Ranking of Western Songs That Get the Crowd Going at Karaoke [2026] (81–90)

SeñoritaShawn Mendes & Camila Cabello85rank/position

A song I recommend when going to karaoke with a man and a woman is Señorita.

It’s by Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes, and the two started dating because of this track.

Fitting that background, the song has a very passionate feel.

Since it’s a duet, I think it will be a big hit if a man and a woman sing it together.

However, your partner may not always be able to carry it through.

While it might seem difficult, it’s surprisingly manageable to sing solo as well, so give it a try.

Many people in their 50s today were surely inspired by Guns to aim to be singers or pick up a guitar.

Their historic, classic debut album, Appetite for Destruction, released in 1987, is full of great songs, but the masterpiece Sweet Child O’ Mine—known for topping the Billboard chart and later being covered by Sheryl Crow, who won a Grammy for it—is a staple of karaoke.

Its melody is easy to remember, and Axl Rose’s signature high-pitched shouts aren’t as intense as in some of their other tracks, so it seems relatively singable.

By the way, Slash’s intro riff is now the stuff of legend, but it’s funny that he himself didn’t consider it all that serious at the time.

HaloBeyoncé87rank/position

This is an empowering anthem by Beyoncé, whose luxurious artistry and exhilarating, energetic vocal work enjoy absolute popularity.

With its glamorous atmosphere that boosts your excitement, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to sing it at karaoke.

This is a signature song by Aqua, a Eurodance-pop group from Denmark, known for its catchy melody and playful lyrics.

Released in May 1997, the track became a massive hit, selling over 8 million copies worldwide.

While the lyrics, inspired by Barbie dolls, may seem light and fun at first glance, they actually contain satire about consumerism and gender roles.

It’s the perfect song to amp up the energy at karaoke, offering feel-good excitement even if you’re not confident in your singing.

If everyone joins in with enthusiasm, it’s sure to instantly lift the atmosphere of the venue.

A signature song from One Direction’s debut album “Up All Night” that propelled them to global stardom.

It’s also well known for winning the British Single of the Year at the 2012 BRIT Awards.

Born from the songwriter’s real-life experience, the heartwarming message—encouraging a loved one who feels “I’m not beautiful”—never fails to stir the emotions with every listen.

From the intro’s guitar riff it’s irresistibly catchy, and the unforgettable melody is guaranteed to light up any karaoke session.

The chorus is super simple, so even if you’re not confident in your English pronunciation, you can power through it—perfect for a big sing-along.

It’s the ultimate feel-good anthem.

Then the catchy, poppy chorus, bursting with energy and exhilaration, is a real crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

A true New Yorker born in Brooklyn.

One of diva Cyndi’s signature songs—she was hailed from her debut as having a “rainbow of voices”—it’s perfect for a girls’ night where, no matter your age, you get together and have carefree, lively fun.

By the way, the fact that Cyndi’s real mother appears in the music video makes it feel authentic and adds to the fun.
