While this year was a quiet one for Worst of Music posts on the blog (the only one was Avril Lavigne’s Hello Kitty), that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a whole pile of bad music this year.
Since most of the internet has gone into year-in-review mode, I thought that we’d do our usual retrospective of the worst music of 2014. But why do I have to do anything when I can use DJ Earworm’s annual mashup of 25 of the top pop hits of the year to recap the year in bad music.
And here are the songs in this year’s United States of Pop mashup:
A Great Big World feat. Christina Aguilera – Say Something

Dj Snake & Lil Jon – Turn Down For What
Hozier – Take Me to Church
