Western Hip-Hop Popularity Rankings [2026] (91–100)
The MessageGrandmaster Flash & The Furious Five96rank/position
A classic that sings about the crises and anxieties of contemporary urban life, epitomized by poverty and violence in the ghetto.
Released in 1982 by the American hip-hop group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.
Their most famous track, it became a hit in the United States and across Europe.
CRESCENT MOONNLE Choppa97rank/position
Sincere in its introspection and apologies to a partner, this work offers a glimpse into a new side of NLE Choppa, an artist from Tennessee, USA.
Released in February 2025 as part of a series commemorating Black History Month, it seamlessly blends a catchy, moody beat with his emotional rap delivery.
Catapulted to stardom with 2019’s “Shotta Flow,” he now candidly acknowledges the mistakes of youth, expressing both apology and gratitude to his former partner.
The story, propelled by a rapid-fire flow, delves deeply into themes of growth and atonement, and is sure to resonate with anyone struggling with relationships.
It Takes TwoRob Base & DJ E-Z Rock98rank/position
One of their popular early tracks, released in their 1988 debut.
Highly regarded by DJs for absolutely rocking the nightclub floor, it remains a beloved classic.
It’s built on soulful, funky samples and incorporates elements of the then-dominant electro-funk and house music.
Well known as the lead track for the album’s title number, “It Takes Two.”
Uptown Funk ft. Bruno MarsMark Ronson99rank/position
It’s a song called Uptown Funk, released in 2014.
Among Bruno Mars’s tracks, it might be one of the most popular.
The producer, Mark Ronson, makes little appearances in the music video, and the way he kind of blends into the background is so deadpan that it’s funny.
Watching the video with an eye out for Mark Ronson is one fun way to enjoy it!
Bailando ft. Descemer Bueno, Gente De ZonaEnrique Iglesias100rank/position
Enrique Iglesias, an artist from Spain who enjoys international popularity.
I think very few people in Japan are familiar with Spanish artists.
However, some of you might recognize him, right? That said, while he was born in Spain, he lived in the United States from a young age, so he’s more American in a sense.
Even so, because he has many catchy songs in Spanish, he’s beloved in Latin regions as well.
His song “Bailando ft.
Descemer Bueno, Gente De Zona” is a reggaeton track that lets you experience his catchy appeal.
