It’s a 1981 hit song by the American band Journey.

Journey has many hit songs such as “Open Arms” and “Separate Ways,” but I think the easiest to sing at karaoke is “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

That song—released in 1996 and now a staple among Western karaoke classics.

Its distinctive melody begins with a piano intro, layered with Noel Gallagher’s clear, resonant vocals that draw you right in.

The message of not looking back and moving forward is sure to strike a deep chord with men in their 40s as well.

So popular it’s often called the UK’s unofficial national anthem, it was also sung in remembrance after the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing.

It’s a tune you’ll find yourself humming in all kinds of moments—out drinking with friends or standing at a crossroads in life.

The song “Radio Ga Ga,” included on their 11th album The Works and also a worldwide hit single, features lyrics that liken the band to radio—then said to be in decline—conveying a strong determination that they’re far from finished.

With its simple melody, minimal inflection, and relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing even for those who feel uneasy about Western pop.

The chorus is guaranteed to turn into a massive sing-along—a timeless number loved across generations.

Breaking through in the 1980s and ’90s with a unique sound that fused rock with funk and rap, the Red Hot Chili Peppers released a pivotal track for the band: a song included on their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik and issued as a single the following year, 1992.

Its lyrics, written by vocalist Anthony Kiedis about the loneliness and alienation he felt in Los Angeles, were set against deliberately bright chord progressions by John Frusciante, resulting in a bittersweet yet beautiful ballad.

The song peaked at No.

2 on the Billboard Hot 100, won the Viewers’ Choice Award at the MTV Video Music Awards, and was featured in the film Flight.

With a melodic appeal distinct from their earlier funk-heavy style, it’s perfect for moments when you want to lift the mood with a gentle, mellow vibe.

An ultra-famous solo number by former Beatle John Lennon.

People in their 50s probably all know this song.

Sing it at karaoke when everyone’s starting to get a little tired; if you sing it while the energy is high, it might dampen the mood a bit.

Still, the melody is exceptionally easy to sing, so lean into the vibe and perform it with feeling!

Killer QueenQueen77rank/position

Queen – Killer Queen (Top Of The Pops, 1974)

The song Killer Queen was the first single from the third album Sheer Heart Attack.

It was Queen’s first hit in the United States and is a catchy tune packed with highlights, including their trademark guitar orchestration.

Because the vocals are generally subdued and the range is narrow, it’s relatively easy to sing; however, there are sections with complex melodies, so be careful not to lose the flow of the song.

Also, since it has a relaxed shuffle beat, be mindful of the swinging rhythm when you sing.
