Albums where a single is the weakest song on there

I don’t think 1999 is a bad song but I don’t think it’s the worst song on Charli by Charli XCX

And then Blame It On Your Love and Gone are also less good than all the other songs on there

I’m not sure what else it would be on Ten. I guess you could make a case for Oceans or Jeremy, but the outro is too good on the latter.

I’d say Oceans

“Say It Ain’t So” is great. Wouldn’t say there are any weak songs on the album but if there was one it’s “Surf Wax America” or “Holiday”.

Those songs are great fun. The only reason it’s No One Else is because the lyric is creepy.

This is a ludicrous take (with the caveat that every song on the album is essential, there’s no actual answer).

Doesn’t mean it’s not the weakest on the album.

This probably doesn’t count since it’s a secret song, but the cover of Big Yellow Taxi on Counting Crows’ Hard Candy is the weakest one on that album (which is secretly a 10/10 and one of the few best albums of that decade).

Don’t know if this was what you were after but everyone seems to have forgotten that the lead single for the best selling album of ALL TIME was this

The Cure: Fascination Street and Lovesong are both pretty weak tracks from Disintegration and Hot Hot Hot is probably the worst track on Kiss Me

‘Dissident’, for all it’s faults, is in no way the worst song on an album containing ‘Glorified G’ & ‘Leash’ :rofl:

Nothing Like You by Frightened Rabbit. Also, to a lesser extent Living in Colour.

Winter of Mixed Drinks would be improved by both being ommited.

Can’t claim to know Blur’s Think Tank like the back of my hand but if there’s a worse song on it than Crazy Beat then let’s just fire the entire band directly into the sun imo.
