[Female] Most Popular Western Music Karaoke Rankings [2026]

The RoseBette Midler22rank/position

The Rose

The Rose is calm and soothing, and it’s a song that really shines when performed, so it should feel great to sing! When you sing it, breath control is key—you’ll want to let it flow as if you’re speaking throughout.

Try not to break it up too much; aim to sing one phrase at a time so it doesn’t sound choppy and keeps a soft, gentle vibe.

Take a deep breath and try connecting the lines smoothly, as if you’re drawing a large circle forward in front of you.

By the way, The Rose is often chosen for karaoke scoring as well.

The melody is easy to remember, so definitely give it a try!

Doesn’t Really MatterJanet Jackson23rank/position

Janet Jackson – Doesn’t Really Matter (Official Video)

Janet Jackson’s 2000 hit number.

In Japan, Hitomi Shimatani’s Japanese cover “Papillon” is well-known.

If you find the English in the original version difficult, why not first practice with Shimatani’s version and then try the English version by Janet?

Upside DownDiana Ross24rank/position

Upside down – Diana Ross

This is an uplifting song by Diana Ross, where her expressive vocals stand out over a sound style steeped in disco-funk.

Despite its deep, moody atmosphere, it’s also very popular among women in their 40s, and its glamorous energy makes it a great choice for livening up karaoke.

VenusBananarama25rank/position

Bananarama – Venus (Tonight At The London Palladium)

A cover of the Dutch rock band Shocking Blue.

Among the many covers, this Bananarama version might be the one most people first heard.

At the height of the bubble era, it was played a lot in discos.

In this MV, like Buruzon Chiemi with B, there are lots of half-naked men surrounding the queen (Venus).

It’s a track you can enjoy without overthinking it.

Shape of YouEd Sheeran26rank/position

Ed Sheeran – Shape of You (Official Music Video)

The person singing this song is a man named Ed Sheeran.

Believe it or not, it’s said that the person who sparked his popularity in Japan was Chiemi Blouson.

During her huge boom, she announced on TV, “I like Ed Sheeran,” and it seems things took off when she had him appear on the show.

Of course, I’m sure there were many fans even before that.

SugarMaroon 527rank/position

Maroon 5 – Sugar (Official Music Video)

With this song, it could be said that it became famous because the comedian Takahashi from the duo Savannah created a routine based on it.

I think many people already knew and liked it even before that.

The rhythm is easy to catch, and the English lyrics are easy to sing, so please give it a try.

It’s sure to get everyone pumped up.

RoarKaty Perry28rank/position

Katy Perry – Roar

It’s a song that says goodbye to a life spent reading people’s faces and doing whatever you’re told, and embraces living the way you want, taking responsibility for yourself.

Set to bright pop music, it celebrates that spirit of independence.

Released in 2013, it became a global hit.

Highly recommended.
