Blank SpaceTaylor Swift29rank/position

Taylor Swift – Blank Space

This is a song that’s sure to get the girl talk flowing if it’s playing on the way to a shopping trip with your girlfriends.

It’s very Katy Perry—she excels at songs that capture the cringey side of young love—and its message of wanting to love honestly and freely is perfect for a girl in love.

Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song (Official Music Video)

Bruno Mars is a singer-songwriter who is highly acclaimed around the world.

In the American music scene, artists are often judged more by commercial success than by pure ability, but he is one of the few who is genuinely recognized for his talent.

He has changed his musical style multiple times—pop in his early years, rock ’n’ roll in the middle, and now disco—and his taste has only gotten sharper each time.

The Lazy Song, themed around January, was created during the transitional period when he was shifting from pop to a rock ’n’ roll direction.

If you want to trace his history, this is a must-check!

I Wanna Dance With SomebodyWhitney Houston32rank/position

Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Official 4K Video)

Whitney Houston is one of the greatest singers in music history and also one of the most commercially successful divas.

While many people may think of her historic ballad “I Will Always Love You,” the song we’re introducing here, “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),” is an absolute staple of 80s pop—pure positivity at 120%! Known in Japan by the title “Suteki na Somebody,” it was released in 1987 and became a massive hit.

It received high acclaim, including winning Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female at the 30th Annual Grammy Awards.

Although the lyrics—about wanting to dance with someone who loves you—aren’t specifically about celebrating the New Year, spending the first month of the year listening to such a upbeat, poppy track might be just the boost you need for a strong start.

UnfaithfulRihanna34rank/position

Rihanna – Unfaithful (Official Music Video)

Rihanna, an artist from Barbados, a country located around the Caribbean.

In her early days she released reggae tracks, but from the mid period she began singing R&B.

These days she mainly releases dance music.

“Unfaithful” is from her R&B period in the middle of her career, and it showcases the high-quality R&B sound of the 2000s.

While it doesn’t directly take January as its theme, it portrays a woman trying to end a relationship with her partner, so I thought it was perfect for January—a time for a fresh start—and chose it for that reason.
