Music permeates so much of our everyday lives, and yet musicians are played so frequently that sometimes people just can’t stand to hear them anymore.
Perhaps it’s because their music is being played continuously on the radio, in commercials, or on the internet, going viral, but some artists are just everywhere.
We asked music fans to tell us which artists they are tired of hearing, and here are the results! People believe these 14 artists have received too much attention.
14. Maroon 5
Maroon 5 has been a group for over 20 years, and while they continue to churn out hits, many feel that they have not done anything new in years. Adam Levine’s vocals are immediately recognizable, but there are individuals who are simply tired of them.
13. Imagine Dragons
Imagine Dragons’ arena rock anthems have been used in every sporting event, advertisement, and movie trailer, and are therefore one of the most-used bands in history. While their music is motivational, some artists claim it’s too repetitive.
12. Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande has a very nice voice to sing, but other individuals think her songs are similar. Having so many No. 1 records, her music plays on the radio all day and night, so other individuals think that she is everywhere every single day.
11. Beyoncé
Beyoncé is perhaps the greatest entertainer of all time, and even her hardest critics will grudgingly acknowledge that she gets too hyped up. Her every new record or tour sends her topping news headlines and convinces some that they can’t break free from Beyoncé hype.
10. Post Malone
Post Malone’s rap-rock-pop style of music has gained him millions of fans, but others think that he puts out too many of the same-sounding songs. Although his songs are catchy, others just can’t stand hearing him sing everywhere.
9. Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish has her unique style, which is quite distinct from anyone else’s, but some people believe that her dark songs and whispery voice are too repetitive. Others feel that, although she has millions of fans, her music has been played so many times that it is now exhausting.
8. Doja Cat
Doja Cat’s catchy rhythms and TikTok viral anthems have made her one of the biggest artists of our time. Others, however, lament that she is playing in their ears every which way, from commercials to dance challenges, and one cannot escape listening to her.
7. Harry Styles
Harry Styles has built a big following since he left One Direction, but some are tired of hearing about him constantly. His songs, like As It Was, have been overplayed on the radio, and they want a little diversity.
6. The Weeknd
The Weeknd’s suave vocals and alien-like rhythms have won him some fans, but others complain his songs all have the same sound. With Blinding Lights atop the charts for weeks on end, some just want a reprieve from his distinctive sound.
5. Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia Rodrigo burst onto the charts with her debut hit drivers license, and since then, her tearful pop ballads have ruled. Though most sympathize with her heartbreaking lyrics, some criticize her tunes as too excessive and repetitive.
4. Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber has evolved from a teen idol to a global phenomenon, but some fans believe his music has remained remarkably consistent. Tracks such as Sorry and Peaches have been on repeat, so some want him to go longer than a year between albums.
3. Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift boasts one of the most devoted fan bases on the planet, but to others, she’s just everywhere. With her albums constantly being re-released and gargantuan world tours, her songs appear to be playing nonstop on the radio and social media. Swifties are hooked, but others are getting Swift-fatigued.
2. Drake
Drake is likely the richest rapper in history, but even his biggest fans will acknowledge that he releases too much too frequently. With a new album released every two years and singles topping the charts, others feel they can’t escape him.
1. Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran has been a massive superstar for over a decade now, and although everyone adores his tear-jerking lyrics and anthemic choruses, some simply think that his music is played out. He’s already had tracks like Shape of You and Perfect played at every wedding and marketing campaign, and some simply tire of listening to his tracks.
Music preference is subjective, and while others may be sick of these artists, others will still be streaming their tracks around the clock. Music is all about personal preference at the end of the day—so if you’re a fan, keep listening!
