Welcome to WatchMojo, and today, we're counting down our picks for the songs whose lack of success had the most detrimental effects on an artist's career.

歡迎來到《WatchMojo》，今天我們將為您盤點那些不成功卻對藝術家的職業生涯造成最嚴重影響的歌曲。

Mo Bounce – Iggy Azalea In 2014, Iggy Azalea was on top of the world thanks to the success of singles Fancy and Black Widow.

Mo Bounce - Iggy Azalea 2014 年，Iggy Azalea 憑藉單曲《Fancy》和《Black Widow》的成功登上了世界之巔。

However, backlash towards the Australian rapper was growing, particularly accusations of cultural appropriation.

然而，人們對這位澳洲說唱歌手的反感與日俱增，尤其是對其文化盜用行為的指責。

The chart performance of her singles gradually deteriorated.

她的單曲在排行榜上的表現逐漸下滑。

It's an in-your-face EDM rap track that feels like it's at least three years out of date.

這是一首直入人心的 EDM 說唱曲目，感覺至少過時了三年。

It was also Azalea's first song since breaking out to fail the chart in the U.S.

這也是杜鵑自出道以來第一首在美國榜單上失敗的歌曲。

She's experienced middling success at best since then, and the odds of Iggy Azalea ever having another genuine hit seem slim to none.

自那以後，她最多隻能取得中等水平的成功，而伊基-阿塞莉婭再次真正大紅大紫的可能性似乎微乎其微。

Shock to the System – Billy Idol It's hard to think of an artist who better exemplifies the flashy ethos of 80s popular music than Billy Idol.

對系統的衝擊 - 比利-偶像 很難想象有哪位藝術家能比比利-偶像（Billy Idol）更能體現 80 年代流行音樂的浮華氣質。

A fixture on the radio and MTV, Idol thrived in the era of new wave dominance.

作為電臺和 MTV 的固定節目，偶像在新浪潮盛行的時代茁壯成長。

But as tastes and trends changed in the early 90s, Idol went from hip to has-been.

但隨著 90 年代初品味和潮流的變化，偶像從時髦變成了過時。

Shock to the System from Idol's ill-conceived concept album, Cyberpunk, was reportedly inspired by the Los Angeles riots of the previous year.

據報道，Idol 構思拙劣的概念專輯《賽博朋克》中的《對系統的衝擊》（Shock to the System）的靈感來自前一年的洛杉磯騷亂。

It's a strange fit for an artist not generally known for protest music.

對於一位一般不以抗議音樂著稱的藝術家來說，這是一個奇怪的契合點。

Shock to the System did not chart in the U.S. Cyberpunk was a bona fide flop, and Idol wouldn't release another new studio album for more than a decade.

賽博朋克》（Cyberpunk）是一張真正的失敗之作，十多年來偶像樂隊再也沒有發行過新的錄音室專輯。

Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up – Paula Abdul Some artists can go away for a few years and return to the same level of popularity as before.

Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up - Paula Abdul 有些藝人離開幾年後，人氣又會恢復到原來的水準。

After seeing an incredible run of six consecutive number one singles, Abdul's subsequent songs started seeing weaker performances.

在經歷了連續六首冠軍單曲的輝煌之後，阿杜隨後的歌曲表現開始疲軟。

The four-year gap between her albums Spellbound and Head Over Heels didn't help matters.

她的兩張專輯《Spellbound》和《Head Over Heels》之間相隔四年，這對她的發展毫無幫助。

Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up was the third and final single released from Head Over Heels.

Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up》是《Head Over Heels》發行的第三支單曲，也是最後一支單曲。

And to be clear, there's nothing particularly wrong with the funky dance pop song.

說白了，這首時髦的流行舞曲並沒有什麼特別的問題。

But it also essentially failed to chart anywhere, making it clear that Paula Abdul's time as an A-list pop star was over.

但這首歌也基本上沒有在任何地方上榜，這讓寶拉-阿卜杜勒作為 A 級流行歌星的時代宣告結束。

Eat You Alive – Limp Bizkit In the late 90s and early 2000s, there was no band more simultaneously reviled and popular than Limp Bizkit.

Eat You Alive - Limp Bizkit 在上世紀 90 年代末和本世紀初，沒有哪個樂隊能比 Limp Bizkit 更受謾罵和歡迎。

But even if Nookie and Roland weren't exactly cerebral, they at least managed to be guilty pleasure fun.

不過，即使《諾基》和《羅蘭》算不上腦洞大開，但至少也能讓人產生罪惡感，樂在其中。

Eat You Alive, the lead single from the band's album Results May Vary, is the opposite of fun.

Eat You Alive》是樂隊專輯《Results May Vary》中的主打單曲，與 "有趣 "恰恰相反。

Instead, it's brooding, grim, and creepy, and not in a good way.

相反，它是陰鬱、嚴峻和令人毛骨悚然的，而且不是一種好的方式。

Guitarist Wes Borland having left the band didn't help matters either.

吉他手韋斯-博蘭（Wes Borland）的離開也對樂隊不利。

It failed to chart on the Hot 100 and essentially indicated that we needed an extended break from Fred Durst and company.

這首歌未能進入熱門 100 歌曲排行榜，從根本上表明，我們需要從 Fred Durst 和他的公司那裡得到長時間的休息。

I Hit It First – Ray J Featuring Bobby Brackens

I Hit It First - Ray J Featuring Bobby Brackens

Though he saw decent success as an R&B artist, Ray J is arguably best known for his past relationship with Kim Kardashian, including their infamous sex tape.

雖然作為 R&B 歌手取得了不錯的成功，但 Ray J 最出名的還是他過去與金-卡戴珊（Kim Kardashian）的關係，包括他們臭名昭著的性愛錄像帶。

In 2013, cashing in on his ex's notoriety, Ray J released I Hit It First, a not-at-all subtle song about his previous romantic escapades.

2013 年，藉著前女友的惡名，Ray J 推出了《I Hit It First》，這首歌一點也不含蓄地講述了他之前的浪漫逸事。

If it wasn't already obvious who the song is about, the video makes it painfully clear.

如果說這首歌的主題還不夠明顯，那麼視頻則讓人一目瞭然。

I Hit It First managed to hit 51 on the charts, and no other Ray J song has since charted.

I Hit It First》在音樂排行榜上名列第 51 位，自此之後，Ray J 的其他歌曲再未上榜。

If this was supposed to be a flex, it definitely wasn't earned.

如果這應該是一種彈性，那它肯定不是應得的。

Thank You The Shit – Ice Spice With collabs like Boyz A Liar Part 2 and Barbie

Thank You The Shit - Ice Spice 與 Boyz A Liar Part 2 和 Barbie 等樂隊合作

World and an appearance on a remix of Taylor Swift's Karma, Ice Spice seemed poised to be the next female rap superstar.

Ice Spice 在《World》和泰勒-斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）的《Karma》混音版中的亮相，似乎有望成為下一位說唱女巨星。

The underperformance of her debut studio album Y2K slowed down her momentum considerably.

她的首張錄音室專輯《Y2K》表現不佳，大大減緩了她的發展勢頭。

It likely would have fared better if the lead single wasn't this, a blatantly low-effort boast track centered around a very juvenile title.

如果主打單曲不是這首圍繞著一個非常稚嫩的歌名、明目張膽地低聲下氣誇誇其談的歌曲，它的表現可能會更好。

It only peaked at 37, and Ice Spice's chart fortunes haven't improved since.

這張唱片的最高排名僅為 37 位，自此之後，Ice Spice 在榜單上的表現就再無起色。

It may be too soon to say her time in the spotlight is definitely over, but we know a fading career when we see one.

現在就說她在聚光燈下的時代已經結束可能還為時過早，但我們知道，當我們看到她的職業生涯正在褪色的時候。

Ninja Rap – Vanilla Ice Though Ice Ice Baby made history as the first rap song to top the US Hot 100, it didn't make everyone fall in love with Vanilla Ice.

忍者說唱》--香草冰 雖然《冰冰寶貝》創造了歷史，成為第一首登上美國流行榜榜首的說唱歌曲，但它並沒有讓每個人都愛上香草冰。

His debut single, I Love You, only peaked at number 52.

他的首支單曲《我愛你》最高只排在第 52 位。

Less than a year later, Ice appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, The Secret of the

不到一年後，小冰又出演了《忍者神龜 2：大鬧天宮》（Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, The Secret of the Turtles）。

Ooze, and provided a song for the film's soundtrack.

Ooze，併為影片配樂提供了一首歌曲。

But while the film itself was a hit, Ninja Rap completely failed on the charts.

雖然影片本身很受歡迎，但《忍者說唱》在排行榜上卻完全失敗了。

Not even the Ninja Turtles could make up for how uncool Vanilla Ice had become after his initial taste of fame.

就連《忍者神龜》也無法彌補香草冰在初嘗成名滋味後變得多麼不酷。

Hot Shower – Chance the Rapper Chance the Rapper has built up immense goodwill with his early mixtapes, so when it came time for him to drop his debut studio album, The

Hot Shower - Chance the Rapper Chance the Rapper 憑藉其早期的混音帶建立了巨大的聲譽，是以當他推出首張錄音室專輯《The Shower》時，他的粉絲們紛紛表示："這是他的第一張專輯。

Big Day, expectations were understandably high.

大日子，人們的期望值很高，這是可以理解的。

But fans were largely disappointed, or in the case of second single Hot Shower, utterly baffled.

但歌迷們大多感到失望，就第二首單曲《Hot Shower》而言，歌迷們完全摸不著頭腦。

Featuring an obnoxious beat and sub-mediocre rapping and lyricism from Chance, it feels like a prank on his listeners.

這首歌的節拍令人生厭，錢斯的說唱和抒情水準也不入流，感覺就像是對聽眾的惡作劇。

DaBaby then, at the peak of his popularity, admittedly turns in a good verse.

隨後，正值巔峰期的 DaBaby 不得不承認，他的詩句寫得很好。

But that wasn't enough to redeem this track.

但這還不足以挽回這首歌的頹勢。

Chance has since released numerous non-album singles, none of which have made any kind of meaningful commercial impact.

此後，錢斯又發行了許多非專輯單曲，但都沒有產生任何有意義的商業影響。

Cleopatra's Cat – Spin Doctors The success of Little Miss Can't Be Wrong and Two Princes made the Spin Doctors into radio rock stars of the early 90s.

埃及豔后的貓》（Cleopatra's Cat） - Spin Doctors Spin Doctors（旋轉醫生樂隊）《小小姐不會錯》（Little Miss Can't Be Wrong）和《兩個王子》（Two Princes）的成功使他們成為 90 年代初電臺搖滾明星。

While they achieved commercial success, it seems they were also aiming to be regarded as intellectuals.

在取得商業成功的同時，他們似乎也希望被視為知識分子。

That's the only plausible explanation we can give as to why the lead single of their second album was a funky freeform song about ancient historical figures like Cleopatra and Julius Caesar.

這是我們能給出的唯一合理解釋，為什麼他們第二張專輯的主打歌是一首關於埃及豔后和凱撒大帝等古代歷史人物的時髦自由曲。

With no discernible hooks, the Spin Doctors lost their radio audience, and they didn't become critical darlings either.

由於沒有明顯的特色，"旋轉醫生 "失去了廣播聽眾，也沒有成為評論界的寵兒。

What they did become was a cautionary tale about the hazards of a band's ambitions outweighing its abilities.

他們確實成為了一個警示故事，告訴人們一個樂隊野心大於能力的危害。

White Privilege 2 – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Jamila Woods

White Privilege 2 - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Jamila Woods

There's no denying that White Privilege 2 is an audacious song.

不可否認，《白色特權 2》是一首大膽的歌曲。

A nearly nine-minute-long examination of racism and its long-term generational effects, Macklemore showed that he wasn't afraid to take chances as an artist.

長達近九分鐘的節目探討了種族主義及其對一代人的長期影響，Macklemore 展示了他作為一名藝術家不怕冒險的精神。

Unfortunately, while well-intentioned, White Privilege 2 is overstuffed and self-important, feeling as though Macklemore is trying to de-center himself while also having as much of the spotlight as possible.

遺憾的是，儘管用心良苦，《白色特權 2》卻顯得過於臃腫和自視甚高，給人的感覺就像麥克爾摩爾在試圖去掉自己的中心位置，同時又儘可能多地佔據聚光燈的焦點。

While the song spawned plenty of discourse, it didn't fare well commercially.

雖然這首歌引發了大量討論，但在商業上的表現並不理想。

While Macklemore has continued making music, this marked a pretty definite turning point in his career.

雖然 Macklemore 仍在繼續創作音樂，但這標誌著他職業生涯中一個相當明確的轉捩點。

I Admit – R. Kelly The fact that R. Kelly recorded and released

我承認 - R. 凱利 R. 凱利錄製併發行了《我承認》這本書。

I Admit is itself evidence that his career was dead.

我承認》本身就是他事業已死的證據。

Further allegations and backlash against the R&B star grew.

針對這位 R&B 明星的指控和反彈進一步增加。

He dropped this 19-minute song where he denies the claims made against him and tries to regain his grasp of a narrative he's no longer in control of.

他在這首 19 分鐘的歌曲中否認了對他的指控，並試圖重新掌控他已不再掌控的敘事。

The release of documentary series Surviving R. Kelly would only further the anti-Kelly sentiment, and he was eventually convicted of multiple counts of abuse.

系列紀錄片《Surviving R. Kelly》的上映進一步激起了反凱利的情緒，他最終被判多項虐待罪。

He's now currently serving a 31-year combined prison sentence.

目前，他正在服 31 年的合併刑期。

Given its length and self-centered focus, it's hard to imagine anyone but R. Kelly wanting to hear this.

鑑於其篇幅和以自我為中心的關注點，很難想象除了 R. Kelly，還會有人想聽這首歌。

Literally I Can't – Redfoo After the electro-pop duo LMFAO went on hiatus in 2012, Redfoo kicked off his solo career and found success in Australia, where he became a judge on The X Factor.

Literally I Can't - Redfoo 在電音二人組合 LMFAO 於 2012 年解散後，Redfoo 開始了他的個人事業，並在澳洲取得了成功，他還成為了《X Factor》的評審。

The party appeared to be rocking until 2014, when he was featured on a song by production duo Playin' Skills.

直到 2014 年，他在二人制作組合 Playin' Skills 的一首歌中出現，派對才顯得熱鬧起來。

Many found the lyrics and music video to be misogynistic and condemned the artist for seemingly promoting a culture of assault.

許多人認為歌詞和音樂視頻帶有厭惡女性的色彩，並譴責這位藝術家似乎在宣揚一種攻擊文化。

Redfoo received the brunt of that criticism, with a petition calling for his dismissal from The X Factor judging panel, amassing thousands of signatures.

Redfoo 首當其衝受到了責備，一份要求將其從 X Factor 評審中解職的請願書獲得了成千上萬人的簽名。

A few months later, Redfoo announced that he would be departing from the music competition series after just two seasons.

幾個月後，Redfoo 宣佈他將在兩季之後退出音樂比賽系列。

His once-budding solo career never recovered.

他曾經嶄露頭角的個人事業從此一蹶不振。

The Way You Love Me – Keri Hilson Keri Hilson's career took a particularly racy turn with her 2010 sophomore album, No Boys Allowed.

The Way You Love Me - Keri Hilson Keri Hilson 的事業在 2010 年的第二張專輯《No Boys Allowed》中有了一個特別的轉折。

Granted she may not have been known as the most family-friendly artist in the industry, but many were stunned when they heard Hilson's collaboration with Rick Ross, The Way You

當然，她可能並不是業內眾所周知的最適合家庭的藝人，但當聽到希爾森與裡克-羅斯合作的《你的方式》時，很多人都驚呆了。

While it was intended to show her wild side, the song's explicit lyrics drew overwhelmingly negative reactions.

雖然這首歌意在展現她狂野的一面，但其露骨的歌詞卻引來了鋪天蓋地的負面反應。

Critics felt it lacked substance and was merely an attempt to generate controversy and boost her album sales.

評論家認為它缺乏實質內容，只是試圖引起爭議並提高她的專輯銷量。

If that was the aim, then it was pretty unsuccessful, as sales of her sophomore effort paled in comparison to those of her debut.

如果這是她的目標，那麼她的目標相當不成功，因為她的第二部作品的銷量與首部作品相比相形見絀。

Hilson wouldn't release a new album until 2025.

希爾森要到 2025 年才會發行新專輯。

Every Time The Beat Dropped – Monika R&B singer Monika rose to prominence in the mid-90s before achieving the biggest hit of her career with 1998's The Boyz Mine.

Every Time The Beat Dropped - Monika R&B 歌手 Monika 在 90 年代中期嶄露頭角，1998 年的《The Boyz Mine》是她職業生涯中最受歡迎的作品。

She remained a staple in R&B afterwards, with many of her subsequent records peaking in the top 10 of the Billboard charts.

之後，她仍然是 R&B 音樂界的中流砥柱，她的許多唱片都進入了公告牌排行榜的前十名。

However, in 2006, the Georgia-born singer released Every Time The Beat Dropped, bringing all of that success to a screeching halt.

然而，2006 年，這位出生於佐治亞州的歌手發行了《每當節拍響起》（Every Time The Beat Dropped），使所有的成功戛然而止。
