Lullaby Rankings [2026] (71–80)
When You Wish Upon A StarLexi Walker76rank/position
The song used as the theme for Disney’s 1940 film Pinocchio is When You Wish Upon a Star.
In Japan, this classic is also beloved under the title “Hoshi ni Negai o.” It was ranked seventh on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest movie songs and is also cherished as a Christmas song.
The star imagery in the lyrics evokes the night, making it perfect as a lullaby.
Your child may not yet understand the meaning of the words, but hearing the loving voice of mom or dad will help them drift off to sleep feeling safe and secure.
Little StarStina Nordenstam77rank/position
“Little Star” by Stina Nordenstam, which is included on the soundtrack of the film Romeo and Juliet.
The trumpet sounds feel so pleasant.
It’s a song that works as a lullaby not only for children but also for adults.
Piazza, New York CatcherBelle & Sebastian78rank/position
It’s a folk song composed only of an acoustic guitar and male vocals.
The song was used as an insert song in an American film featuring a teenage pregnant girl as the protagonist, and it’s just right for playing to a baby.
It is characterized by a laid-back, somewhat listless vocal style.
Moonlight SerenadeGLEN GRAY79rank/position
“Moonlight Serenade,” a globally beloved jazz piece with a distinctive sound that evokes Paris, France.
Its slow tempo is incredibly soothing, isn’t it? I’m sure you’ve heard it at least once.
Highly recommended as a lullaby.
Twinkle Twinkle Little StarJewel80rank/position
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star—in Japanese, it’s the song “Kirakira Boshi.” The American singer-songwriter Jewel has covered it.
Since the melody is the same as the Japanese version of Kirakira Boshi, it’s a Western lullaby that’s easy for children to listen to.
