[Teens] Popular Western Music Rankings [By Generation]

All About That BassMeghan Trainor8rank/position

Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass (Japan Subtitled Version)

This song is also recommended for those with husky voices.

The tempo is on the faster side, but it’s easy to sing thanks to its steady pitch.

The lyrics are wonderful as well—encouraging people who feel self-conscious about their body to be confident.

The feminine, cute music video is another highlight.

Charlie Puth – We Don’t Talk Anymore (feat. Selena Gomez) [Official Video]

It’s a love ballad by an American pop singer.

With a comfortable tempo and smooth vocals, it’s a refreshing track.

It heightens the anticipation for a day that feels like something new is waiting.

Recommended when you want to switch to a positive mindset and move forward.

Bruno Mars – Grenade (Official Music Video)

Let me introduce “Grenade,” which is also known for being nominated for Song of the Year at the 2012 Grammy Awards.

It has a sound reminiscent of 1980s hip-hop, and the lyrics depict a man’s sense of loss after being toyed with by a woman, as well as a deep love expressed as “I’d do anything for you.” Another highlight is how it presents a variety of different situations.

In fact, the lyrics are made up of relatively simple word combinations, so I think you’ll be able to learn and sing them smoothly.

Story of My LifeOne Direction11rank/position

One Direction – Story of My Life

It’s one of One Direction’s signature songs.

Although it’s a track by a male group, it might be quite nice for a woman to sing it too.

In Japan, it was used in a cell phone commercial and is a well-known song.

The tune is catchy, but it seems to describe a situation that’s a bit unsatisfying.

Let’s not sweat the small stuff and just sing it with a good feeling.

One Direction – Live While We’re Young

A teenage birthday.

If you’re going to celebrate, why not do something you can only do while you’re young? This is perfect for that.

Get together with your friends and try activities that don’t cost money—like playing tag again for the first time in ages or getting into a game of dodgeball.

It might feel silly, but it could get heated and be a lot of fun.

Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend (Official Video)

Avril Lavigne’s 2007 release “Girlfriend” is a cheerful, feel-good song that’s perfect for teenage girls.

It’s a powerful track that gets everyone hyped up, making it great for karaoke.

I think it would be fun to sing with friends, too.

RoarKaty Perry14rank/position

Katy Perry – Roar

It’s a song that says goodbye to a life spent reading people’s faces and doing whatever you’re told, and embraces living the way you want, taking responsibility for yourself.

Set to bright pop music, it celebrates that spirit of independence.

Released in 2013, it became a global hit.

Highly recommended.
