Each year in music, one album draws the ire of enough critics to be named the worst LP of the year.
Since the turn of the century, the review aggregator Metacritic has compiled an annual list of the year’s most poorly received albums by assigning scores based on composite critical reception.
We selected the most critically panned album from each year, starting with 2000 (and including the worst of 2018 so far). The resulting list includes appearances from popular artists like Justin Timberlake, The Chainsmokers, and Lil Wayne.
Check out the worst album of each year in the new century so far:
