Cool and famous Western songs that are all the rage: classic hits and popular tracks (41–50)
Break Free ft. ZeddAriana Grande
Global songstress Ariana Grande—her coolness goes without saying, but the sheer impact of her collaboration with DJ Zedd, “Break Free,” is tremendous.
That chorus melody is unbelievably memorable, and paired with the four-on-the-floor dance beat, it creates an ultra-danceable atmosphere.
Bring Me To LifeEvanescence
This is a massive hit by Evanescence, a heavy mix-genre rock band that started gaining traction in the 2000s.
The female vocalist’s voice is striking—crystal-clear yet commanding.
The section where the male chorus-style rap comes in is also really cool.
The rhythm pounds away, relentlessly heavy.
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.
Born for ThisRoyal Deluxe
Singer-songwriter Tyrone Wells, based in Washington.
Sam Getz, the guitarist and vocalist of the alternative rock band Welshly Arms.
Jimmy Weaver, who plays bass in Welshly Arms.
Together, they form the four-person alternative rock project Royal Deluxe.
Their track “Born for This” is one of their coolest works—powerful and compelling alternative rock.
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.
