Have a look at these Top 10 songs, artists wish were to have been forgotten
Being in the music industry can be overwhelming at times especially as an artist. Knowing that millions of people might be listening to their songs on repeat can sometimes give them mixed feelings. Even though there are often excited about writing a song there might be a point where they would not feel the same way about their songs anymore.
Here are the top 10 songs that artists wish we forget.
1. Madonna – Like a virgin
Like a Virgin came out in 2009 and has over 91 million views on YouTube. She told New York’s Z100 FM, “I’m not sure I can sing Holiday or Like A Virgin ever again. I just can’t – unless somebody paid me like $30 million or something.”
In 2009, she also told the reporters, “For some reason people think that when you go to a restaurant or you are going shopping that you want to hear one of your own songs. It’s usually Like a Virgin – and that is the one I don’t want to hear.”
2. Warrant – Cherry Pie
Jane Lane was an American recording artist and the lead vocalist. The song came out in 2010 and has over 54 million views on YouTube.
However, she used to say, “I had no intention of writing that song. I could shoot myself in the head for writing that song.”
3. Katy Perry – I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl came out in 2008 and has over 2 billion views on YouTube.
Even though Katy Perry does not completely hate her song, she once said, “We’ve really changed, conversationally, in the past 10 years. We’ve come a long way. Bisexuality wasn’t as talked about back then, or any type of fluidity. If I had to write that song again, I probably would make an edit on it. Lyrically, it has a couple of stereotypes in it. Your mind changes so much in 10 years, and you grow so much. What’s true for you can evolve.”
4. Ariana Grande – Put your hearts up

Put your hearts up by Ariana Grande came out in 2015.
In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2014, she said, “It was geared toward kids and felt so inauthentic and fake.”
“For the video, they gave me a bad spray tan and put me in a princess dress and had me frolic around the street.” She further added, “The whole thing was straight out of hell. I still have nightmares about it, and I made them hide it on my Vevo page.”
5. Lorde – Royals
Royals by Lorde came out in 2013. It has over 8 billion views on YouTube.
Here is what she has to say about her song.
“I listen to people covering the song and putting their own spin on it — and I listen to it in every single form except the original one I put out — and I realize that actually, it sounds horrible. It sounds like a ringtone from a 2006 Nokia. None of the melodies are cool or good. It’s disastrous. Awful.”
6. Justin Bieber – Beauty and the beast
Beauty and the Beast, a song by Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj, came out in 2013 and has over 9.5 billion views on YouTube.
“I never really liked ‘Beauty and a Beat. It was music that was popular at that time but I was never really a huge fan of that song.”
7. Miley Cyrus – Party in the USA
Party in the USA came out in 2009 and has over 8.1 billion views on YouTube.
“I can never say that I don’t love ‘Party in the USA.’ and that I’m not appreciative of it,” Cyrus said. ” … I would never take it back. But that’s not who I am, that’s not where I want to sing, that’s not what I want to sing, and that’s not what I want my voice to sound like.”
8. Lady Gaga – Telephone
Telephone by Lady Gaga came out in 2010 and has over 4 billion views on YouTube.
In 2011, in an interview, she said, “I hate ‘Telephone.’ Is that terrible to say? It’s the song I have the most difficult time listening to.”
“Ultimately the mix and the process of getting the production finished was very stressful for me. So when I say it’s my worst song it has nothing to do with the song, just my emotional connection to it.”
9. Selena Gomez – Come and get it
Come and get it by Selena Gomez was released in 2013 and has 7.1 billion views on YouTube.
In an interview, in 2016, she said, “It’s very difficult for me to perform live. It’s not my song,” she further added, “I was so young. I was wanting a hit: ‘I don’t know if I need a hit, but maybe I do so people can respect me?’ I’m grateful what [‘Come and Get It’] did for me, so it’d be stupid not to acknowledge it.”
10.Led Zeppelin – Stairway to heaven
Stairway to heave came out in 1971 and has won the Grammy Hall of Fame.
In 1988, the singer, Robert Plant said, “I’d break out in hives if I had to sing that song in every show. I wrote those lyrics and found that song to be of some importance and consequence in 1971, but 17 years later, I don’t know. It’s just not for me.”
