[Many Hit Songs Featured!!] Western Music That Was Popular in 2021

Speaking of 2021, although the effects of COVID-19 were still lingering, wouldn’t you say it was a bright year for many Japanese people?

The biggest reason has to be sports!

In the World Cup, Japan’s national team notched eight straight wins; Shohei Ohtani shone as a two-way player and won MVP; and the Olympics were held in Japan—overall, it was a year full of uplifting sports news.

This time, I’d like to introduce some Western songs that were popular in 2021.

It was also a year with many hit tracks, so if you like Western music, don’t miss this!
