Various Artists — “Baby Shark” (2016)
Although there are over a thousand different covers of it online, we had to settle on 2016 for this one. We decided to take a broad approach and mention all of the artists who contributed to making “Baby Shark” one of the most annoyingly popular songs on the planet for a brief period of time. You couldn’t go anywhere without hearing it at the time, and it was a painful experience for both children and adults. We’re totally not humming “doo doo doo doo” right now, promise.

Carly Rae Jepsen — Call Me Maybe” (2012)
We’re still unsure if Carly wants the guy to call her or if she just wants him to leave her alone. “Call Me Maybe” was a smash hit in 2012, and it changed the young Canadian singer’s life forever. The song was covered millions of times on the internet and quickly became a party favorite in clubs worldwide. Carly is said to be still profiting handsomely from the proceeds to this day.
