[Elementary School Students] Popular Western Music Rankings [By Generation] (71–80)

My WayFrank Sinatra76rank/position

It’s one of the world’s most iconic songs, loved by people of all ages.

Since dads and moms often hum it, children naturally learn it too.

As long as you can sing the “my way” part, you’re pretty much set, so it’s a number that elementary school kids love.

Among Michael Jackson’s songs, this one is relatively easy to catch and has a relaxed melody, so it’s easy to remember and a good song.

Even junior high school students should be able to understand it well.

The chorus is especially easy to remember, so it’s recommended for singing.

Let’s Get It StartedThe Black Eyed Peas78rank/position

The Black Eyed Peas – Let’s Get It Started
Let's Get It StartedThe Black Eyed Peas

A hit song by The Black Eyed Peas that instantly flips you into go-mode with a “Alright, let’s start from here!” vibe.

Since it’s rap, I think the difficulty is high, but the chorus is repetitive, and kids who take dance lessons could ride the rhythm and sing it really cool.

Heartbreak AnniversaryGiveon79rank/position

GIVĒON – Heartbreak Anniversary (Official Music Video)

One of the most popular R&B numbers on TikTok, “Heartbreak Anniversary,” is a song by the soulful singer Giveon, known for his distinctive musical style.

Even elementary school students may have heard it through TikTok or Instagram.

While genres like R&B and soul tend to be challenging, this song is relatively easy for its type.

However, techniques like runs and vibrato are unavoidable, so it’s a piece best suited for elementary school students who are already accustomed to singing Western pop music.

Avril Lavigne is a singer-songwriter who gained immense popularity from her teens in the early 2000s.

This song was released as a single in 2002.

Following her debut single, “Complicated,” it became a worldwide hit.

The title uses youth slang to refer to a “skater boy.” It’s a catchy rock number, and Avril’s slightly cheeky vibe makes it especially charming.
