K-POP Popularity Ranking [2026] (61–70)
Queencard(G)I-DLE61rank/position

A long-running hit that represents (G)I-DLE, released in 2023.
It’s a power song that inspires with its inner strength and positive message, and it even includes lyrics that depict a birthday! Life can be tough at times, and there may be moments when you lack confidence.
But on your birthday, everyone gets to be the star! Enjoy some delicious treats while boosting your self-esteem.
(G)I-DLE’s cool, bold expression gives you incredible energy, and its aggressive vibe is perfect for parties! It’s also highly recommended as a birthday song to hype things up with friends.
Life Goes OnBTS62rank/position

You can’t leave out “Life Goes On,” whose gentle lyrics are so soothing.
Released in 2020 as a single, it carries both the painful experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic and an encouraging message to overcome them.
Its positive message makes it perfect for times when you want to lift someone’s spirits or create a relaxed atmosphere.
And from a karaoke standpoint, its narrow vocal range and lack of intense rap parts make it relatively easy to sing.
Stay GoldBTS63rank/position

The theme song for the TV Tokyo drama “Labyrinth of the Spiral ~DNA Forensic Investigation~” was created to match the drama’s worldview and is a warm medium-ballad that resonates with the members’ vocals.
It features lyrical lyrics and a bright melody, carrying the message, “This world isn’t full of only good things, but don’t lose your shine,” and it became a hit, reaching No.
1 on iTunes in 84 countries and regions worldwide.
The melody of the chorus, which includes the song’s title, leaves a particularly strong impression.
Of course, each member has their role, but since this is a drama theme song, it isn’t overly difficult overall and should be easy to learn and sing even for first-time listeners.
In the chorus the melodies overlap, but try singing whichever part you prefer with confidence.
WA DA DAKep1er64rank/position

Kep1er’s first mini album’s lead track “WA DA DA” is a hit that makes a strong impression of the group.
The song is divided into a powerful EDM-style section and a cute idol-like section.
Since the tone and vibe differ, it may help to be mindful of switching your dance style accordingly.
The beginning of the chorus has a strong beat, is catchy, very powerful, and still feminine.
In the latter half of the chorus, the choreography suddenly shifts to classic idol cuteness, so it’s crucial to switch from sharp, powerful movements in the first half to cute, playful movements in the second half.
If you can show that contrast in expression, it’ll be perfect!
Black SwanBTS65rank/position

Let me introduce Black Swan, a piece with a captivating dark worldview.
This is a song themed after the film of the same name, Black Swan, with the group’s leader RM contributing to the lyrics.
It portrays the darkness within a dancer’s heart.
Its structure moves from a quiet interlude into an intense chorus, which makes the vocals feel especially powerful by contrast.
There’s also a Japanese version, so it’s great that you can fully understand the poetic lyrics and sing along.
