MARIA’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
Far Away feat. LUVRAWMARIA1rank/position
As the queen of female rap, MARIA is respected by many rappers.
She has taken on a variety of styles—from authentic trap music to hardcore tracks—but with “Far Away feat.
LUVRAW,” she delivers a melodic song that blends elements of slow jams and R&B.
It’s a track that even women who aren’t into rapid-fire rap, hard-hitting gangsta rap, or Chicano rap can enjoy.
Definitely give it a listen.
Helpless HoeMARIA2rank/position
Recently, more skilled female rappers like Chanmina and Ciber Rui have been emerging.
These days, in terms of pure skill it’s Ciber Rui, and in terms of popularity it’s Chanmina who could be called the queens of female hip-hop, right? Before they came onto the scene, MARIA was renowned as the queen.
A track where you can savor her rapid-fire flow is “Helpless Hoe.” From the very first verse, the fast-paced rap energy hits hard.
Need No Plans (Prod. by G.RINA)MARIA3rank/position
MARIA, the queen of females and also known as a member of SIMI LAB.
From her EP “True Color,” the track I want to recommend is “Need No Plans (Prod.
by G.RINA).” It’s a talked-about song produced by singer-songwriter and trackmaker G.RINA.
MARIA sings leisurely about spending time with close friends.
Highlights include elements like sampled call-and-response chants that convey the lively atmosphere.
Gently swaying cherry-blossom sky…MARIA4rank/position
Released in February 2008, this is MARIA’s fourth single.
It is also included on their second album, Day by Day, released in September 2009.
The lyrics depict two people who became a couple during the season when cherry blossoms flutter in the air.
It’s a mutual-love song that expresses the wish for these joyful moments to last forever.
Kirari☆SummerMARIA5rank/position
MARIA is a rock band that featured Maiko, also known for her work with the girls’ band ZONE.
Their song “Kirari Natsu” is characterized by a light, breezy rhythm that evokes the pleasant sunshine of summer.
The bright, refreshing vocals are striking, carrying an energy that lifts up the listener.
The simple yet catchy melody sticks in your head and makes you want to hum along! The arrangement, highlighted by the beautiful tone of the acoustic guitar, is perfect for enjoying a cool, refreshing summer vibe.
A small poemMARIA6rank/position
A powerful debut track where heartfelt cries ring out over a lively rock sound.
It’s a song by MARIA, a band formed around former ZONE member Maiko, released in March 2006 and used as the opening theme for the anime Yakitate!! Japan.
Debuting at No.
10 on the Oricon charts, it clearly shows how much attention it drew at the time.
The rich ensemble created by the unusual twin-guitar, twin-bass lineup is overwhelming.
And the lyrics—anxieties about whether one’s voice will be heard, alongside the earnest desire to make it reach—strike listeners straight in the heart.
With this song, why not embrace both your struggles and your hopes, and take your next step forward?
I Have Confidence (With Confidence)MARIA7rank/position
Encouraged by the abbess, Maria has resolved to become the von Trapp family’s governess.
Even so, she can’t quite hide her anxieties.
This is the song that plays as Maria leaves the abbey and travels to the von Trapp household.
It’s charming how the verse begins brimming with unease, then bursts into a buoyant surge of self-confidence as she forges ahead.
The guitar case in her hand even looks like a weapon protecting her.
It’s a song that gives you a sense that something is about to happen.
