8 Massive Song Cliches Everyone Is Tired Of Hearing

8. Dropping The Artist Or Feature's Name At The Beginning Of The Song

Despite this existing before Jason Derulo, Derulo is absolutely the person that the vast majority of people think about when it comes to this cliché. Derulo drops his name so frequently at the beginning of his songs (or songs on which he features) that there's actually an entire Spotify playlist dedicated to the phenomenon – seriously!

One of the most baffling things about this cliché is why it even exists. Surely if you're listening to the song you know who the artist is? Heck, even if you hear it on the radio, there's a reason why radio presenters exist…you hear that, DJ Khaled?

At the end of the day the whole thing is just obnoxious and irritating. All right, we get it – you love yourself so much that rather than let the beginning of the song play out instrumentally for a few seconds that you'd rather serve listeners up a heavily auto-tuned version of your name. Now can you please stop?
