AI Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

StoryAI1rank/position

AI – Story

The AI with the famously husky voice.

While there are some high notes in the song, it’s mostly sung in a natural mid-range chest voice, so “Story” should be quite easy to sing! The tricky part of this song is definitely the high notes in the bridge.

My students practiced that same spot over and over.

If you sing it with the same feel as the chorus, you’ll run out of breath and your voice won’t carry.

It’s crucial to prepare before hitting the high notes! Since the song flows straight into the bridge after the end of the second verse, it can move on before you’ve had time to prepare… Take a quick breath right before the bridge and project your voice powerfully as if aiming into the distance! For the vowel “i,” it’s easy to spread the mouth sideways and tense up, so it’s easier to produce if you create space inside your mouth while pronouncing it.

RespectAI5rank/position

AI “Respect” (Official video) - “Respect All” -

A digital-only single by AI, released in May 2023.

This track brings out the full allure of AI’s low-register voice and is sure to overwhelm listeners.

I think the resonant vocals and hip-hop-style beat are a perfect match.

When singing it at karaoke, aim for an emotionally rich delivery and lock in with the backing track’s beat.

Try singing while envisioning a chest voice that resonates through your entire thoracic cavity.

Open your oral cavity as much as possible and aim the sound downward; doing so should produce a well-resonant chest voice, so give it a try.

Happy ChristmasAI6rank/position

AI – Happy Christmas / Happy Christmas

This is the definitive winter song by AI that celebrates the joy and happiness of Christmas! With lyrics that weave in beautifully lit landscapes and memorable encounters and farewells, it warmly embraces the hearts of listeners.

Released in November 2016, this track is AI’s very first Christmas song and was also chosen as the theme song for Aeon’s “Hello! New CHRISTMAS 2016” TV commercial.

Together with the commercial featuring actress Emi Takei, it delivers a message song that highlights the wonder of new encounters.

Perfect for livening up karaoke with friends and family.

The catchy, pop melody is very easy to sing, but try performing it with an awareness of the contrast between the restrained backing track in the first half and the uptempo shift in the chorus!

Happy Birthday to YouAI7rank/position

Happy Birthday To You

As the title suggests, this song straightforwardly delivers a message of congratulations to someone celebrating their birthday.

With a gently floating, calm sound, it beautifully conveys a warm atmosphere perfect for celebratory moments.

The lyrics, which portray the process of planning a birthday celebration, are especially noteworthy—the image of reaching the big day without having decided anything because you were thinking too hard about what would make them happy comes across as endearingly sweet.

Filled with heartfelt feelings for a special person, this is a song that radiates a sense of happiness throughout.
