[2026] A Collection of Cool Western Songs That Hype Up Karaoke (71–80)
INDUSTRY BABYLil Nas X, Jack Harlow
Ten years ago, I think most people discovered Western music mainly through media like TV and the charts, but these days it’s mostly through TikTok and YouTube.
In particular, TikTok creates all kinds of memes and trends, so I think many people started listening to Western music because of TikTok.
For those listeners, Industry Baby is probably a very striking track.
It’s a song by Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow that’s used as BGM in videos all over the world, and it’s characterized by a powerful drop.
Sing it at karaoke and it’s sure to get the crowd going.
Life Goes OnOliver Tree
Oliver Tree, who’s active as both a musician and a comedian, has become a global star thanks to his breakout track “Life Goes On.” The song has gone viral across various social media platforms, including YouTube and TikTok.
Its appeal largely comes down to two things: first, a catchy, laid-back melody; second, heavy lyrics that touch on the emptiness of real life.
This unexpected combination has resonated with many people.
Musical YouthPass The Dutchie
Peaked at No.
10 in the U.S.
in 1983.
A band made up of 11- to 15-year-old kids.
Groups like these have come and gone from the idol-project scene from the past to the present, but they were a bit unusual because they played reggae—and were a proper band at that.
The original is said to be “Pass the Kouchie,” a hit by Jamaica’s Mighty Diamonds.
In the end, they were basically a one-hit wonder; they put out the next album and then broke up.
Still, whether it’s kids or adults, good music is good music.
Never Gonna Give You UpRick Astley
Rick Astley’s classic “Never Gonna Give You Up,” which became a global hit in the 1980s, has recently been popular among younger listeners overseas as well.
The song’s meme, known as the “Rickroll,” spread worldwide and brought renewed attention to the track itself.
With 1980s music styles being rediscovered around the world, including in Japan, it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
Be sure to check it out.
If You Let Me StayTerence Trent D’Arby
Peaked at No.
68 in the U.S.
in 1988.
TTD left the impression of appearing like a comet and then vanishing.
His debut album, “Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby,” sold 11 million copies worldwide.
He also won a Grammy in the R&B category, and his U.S.
first single, “Wishing Well,” shot straight to No.
1.
As this track is more pop than his others, it took off in the UK before the U.S., and in Japan I heard it even more than “Wishing Well.” These days, after various twists and turns, he goes by the name Sananda Maitreya.
I Drink WineAdele
For women who are confident singers, Adele—renowned for her soulful voice—has songs you’ll want to try at karaoke at least once.
That said, the long sustained notes in signature tracks like Hello can be tough to master.
In those cases, I recommend I Drink Wine.
Among Adele’s songs, its key isn’t that high and there are fewer long notes, making it easier to sing at karaoke.
Why not make your Adele debut with this track?
yes, and?Ariana Grande
American pop star Ariana Grande released her new single “Yes, And?” on January 12, 2024, as the lead single from her seventh album.
The track brings a fresh breeze roughly three years after her previous work, Positions.
“Yes, And?” nods to Beyoncé’s Renaissance and Madonna’s Vogue, blending genres from disco to house music, and is marked by incisive lyrics that serve as a response to personal challenges and criticism.
In particular, the line “my tongue is sacred and I speak whatever I please” reflects her commitment to authenticity and carries a message that encourages listeners to embrace themselves.
“Yes, And?” can be seen as a rallying cry not only for younger generations but also for anyone troubled by everyday criticism or negative opinions around them.
Radiating a new era’s confidence and positivity from the ever-vocally-gifted Ariana, this song deserves a spot in your karaoke repertoire—belt it out powerfully with friends!
