[2026] Try Singing These at Your Choir Competition! Recommended Western Songs (31–40)
Mamma MiaABBA
It’s one of ABBA’s signature songs.
A musical with the same title was produced and later adapted into a film, which brought renewed attention to the song.
Its lively rhythm, cute sound, and wonderful choral work really stand out.
I can recommend it as a choir piece with a female lead.
You Are My SunshineJimmie Davis
It’s a popular song known as the state song of Louisiana in the United States.
It was also a hit in Japan after the war.
The catchy, poppy melody is wonderful.
Please, everyone, try singing it with lots of energy! By the way, Jimmie Davis also served as the governor of Louisiana.
A Whole New WorldPeabo Bryson & Regina Belle
It’s a hugely popular song from the animated film Aladdin.
It has been covered by various artists, including Julie Andrews.
With its slow tempo and clear pronunciation, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
Perfect for a mixed choir arrangement.
High HopesPanic! At The Disco
Panic! At The Disco is one of the world’s most popular emo bands.
Their influence was so strong that at one point they were even restricted on the radio, but their messages always resonate with us.
One of their iconic songs is High Hopes.
It became a global hit as an anthem for people taking on new challenges.
Although it’s not exactly easy—since it kicks off right from the chorus—the impact when you nail it is outstanding.
Be sure to give it a listen.
Amazing GraceJudy Collins
This is a hymn written by the pastor John Newton.
He released several other hymns as well.
It is one of the songs beloved by the American public, and Judy Collins’s cover version also gained popularity in the United Kingdom.
In Japan, many artists have covered it, too.
Sung as a chorus, it is sure to envelop a competition venue in a magical atmosphere.
