A collection of Western songs with titles that start with numbers

In this article, I’ll be introducing classic Western songs whose titles begin with numbers.

When it comes to number-starting titles, some consist of numbers only, while others have words following the numbers.

If you’re knowledgeable about Western music, you might already have a few songs in mind.

That said, we don’t often search for songs by categories like “titles that start with XX,” so this could be a great chance to discover wonderful tracks you didn’t know before.

Take this opportunity to listen to a variety of songs!

A roundup of Western songs with titles that begin with numbers (241–250)

100%Mariah Carey

100%Mariah Carey

Even in the 2020s, when you think of a “global songstress,” Mariah Carey is still the first name that comes to mind.

In Japan as well, Mariah’s popularity and recognition are overwhelming.

When it comes to her Olympics-related songs, many might recall the historic classic “Hero,” which TBS used as its theme song during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

This time, let me introduce a track released in 2010 called “100%.” It may be less well known compared to “Hero,” but it was released as a promotional single to support Team USA at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and it’s a hidden gem that was not included on any of her studio albums.

It’s an emotional ballad quintessentially Mariah, and the gospel-tinged chorus at the end along with her ultra-high notes are truly breathtaking.

As for what the title “100%” signifies, read the lyrics closely and discover its true meaning!

He’s an artist of many talents, active not only as a singer-songwriter but also as a television host.

Since releasing his debut album in 2012, he has continued to produce numerous hit songs, mainly in his home country of Germany.

His music is characterized by being decidedly pop and very easy to listen to.

Thanks to his melodic sensibility, even German—which can sometimes have a somewhat stiff image—comes across with a very soft, gentle feel in his songs.

You can feel Meek Mill’s inner conflicts and his insights into social issues.

Released in May 2024, the song is also inspired by Drake’s “timestamp series.” It features a hard-hitting beat and razor-sharp lyrics, and has been well received by fans.

It’s the kind of song that can pull you into its world when you listen to it on a late-night drive.

As a track that showcases Meek Mill’s artistic growth, it’s been drawing a lot of attention.

A song released by country singer-songwriter Megan Moroney from Douglasville, Georgia.

Dropped in March 2024, it followed her previous single “No Caller ID.” Beginning with emotive vocals and a simple piano melody, the track deepens with the sound of steel guitar, delicately narrating the pain of heartbreak and lingering memories.

It skillfully captures bittersweet recollections tied to a specific date and the way feelings evolve over time, showcasing her strong lyrical abilities.

Her collaboration with co-producer Kristian Bush also shines.

With highly relatable lyrics for anyone who’s experienced heartbreak, it’s a standout ballad you’ll want to hear in the June rain.

Metallica, the reigning kings of the world’s most successful heavy metal bands.

Their latest album, 72 Seasons, is a message-driven work that warns how past experiences can shape present actions.

The title track in particular focuses on the various traumas and influences encountered during the first 18 years of life, conveying a deep sense of introspection.

From the intro riff, the energetic performance explodes, and James Hetfield’s intensely emotional vocals make a strong impression.

There are songs reminiscent of past albums as well as punk rock–styled tracks, showcasing the band’s musical diversity.

Packed with wisdom gained through self-exploration, this tour de force is a must-listen for Metallica fans.

7 ThingsMiley Cyrus

It’s a 2008 release by Miley Cyrus with a cool, rock-inspired finish.

In contrast to its upbeat sound, the lyrics about an ex-boyfriend are poignant, but even if you’re heartbroken, this song might dry your tears.

The lively music video featuring energetic teen girls is perfect for middle schoolers.

Moneybagg Yo, a rapper representing the state of Tennessee.

His style is classic trap music, and every track has outstanding consistency.

He has a strong “thug” image, but he’s actually released love songs as well.

Among his love songs, the one I especially recommend is “123 feat.

Blac Youngsta.” As you can tell from the track and the flow, it portrays a hard-edged man’s approach to love.

It’s a love song that even fans of more masculine tracks can enjoy, so definitely give it a listen.
