Western songs loved by high school students: International classics and popular tracks (61–70)
Never Forget YouZara Larsson, MNEK
A collaboration between Swedish singer-songwriter Zara Larsson and British singer MNEK.
An electropop track about true love, it was released in 2015.
It became a hit worldwide and has been certified platinum in 16 countries.
Party Rock AnthemLMFAO
If you play this song, there probably aren’t many people who wouldn’t recognize it.
Even if they don’t know the title, it’s played in so many places that it’s no exaggeration to say everyone’s heard it.
It’s an incredibly talented piece of Western music and seems to be a huge hit with students.
Oh My GodAdele
When it comes to songs that high school students listen to, most are catchy and poppy, or simply whatever’s trending.
But there are surely some people who want to listen to something more unique.
For those listeners, I recommend Adele’s “Oh My God.” Many people probably associate Adele with emotional ballads.
However, “Oh My God” is the complete opposite of that image—a cool, blues-tinged dance track.
Definitely give it a listen.
My Head & My HeartAva Max
Ava Max, known for her strikingly eccentric performances reminiscent of Lady Gaga and Madonna, is one of the leading artists in electro-pop and has enjoyed immense popularity since the late 2010s.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is My Head & My Heart.
For high school students, you can’t skip a feel-good, high-energy track.
This song is a stylish, upbeat number with great rhythm, so be sure to check it out.
It’s My LifeBon Jovi
What does Western rock music mean to junior high school students? It might feel a bit old-fashioned and maybe even outdated.
Still, it’s true that there’s always a certain number of students who absolutely love it.
And since they tend to prefer classic, mainstream rock, Bon Jovi is definitely popular.
