Fun Foreign Pop Songs Ranking [2026] (71–80)

It’s a positive song that cheerfully sings about dreams.

Starting with the bold line “I hate being poor!”, it’s a track about money that carries a straightforward, uplifting message: “If you want to be rich, let’s work!” In a sense, it feels like a hymn to labor.

It’s the complete opposite of gangsta hip-hop—a refreshing song delivered by Liam Payne and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie over a breezy beat.

Catchy, moderately upbeat, and a fan favorite.

Post Malone (feat. RANI)Sam Feldt77rank/position

“Post Malone” is a track by Dutch DJ and producer Sam Feldt in collaboration with singer RANI.

It’s a bit confusing, but the title refers to Post Malone, the American rapper known for throwing extravagant parties.

He’s finally made it into a song title.

When you’re in the mood to let loose—or for any party—put this on, channel your inner Post Malone, and have a great time! If you’re into Western pop, the name should sound familiar.

The song is rooted in smooth house, with pleasantly tribal percussion sounds.

Carrie Underwood is a singer who won an American idol audition show and, using that as a springboard, rose to become a global star.

With a refreshing four-on-the-floor dance beat, this energetic track is a real pick-me-up, and the lively music video—showcasing everything from her dazzling stage performances to scenes of her enjoying activities surrounded by nature—is also a highlight.

Africa Bambaataa, a father-like figure who named Black creative culture “hip-hop.” This is a pivotal track in music history said to have influenced all dance music.

You can feel the foundation, the origin—sound expressed purely on instinct.

It makes you want to nod your head.

If you listen closely, there’s a sense of freedom, too.

The rhythm in the latter half is really fun!

Drown (feat. Clinton Kane)Martin Garrix80rank/position

A break featuring a beautiful melody that feels like you can hear a massive sing-along from the crowd on the dance floor, and a drop that uses tension and release in a way that epitomizes the 2020s—true new-generation sound.

It’s a singalong-friendly dance-pop track featuring singer-songwriter Clinton Kane.

In stark contrast to past EDM, it forgoes flashy effects and over-the-top drum rolls, opting for a relatively gentle arrangement that feels pleasant.

Perhaps this is the kind of mood the times are calling for.
