Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking of The Carpenters [2026] (11–20)
Only YesterdayCarpenters16rank/position
While the Carpenters have many gentle songs, they also have numerous classics with fresh, flowing melodies.
Among them, the track I especially recommend is Only Yesterday.
Although it’s somewhat minor within their catalog, it features a very catchy and singable vocal line.
The pronunciation in the verse and pre-chorus might be a bit challenging for Japanese speakers.
If you’re not confident in English, try to sing with liaison in mind.
Rainy Days And MondaysCarpenters17rank/position
The Carpenters’ classic “Rainy Days and Mondays,” which became a global hit with its wistful, melancholic melody, is crafted as a quintessential ballad with a relaxed tempo throughout.
That alone makes it very easy to sing, but in addition, the song’s narrow vocal range is a notable feature.
For those who are older, it can be even harder to project your voice at social gatherings where alcohol is involved; however, this song is so easy to sing that you can perform it comfortably even in such situations.
SolitaireCarpenters18rank/position
I’d like to introduce a slightly unusual song here.
The Carpenters produced many pop songs known for their orthodox development, but there are also pieces that differ from typical pop music.
One such song is “Solitaire.” While the chorus is a conventional pop ballad, the verses and pre-chorus have a dreamy, ethereal quality.
This kind of melody is rare for the Carpenters, so many listeners may find it refreshing.
As for the vocal line, the range is a bit wider than usual, but not to the point of requiring falsetto, so even those who aren’t confident in their vocals can feel at ease.
SuperstarCarpenters19rank/position
Speaking of the Carpenters, their music is known for its gentle, uplifting feel, but some of their songs exude a certain sensuality.
Among those, the one I especially recommend is “Superstar.” While the chorus is set in a major key, the other sections are in a minor key, resulting in a sexy melody imbued with wistfulness throughout.
As for the vocal line, it uses a scale found in Japanese kayōkyoku (popular songs), making it one of the easiest Carpenters’ songs to sing.
We’ve Only Just BegunCarpenters20rank/position
A wedding song classic, “We’ve Only Just Begun.” Its Japanese title is “Ai no Prelude” (Prelude of Love).
As the title suggests, a prelude is an introductory piece, and the song portrays lovers embarking on a new beginning through marriage.
The melody is generally calm, but when it reaches the chorus the voltage rises a bit and an expansive, grand tune unfolds.
Hearing “grand,” many might assume it demands powerful vocals, but the impact actually comes from layering multiple chorus tracks, so even those who aren’t confident in their vocal power can sing it without worry.
