Into YouAriana Grande21rank/position

This is an uplifting song by the charismatic artist Ariana Grande, who expresses the texture of urban rhythm and blues within a mainstream dimension.
She is highly popular in Japan as well, and her style makes teenage girls want to sing it at karaoke.
Break FreeAriana Grande/Zedd22rank/position

Ariana Grande, who is extremely popular among young people around the world.
At first, she was in a relationship, but as time went on, she realized that being with that person only led to constant trouble and wasn’t good for her.
So she decides, “I’m breaking free now!”—it’s a powerful song.
Hey BrotherAvicii23rank/position

It has nothing but elements that make you want to dance to the sound.
As you can see from the lyric video, it’s a song you can sing with clear, distinct pronunciation, one word at a time, so I think it’s easy to try.
There are also many instrumental sections, so there’s plenty of time for everyone to get hyped together with friends.
I Want It That WayBackstreet Boys24rank/position

The song “I Want It That Way,” a hit by the popular American male group Backstreet Boys, was released in 1999.
It’s a timeless track loved around the world.
This poignant ballad really tugs at the heartstrings.
Its melody is easy for women to sing as well, making it a great song to perform at karaoke for friends and others to enjoy.
I Got YouBebe Rexha25rank/position

The rhythm is relatively slow, making it easy to sing.
I also recommend it because not only the melody but the English itself is simple.
Even in the chorus, there aren’t any fast, tongue-twisting lines; the catchy lyrics are repeated, so it’s easy for listeners to get hyped up.
