YES Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

MagnificationYES21rank/position

Yes: Magnification: 1. Magnification.

Between 2005 and 2008, Yes went on hiatus.

Before that break, they created an album called Magnification with a lineup that, remarkably, omitted keyboards and featured a full orchestra.

Its title track is a masterpiece where the grandeur of orchestral sound merges with progressive rock.

Open Your EyesYES22rank/position

YES – OPEN YOUR EYES

This is the title track from the 1997 album Open Your Eyes.

On this song, Steve Porcaro of TOTO appears as a guest, stepping in for departing keyboardist Rick Wakeman.

As a huge Yes fan, Steve delivers a performance brimming with his love for the band, making it a track you can truly enjoy.

Rhythm of LoveYES23rank/position

Yes – Rhythm Of Love (Official Music Video)

A track from YES’s second album after their comeback (the 12th overall), Big Generator, which was released in September 1987.

The album was produced following the success of its predecessor, 90125, but the process was fraught with difficulties, including the departure of Trevor Horn—who had also produced the previous album—partway through.

The producer role was instead handled by guitarist Trevor Rabin.

In terms of sound and direction, I think it further refines the pop, modern, and concise pop-song approach established on 90125, achieving a higher level of polish.

However, due to the troubled production, the release was pushed back by nearly a year from the original plan, and perhaps because of that, it didn’t match the sales of its predecessor.

Even so, listening again now, the sound design fully showcases Trevor Rabin’s technical and versatile guitar work and skillful harmonies, and I have no doubt it’s a timeless classic!

RitualYES24rank/position

The Ritual Nous Somme Du Soleil in HD by Yes

The track Ritual (Japanese title: Gishiki) closes out the sixth studio album, Tales from Topographic Oceans, released in 1973.

As its name suggests, it’s distinguished by an oriental, mystical sound driven by the timbre of the electric sitar and lyrics imbued with religious and philosophical overtones.

Crafted under a grand concept, this over-20-minute epic is packed with quintessential prog elements.

It’s a piece that lets you forget the real world and immerse yourself in a completely different worldview.

Saving My HeartYES25rank/position

Yes: “Saving My Heart”

A track from the 1991 release “Kesshō” (Crystal).

Many people probably love its pleasant, laid-back medium tempo.

Their beautiful harmonies are quintessentially the “Yes” sound.

It’s a number that just feels great to listen to.

Be sure to pay close attention to the chorus, too!
