.
Dancing Queen by Abba. Something about the baseline makes me feel physically sick (literally, not figuratively). Can't bear it.
Anything by Morrissey. The histrionics are annoying enough but I think he's an objectively bad musician. He seems to just meander around with no discernable melody. Like, what are you even trying to do man? I'm pretty certain the actually catchy Smiths songs were written by someone else.
Runner up: Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish. If it comes on at a place of business I will immediately walk out of that business.
Dance Monkey, for personal reasons
Whichever 21 Pilots "song" was played most recently in my vicinity.
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
The Piña Colada Song.
It enrages me. I hear the first note and I want to break a window. If it comes on in the car, I almost break my wrist with how quickly I turn it off.
Knocking on heavens door - guns and roses
Most Justin Bieber songs but I despise his early stuff. I heard baby way too much back when you couldn't escape it
Edit: I thought of an even worse one, pon pon shit from cyberpunk. That song is the only reason bodyheat isn't my go to station in that game.
“I’m blue da da Dee da da da. “
Just typing it out makes me cringe.
Currently, that shitty pop song that sampled "Blue" by Eiffle 65. It was already a perfectly good club song (imo) and there was no need to ruin it.
Guns ‘N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle. I don’t like GNR full stop, but the radio station I used to wake up to on the alarm clock would play that song at exactly the same time everyday.
Couldn’t understand why I used to wake up angry every morning until I changed stations.

You’re in the jungle baby!
