Rainbow Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Kill The KingRainbow1rank/position

Kill The King

A monumental hard rock classic that grabs your ears from the intro.

Known as one of Rainbow’s signature songs, this track was included on the 1978 album Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll.

The heavy, overwhelming sound woven by Ritchie Blackmore’s guitar riffs and solos, Cozy Powell’s thunderous, breakneck drumming, and Ronnie James Dio’s powerful vocals is truly stunning.

An energetic, hard-hitting number that every rock fan should hear at least once.

Tell Me Tell MeRainbow2rank/position

RAINBOW(레인보우) – Tell Me Tell Me (텔미텔미) Music Video

A cute love song with a retro vibe.

It’s the title track from RAINBOW’s first full album, “Rainbow Syndrome Part.1,” released in 2013 by the group that drew attention as KARA’s junior.

Isn’t this basically dating already…? It captures the feelings you have in that moment and makes you want to confirm where you stand.

You’re close enough to say you’re lovey-dovey, but no one’s actually said, “Let’s go out.” It’s really frustrating, right? It lines up perfectly with that feeling of “Just say it clearly!”

Spotlight KidRainbow5rank/position

RAINBOW – Spotlight Kid – LIVE IN JAPAN 1984 – No Intro

This is a classic track from Rainbow’s fifth album, Difficult to Cure (Japanese title: “I Surrender”), formed by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore after leaving Deep Purple.

Since the album’s release, it has almost always served as the opener for Rainbow’s live shows.

With its uptempo rhythm, Joe Lynn Turner’s pop-leaning vocals, and the guitar-and-keyboard solo battle culminating in a thrilling unison section, it’s a masterpiece that distills the appeal of Rainbow’s lineup at the time.
