The globally popular hit “Blinding Lights.” This work is one of The Weeknd’s signature songs and is known as a forerunner of the synthwave and synth-pop boom.

Its flowing melody is striking, and while the high tone of the vocals continues throughout, the actual range isn’t all that wide, so if you set the key properly, it’s surprisingly singable.

There’s also hardly any use of techniques like “feints” (vocal riffs or embellishments), so consider adding it to your repertoire.

What Do You Mean?Justin Bieber

You might sometimes struggle to choose songs to play at a party, but Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” is a great pick that solves that problem.

Its rhythmic, feel-good beat gets people moving naturally and lifts the mood.

The melody, showcasing Justin Bieber’s hit-making talent, is sure to be enjoyable for everyone—young or old, even those who don’t usually listen to Western pop.

Play it at a wedding after-party or a BBQ, and it will make the atmosphere even more lively.

With this track, you can feel confident about your playlist.
