AI Popular Song Rankings [2026]

My WishAI36rank/position

AI「my wish」（Official Music Video）

This is a ballad themed around “wishes” and “prayers,” and it serves as the image song for the film Hanamanma, released during Golden Week in 2025.

The overall key isn’t high, so it’s easy for women to sing in the original key.

Around the final chorus, the singing style shifts with a melody-like arrangement, so please practice that part by listening to the song multiple times.

You’ll likely feel very refreshed when you can sing it well! Also, since the tempo is slow, the pauses are very important.

You can breathe sufficiently, so if you place each phrase carefully without rushing, the tempo won’t run.

It feels great to sing when you immerse yourself in the song’s world, so cherish the lyrics as you sing.

Not So Different Remix feat. AwichAI37rank/position

AI – 「Not So Different Remix feat. Awich」 (official video)

A collaboration track featuring AI, who’s active as an R&B singer, and the much-talked-about female rapper Awich.

When you think of AI, you probably picture ballads and pop songs like her well-known “Story” and “Happiness,” but she absolutely nails this bold hip-hop tune too! The rap back-and-forth with Awich is a must-hear, and there’s no doubt you’ll be drawn in by their cool flows.

Sha La LaAI38rank/position

Ai – Sha La La

I also love this song, which has a slightly sexy and sultry vibe.

It’s a bit different from the usual natural feel, and that touch of sensuality is nice too.

The voice has sex appeal.

The way the voice sustains has a distinctive AI-like quality—it holds beautifully and is very pleasant to listen to.

Start AgainAI39rank/position

AI「Start Again」 (official video)

Even between parent and child—or rather, precisely because they are parent and child—it can be hard to express everyday gratitude and honest feelings.

This commercial tells an animated story of a parent and child who convey those feelings through KitKat.

The real-life episode in which they wrote messages to each other in the message area on the back of the KitKat package and exchanged them is truly heartwarming.

The background music is Start Again, written specifically for this commercial.

The lyrics focus on the word “kikkake” (a catalyst or starting point), which is also the theme of the ad, and their positivity is sure to lift your spirits.

Story English VersionAI40rank/position

AI- Story English Version

The English version of AI’s hit number is the ending theme of the movie Big Hero 6.

The original Japanese version is great, but this English version suits AI’s voice very well and brings out a different charm, with a style that lets you enjoy both a pop feel and a ballad vibe.

Summer MagicAI41rank/position

AI – 「Summer Magic (Japanese Version)」Music Video

The video shows singer-songwriter AI chatting with Alexa through the Amazon Echo smart speaker.

AI casually calls out, “Alexa!” and has her own songs play on Amazon Music.

She then continues the conversation, asking things like, “Can’t you play an instrument?” which leaves a memorable impression of her enjoying the interaction.

The song featured in the commercial is “Summer Magic,” sung by AI.

It’s a track about love set in the summer, with an upbeat rhythm and a striking portrayal of someone having fun even while feeling unsure about a one-sided crush.

SunshineAI42rank/position

AI – Sunshine

This is another number I really love.

Unlike the vibe of the voice from the younger days, perhaps because of the added years, it gives the impression of a clean, mature AI.

The voice is free of bite and very beautiful.

It has a fresh, invigorating feel, so it’s pleasant to listen to even on a drive.
