If I Can’t Have YouShawn Mendes51rank/position
Shawn Mendes is a Canadian singer-songwriter known for his sweet, captivating vocals.
Did you know that this track, released in May 2019, was actually written for Dua Lipa? The earnest lyrics insisting that everything is meaningless without the one you love tighten the chest all the more because of their contrast with the sparkling, upbeat melody.
As he himself has said, it’s a work he’s truly proud of, brimming with energy that uplifts its listeners.
Included on the deluxe edition of the album “Shawn Mendes,” it became so beloved that it racked up over a billion plays on U.S.
radio.
It’s the perfect song for anyone caught up in a one-sided crush or for those moments when you want to boost your mood and feel more positive!
Born to RunBruce Springsteen52rank/position
When it comes to American rock stars who defined the 1970s, Bruce Springsteen is the one, right? His poetic lyrics about the lives of the American working class are unforgettable.
He released his debut albums, “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.” and “The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle,” in 1973, but it was 1975’s “Born to Run” that became a massive hit.
His 1984 album “Born in the U.S.A.” reached No.
1 on the U.S.
charts, with all its singles landing in the Top 10.
He has won 20 Grammy Awards and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
His energetic live shows can last over four hours.
His music undoubtedly resonates with people of all ages!
We Are YoungFun53rank/position
The fan favorite “We Are Young,” which won Song of the Year at the 55th Grammy Awards in 2013.
It’s a piece with a modern melody characteristic of indie pop, and actually, it’s quite easy to sing.
Thinking, “Huh? But isn’t this song high?” Yes, there are high parts.
But you know what? If the high notes are tough, just lower the key.
The only high section is the long tone in the chorus.
If you can get through that, the rest has a calm melody, so it ends up sounding pretty good.
Lower the key to suit your voice and give it a try.
Beautiful ThingsBenson Boone54rank/position
A gem of a ballad by American singer-songwriter Benson Boone, poignantly singing of feelings for a loved one.
Expressing both gratitude for irreplaceable happiness and the anxiety of losing it, the song was released by Warner Records in January 2024 and dominated charts around the world, including in Australia and Canada.
It has received high praise across the board, winning Best Alternative Video at the MTV Video Music Awards, among other accolades.
It’s a perfect track for sharing cherished moments with someone you love, or for expressing renewed thanks on an anniversary.
His first Japan concert is scheduled for January 2025 in Tokyo, and anticipation is growing in Japan.
One Call AwayCharlie Puth55rank/position
Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who achieved worldwide fame with the Furious 7 theme song See You Again, captivates many fans with his sweet vocals and perfect pitch.
The song introduced here is a heartfelt ballad he released as a single in August 2015 and later included on his debut album Nine Track Mind.
Set to a piano-driven, soulful melody, it sings of love that transcends distance and of unconditional support.
Its message—that even without any special powers, he’d rush to your side with just a phone call—will resonate deeply with those in long-distance relationships or anyone feeling lonely.
Peaking at No.
12 on the Billboard charts, this is a classic you’ll want to play on a quiet night when you’re thinking of someone special.
Uptown GirlBilly Joel56rank/position
This song features a lively melody strongly influenced by 1960s doo-wop.
Billy Joel skillfully portrays a universal love story in which a working-class young man falls in love with a woman from high society.
Set to a bright, cheerful tune, the piece depicts a romance that transcends social class and was released as a single from the album An Innocent Man in September 1983.
It reached No.
1 in the UK and became a major hit, selling approximately 975,000 copies.
In 1984, it was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award and received high praise as a sophisticated pop tune.
Its upbeat rhythm and hopeful message encourage a positive outlook on love.
I Want You BackThe Jackson 557rank/position
They’re the original male group, and in the Black music scene I think they set the standard for everything.
You can see that even in Japan.
Folder5 and Pizzicato Five also trace back to them.
Daichi Miura covered them before his voice changed and became a hot topic as the “Japanese Michael Jackson.” Motown’s feel-good pop sound still makes the heart dance.
It’s a cute track where Afro-era Michael’s effort shines, and it’s among their most popular songs.
Open ArmsJourney58rank/position
Journey, the legendary band that defined an era in the ’80s.
They’ve produced many timeless songs, but among them, “Open Arms” stands out as a bittersweet yet heartwarming ballad that has earned widespread acclaim.
Steve Perry’s crystalline vocals and the song’s warm melody have touched countless listeners, winning enduring love not only in the United States but also in Japan.
Since its 1982 release, it has garnered glowing praise, even taking the top spot on VH1’s “25 Greatest Power Ballads,” a testament to its undeniable quality.
If you’re looking to dive into rock ballads, be sure to give it a listen.
Lost in loveAir Supply59rank/position
This is the song “Lost in Love” by Air Supply, which was a massive hit worldwide.
It’s the kind of song that brings to mind a summer sunset.
The high, soaring vocals are soothing, aren’t they? Why not give it a listen when you’re worn out from crying over a broken heart?
CreepRadiohead60rank/position
In the early 1990s, the Oxford-born rock band Radiohead released their debut track, which initially struggled at No.
78 on the UK charts but caught fire on radio in Israel and the United States, and upon reissue became a smash hit, reaching No.
7.
Beginning with a quiet arpeggio and exploding into distorted guitars in the chorus, the song poignantly expresses feelings of alienation and unfulfilled longing—of sensing you “don’t belong here.” This grunge number, where introspective lyrics intersect with a fierce sound, evokes the conflicts and bittersweetness of youth.
At karaoke, leaning into the contrast between calm and intensity is sure to resonate across generations.
