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!

Plain White T’s are a five-piece band from Illinois, USA.

Their music blends pop punk and pop rock with elements of emo, and they’ve earned support from some rock enthusiasts in Japan as well.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “1, 2, 3, 4.” This track is included on their second album, Big Bad World, and its acoustic sound and warm lyrics helped it gain popularity in the United States.

Born against the backdrop of 1980s eschatology and the threat of nuclear war, this song is known as one of Prince’s signature works.

Its message of “enjoy the moment” is expressed through a synth riff and danceable beat that captivate listeners.

Released in October 1982, it climbed high on the Billboard charts, and the airing of its promotional video on MTV dramatically boosted Prince’s profile.

Offering hope to those weighed down by anxiety and fear, and underscoring the importance of enjoying life, this track is a powerful companion for graduations and new beginnings alike.

It is about his family and his brother Gene “Malice” Thornton, who was also his partner in the rap duo Clipse.

After converting to Christianity, Gene changed his stage name to No Malice and began a solo career.

At first, the melody gives a nostalgic impression, but the lyrics tell the story of someone who journeys into space and returns a year later, only to find that a hundred years have passed on Earth, their beloved has died, and their family is gone.

It’s a song that could only come from Brian, with his deep knowledge of astronomy.

39’Queen

A song about an astronaut, written by Brian, who once majored in astrophysics.

He describes it as a ‘science fiction folk song.’ The high-pitched vocals heard in the chorus and other parts are by the drummer, Roger.
