Cool and famous Western songs that are all the rage: classic hits and popular tracks (41–50)
CenturiesFall Out Boy
Fall Out Boy is a rock band from Illinois.
Known for a sound rooted in punk—such as pop punk and punk rock—they were on hiatus for a time, but are now active at the forefront of the punk rock scene.
Among their works, the especially cool track is Centuries.
The energy is high from the very first verse, and it ramps up even more in the chorus—an outstandingly hot and stylish number.
Cool and popular Western music masterpieces trending in the streets (51–60)
Bye Bye Bye*NSYNC
The song “Bye Bye Bye,” used as the opening for the film Deadpool & Wolverine, is, as everyone knows, a classic hit by *NSYNC.
Perhaps because it was used almost in full within the movie, the association of Deadpool = Bye Bye Bye has really stuck.
Surprisingly, the song sits in a relatively low vocal range and doesn’t require the kind of intricate, R&B-style melodic runs.
As long as you keep the groove in mind, you should be able to sing it without any issues—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
New York CityKYLIE MINOGUE
A diva who dominated the 2000s makes a triumphant return to the charts.
While retaining her signature nu-disco vibe, she embraces a trend-conscious direction and proves she’s still at the top of her game.
Released in May 2019 as a digital single, the song is about the city of New York.
It weaves in her personal memories and feelings about the city.
The producer is drum and bass legend DJ Fresh.
Smells Like Teen SpiritNirvana
I picked an ultra-famous, iconic song.
It’s the kind of track that always shows up in Western music features, and anyone who likes Western music above a certain age can sing it.
It’s cool, it’s a classic, and it’s hard to believe this song came out nearly 30 years ago.
If you’re thinking of starting electric guitar, this might be a great song to begin with.
Youngblood5 Seconds of Summer
5 Seconds of Summer is an Australian pop-rock band, commonly known by the abbreviation 5SOS.
They originally started as YouTubers who posted covers of various artists’ songs on YouTube, but their third album, Youngblood, reached number one on the charts in Australia.
The term “youngblood” carries the sense of “a first-time experience,” and the song depicts the protagonist being pushed around by his selfish girlfriend.
Miss Me MoreKelsea Ballerini
This song, included on the 2017 album “Unapologetically,” is a love song that conveys a powerful, independent view of romance from a woman’s perspective.
The lyrics depict Kelsea Ballerini looking at herself objectively as she tries to become the kind of woman her partner prefers, while also reexamining who she truly is.
It’s a song that champions a woman with a firm backbone—someone who won’t be dependent on her partner.
Heat ft. GunnaChris Brown
Chris Brown has gained worldwide popularity with his overwhelming dance performances and steady vocals.
He was hugely active in the 2000s and continues to lead the R&B scene today.
He’s released countless cool tracks, but one I especially recommend is “Heat” ft.
Gunna.
Featuring rapper Gunna, the track creates a very cool vibe with Gunna’s sleek rap and Chris Brown’s sexy vocals.
