Cool and famous Western songs that are all the rage: classic hits and popular tracks (41–50)
I Want You BackThe Jackson 5
The ultimate pop-funk number! It’s so happy, pop, and cute that it feels like nothing before or after has ever topped it.
It’s a signature song of the Jackson 5, the group Michael Jackson was part of, and a track where his vocals truly shine.
Cool and popular Western music masterpieces trending in the streets (51–60)
Beautiful Now ft. Jon BellionZedd
“Beautiful Now,” a signature track by the German DJ Zedd, has many cool aspects, but I think the lyrics are especially awesome! Listen to it with the message “the present is beautiful” in mind.
Of course, the track itself is also danceable and super cool!
I Want It That WayBackstreet Boys
It’s the Backstreet Boys’ big hit from 1999.
Despite its powerful sound, “I Want It That Way” has lyrics packed with heartfelt emotions, making it a deeply bittersweet song.
Still, as the ultimate signature track from a super-popular group, it’s endlessly compelling no matter how many times you listen.
Blinding LightsThe Weeknd
The Weeknd is a Canadian singer who represents the R&B scene.
That said, he only released R&B in his early days; with Blinding Lights as the turning point, he fully shifted to synth-pop.
Synth-pop was a mainstream genre in the 1980s, and this track expresses that era’s musical sensibilities with a modern sound—nostalgic yet stylishly put together.
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.
Free SpiritKhalid
From the delay-soaked intro guitar, it’s already so cool! The lyrics and music video overflowing with hippie vibes are awesome! Was the filming location the West Coast? The vast, endless wilderness matches the song’s atmosphere perfectly.
Khalid is an alternative soul singer who delivers hits rooted in R&B.
His versatility, winning new fans across different styles, is drawing attention.
Runnin21 Savage x Metro Boomin
If you’re looking for a cool hip-hop track, I recommend “Runnin.” It’s a classic by 21 Savage—one of Atlanta’s leading rappers—and Metro Boomin, a producer hugely respected by rappers.
The song stands out for its distinctive sampling and unique flow.
Unlike run-of-the-mill trap, the flow has a playful touch, so even fans of old-school hip-hop should enjoy it.
