‘You’re Beautiful’ Singer James Blunt Says Hit Song Was ‘Annoying’

— -- “Gangnam Style,” “Party Rock Anthem,” and “Macarena” are all hit songs that were played so often that they eventually got on listeners’ nerves.

“You’re Beautiful,” the romantic ballad by James Blunt, is another song that was played over and over again until it had a similar effect on many people's ears.

It seemed as though people couldn’t turn on the radio or turn to MTV in 2005 without hearing the song, and now Blunt, the singer behind the Grammy-nominated tune, says he’s sick of it, too.

Blunt, 40, told Hello! magazine this week that the song was “force-fed down people’s throats … .” He added: “It became annoying … .”

"I think, at the end of the day, I was marketed by a record company to appeal to women during ‘Desperate Housewives' commercials and you lose 50 per cent of the population in doing so,” he told Hello!

He’s not the only singer to speak so frankly about his or her viral hit.

Celine Dion has admitted that just the thought of her 1997 megahit, “My Heart Will Go On,” is enough to make her feel sick.

And in February, Madonna told “E.T.” Canada that she wasn’t a huge fan of her own tunes. The pop icon was responding to a question about what music she listened to when she worked out.

“I hate my music, I mean I'm sick of it. I'm like ‘turn it off,’" she said, but clarified that she loved her work but was tired of hearing it.

“I like to hear other people’s music when I work out,” she said.
