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!

100 BagsStormzy

“100 Bags,” a track from British grime scene stalwart Stormzy’s 2017 album Gang Signs & Prayer.

Renowned for his lyrical talent and distinctive musical style, Stormzy lays bare his past and feelings for his family on this song as well.

In particular, his gratitude toward the mother who raised him as a single parent and his strong resolve to succeed in music to make her life easier leave a lasting impression.

Set to a sound that fuses grime and hip-hop, Stormzy’s emotions come through directly.

It’s a standout song that makes a great Mother’s Day gift and is recommended for anyone who values the bond between parent and child.

It’s a melancholic, wistful song included on an album released by the Finnish metal band Stratovarius.

Timo Tolkki’s soaring high-tone vocals and consistently melodic guitar work are wonderfully pleasing.

The title track from the 1992 album “40oz.

to Freedom.” A three-piece punk band from California formed in 1988.

This is the title-track number from their first album released during their indie days.

Their punk style infused with reggae elements was already fully formed, making it a track that conveys a one-of-a-kind originality.

A song by the glam rock band T.

Rex, led by British musician Marc Bolan.

In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the 2008 film 20th Century Boys and has also appeared in many commercials.

It’s an upbeat track that gets you excited the moment you hear the guitar in the intro—you can tell what song it is right away.

Tate McRae is one of the most prominent female singer-songwriters right now.

She’s such a famous artist that many of you probably already know her.

She has many hit tunes, but the one I especially recommend is 2 hands.

While falsetto appears in the chorus, the vocal line itself is gentle, so as long as you’re comfortable with higher notes, it’s relatively easy to keep your pitch steady.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Taylor Swift is a pop star from the United States.

Her fifth album, 1989, is a landmark work that marked her shift from country to pop.

Released in 2014, the album captivated listeners around the world with its fresh sound inspired by 1980s synth-pop.

Generating numerous hit songs like “Shake It Off” and “Blank Space,” it won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

Showcasing Swift’s musical talent and expressive power to the fullest, 1989 can be considered a masterpiece that opened up a new horizon in pop music.

16 CandlesThe Crests

Don’t you think it could be nice to set the mood for a birthday with a moody song? In that case, I’d like to recommend “16 Candles.” It’s a piece by the vocal group The Crests.

As the title suggests, the lyrics celebrate someone turning sixteen.

At first listen, it may sound like a lover is doing the celebrating, but there’s also an interpretation that it’s a father expressing love to his daughter.

And at this point, some of you might be wondering, “Why sixteen?” In the United States, sixteen is considered a gateway to adulthood, and it’s celebrated in a big way.
