Power Of LoveHuey Lewis & The News85rank/position

Huey Lewis & the News – Power Of Love – 5/23/1989 – Slim’s (Official)

A representative song by Huey Lewis & The News, a very wholesome American hard rock band of middle-aged guys.

It’s the theme song of Back to the Future, a lively, high-energy track.

Let’s all raise our fists and have fun together.

See You Again (ft. Charlie Puth)Wiz Khalifa86rank/position

Wiz Khalifa – See You Again ft. Charlie Puth [Official Video] Furious 7 Soundtrack

A collaboration by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth released in March 2015 as a song for the film Furious 7.

Created as a tribute to Paul Walker, who died in an accident during filming, it conveys themes of friendship, parting, and the hope of reunion.

It’s a ballad that blends an emotional piano melody, soulful vocals, and powerful rap, and it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks.

Even if you’re not confident in English, the chorus melody is easy to hum, and its universal themes resonate across generations.

Singing it at occasions like wedding after-parties or farewell gatherings can create a calm, moving atmosphere as you reflect on memories with loved ones.

APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars87rank/position

ROSÉ & Bruno Mars – APT. (Official Music Video)

The song “APT.” is currently gaining popularity worldwide.

It’s a track by Rosé from the popular K-pop group BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars, who is celebrated globally for his sophisticated musical style, and it’s based on a Korean playground song.

Because it’s rooted in a children’s play song, the vocal line is simple for Western pop.

The range isn’t particularly wide, and the kind of embellishments often heard in Western music—like ad-libbed runs—hardly appear.

It’s a big hit at karaoke, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.

U Can’t Touch ThisMC Hammer88rank/position

M.C. Hammer – U Can’t Touch This

If you listened to Western music in the ’90s, you probably know “U Can’t Touch This.” It’s MC Hammer’s massive hit.

While it’s classified as contemporary R&B, it basically feels like a hip-hop track.

Even though it has lots of hip-hop elements, the flow is classic, so it doesn’t demand a strong sense of rhythm.

And since techniques like vibrato don’t come into play, if you’re confident in your pronunciation, definitely give it a try!

Speechless (from Aladdin)Naomi Scott89rank/position

Naomi Scott – Speechless (from Aladdin) (Official Video)

For those confident in their lower register, I recommend “Speechless (from Aladdin).” It’s sung by Naomi Scott, who played Jasmine in the hugely successful live-action Aladdin.

Since she isn’t primarily a singer, her vocal ability isn’t extremely high—which means the song is relatively easy to sing.

However, because it’s not a lyric-dense song, it can feel drawn out, so it can be tough if you can’t do vibrato.

The low notes at the beginning are also challenging.

Western pop is overwhelmingly more difficult than Japanese pop, so that’s something you can’t really avoid.

This is an upbeat, high-energy track with a busy vibe.

The bass and drums’ brisk rhythms lift your spirits.

It’s perfect as background music while preparing for an event or performance.

It’s the kind of song that makes you want to set up quickly—the feeling of being urged on is irresistible.

By the WayRed Hot Chili Peppers91rank/position

Red Hot Chili Peppers – By The Way [Official Music Video]

This song brilliantly captures the exhilaration and anxiety of love.

Its lyrics, rich with vivid imagery and metaphor, paint a raw portrait of the emotional roller coaster of falling in love.

Released in July 2002, the track marked a turning point that showcased a new facet of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ musical identity.

Issued as the lead single from the album “By The Way,” it blends funk and rock while incorporating melodic elements.

It’s a perfect choice for those who want to light up a karaoke session—its catchy rhythm and memorable melody are sure to energize the room.
