[Elementary School Students] Popular Western Music Rankings [By Generation]

Bars and Melody – Hopeful (Official Video)

Bars and Melody’s debut single from a talent show.

Back then, they were still boys with a touch of innocence.

This piece is an arrangement of Twista and Faith Evans’s song “Hope,” reworked around the theme of school bullying, and it moved the entire venue during their audition.

Although it features a lot of rap, I believe it’s a song that only elementary school kids can truly deliver.

Muse – Hysteria [Official Music Video]

The bassline in this song is incredibly cool.

When you think of the bass, you usually picture the unsung hero in the background, not standing out much—but in this track, the bass is all over the place and it’s awesome! I have a feeling this one’s going to inspire a lot of new bass kids.

To Be With YouMr. BIG93rank/position

Mr. Big – To Be With You 4K Video

It’s a song that was popular in Japan, a straightforward love song.

The message of “I just want you” grabs listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.

Although the band usually plays hard rock and the usual style is fundamentally different, this ballad is calming.

I’m Shipping Up To Boston – Dropkick Murphys

This one’s also a movie soundtrack.

Translating the title gives a wonderful sense of a journey heading to Boston.

If you listen when you need to get fired up, it’ll pump you up for sure and make you feel like you can do anything.

Let’s get fired up!

Jimmy Eat World – The Middle (Official Music Video)

A song released in 2001 by the American rock band Jimmy Eat World.

It’s an upbeat, rock-flavored anthem—a cool, energetic piece that says, “Don’t give up; give it everything you’ve got.”
