Sabrina Carpenter released the most annoying songs of 2025, according to a new study.
Researchers at the website Seat Pick found that the pop star’s hits Sugar Talking and Tears were the most irritating releases of last year after putting the biggest tracks of the past 12 months through an ‘annoyingness index’.
They scored the songs across four key factors, including repetition and lyrical filler (words like yeah, la and uh that are repeated).
According to the index, Sabrina’s tunes irked 46 per cent of listeners.
Other songs deemed as annoying include Ed Sheeran’s Azizam and The Dead Dance by Lady Gaga.
Seat Pick explained: “2025 has proven to be a memorable year of music, with record-breaking releases, viral TikTok hits and artists pushing creative boundaries across genres.
“However, some tracks have also sparked debates over how irritating they are from repetitiveness to ‘harmonic dullness’.”
The site added: “Sabrina has still achieved significant streaming numbers and strong social media traction, and has celebrated a highly successful year overall – earning multiple awards, including Best Pop Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards and Pop Artist of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.”
Those who disagreed with the results have been urged not to fret.
Seat Pick said: “Annoyance is listener subjective.”
