Rebecca Black — “Friday” (2011)
Who can forget when Rebecca Black burst onto the scene with one of the most amateurishly produced music videos ever? Within days of its release, “Friday” became a viral sensation, and Rebecca became a target of online vitriol. She’s over that adversity now, and she’s back to making music. Thankfully, her new releases are a little less “fun, fun, fun” and have a little more depth. Girl, I salute you. Even if it’s difficult to recover from a blunder like “Friday,” life goes on.

Billy Ray Cyrus — “Achy Breaky Heart” (1992)
When you watch most 90s movies, “Achy Breaky Heart” will almost certainly appear in a scene or during the credits. Miley Cyrus’s father rose to fame thanks to the single, which gave him access to an audience that still follows him today. Musically, the song is a cliche, and it’s often thought to be ironic in that the melody almost mocks country music.
