[College Students] Karaoke Popularity Ranking by Generation [2026] (41–50)

One Last TimeAriana Grande43rank/position

Ariana Grande – One Last Time (Official Video)
One Last TimeAriana Grande

This is one of Ariana’s signature breakup songs, hugely popular in Japan as well.

As the title suggests, it portrays the feelings of a girl who clings to her ex, asking for “just one last time.” It’s a bit challenging to sing, but perform it boldly and powerfully—just like Ariana!

Love Me Like YouLittle Mix44rank/position

Little Mix – Love Me Like You (Official Video)
Love Me Like YouLittle Mix

It’s a love song that sings, even if someone has lots of money or drives a nice car, no one can love me like he does.

The prom- and dance party–like scenes in the music video are cute and lovely.

Let’s all sing along and get excited together!

Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48

A positive breakup song by the national female idol group AKB48.

Thanks to its upbeat melody and optimistic lyrics, it’s popular as a song performed with dancing at wedding receptions, despite being a breakup song.

Definitely a number you’ll want to learn the dance for and sing while dancing at karaoke.

Stone ColdDemi Lovato46rank/position

Demi Lovato – Stone Cold (Official Video)

It’s a song where the piano melody resonates with a wistful sorrow.

Even if you don’t understand the lyrics, the melody makes it clear that it’s a heartbreak song.

The lyrics are very poignant, expressing the pain of trying to support an ex-boyfriend’s new love.

The English is relatively straightforward, so I think even middle school students will find it easy to sing.

Broken-Hearted GirlBeyoncé47rank/position

The lyrics, where she straightforwardly clings to him begging, “please don’t leave me,” are painful to hear.

It’s the kind of lyric that might make a girl who’s just had her heart broken start crying as she sings.

It’s a song I’d like to hear belted out powerfully, like Beyoncé.

Keeping the rhythm might be a bit tricky.

KanadeSukima Suichi48rank/position

This song portrays the scene of seeing a lover off as they set out on a journey.

It’s a perfect piece to sing to your partner if you’ve experienced taking separate paths or are in a long-distance relationship.

It will bring the two of you even closer than you are now.

Silent majorityKeyakizaka4649rank/position

A song by Keyakizaka46, formed as the sister group to the popular idol group Nogizaka46.

They performed it on various TV programs soon after their debut, and it also drew attention for being featured in the year-end Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

Because it’s widely known even among non-fans, it’s an easy song to sing at karaoke.
