Medley of Western Hit Songs
I’ve put together a playlist of international hits from 2016 that were popular around the world.
A lot of these are songs you probably heard over and over throughout the year.
They all have a stylish vibe, so they’re great as background music while you work or as a companion for a drive!
Since it’s packed with popular tracks, it’s also perfect for anyone who wants to get into Western music but isn’t sure where to start.
Medley of Western Hit Songs (1–10)
We Don’t Talk AnymoreCharlie Puth
It faithfully and sadly portrays the feelings of a man and a woman after a breakup.
Even though they actually want to talk to each other after the relationship ends, they’re afraid of being disliked or seen as clingy, so they can’t do anything—and that’s a point many people can relate to.
Work from HomeFifth Harmony ft. Ty Dolla $ign
It’s a song about a girl who feels lonely because her boyfriend is always on the night shift and never at home.
With lines like “Don’t go to work” and “Work from home,” it’s a track that clingy girls who want to be with their boyfriend 24/7 will definitely relate to.
Send My Love (To Your New Lover)Adele
It’s a heartbreak song about when your ex gets a new girlfriend.
With lyrics like “We’re not kids anymore,” it resonates with adults in love.
The music video’s aesthetic, the music, and her voice are all unique, and once you hear it, you can’t get it out of your head.
WhyAndra
It’s a song about a woman who, wounded by love, decides to leave her boyfriend.
It’s a ballad where her desperate cries—asking “Why do you hurt me so much?” and “Why does it hurt this badly?”—convey her pain and fragile heart with piercing intensity.
Into YouAriana Grande
The title is “Crazy About You.” As the title suggests, it sings about being completely captivated by someone you love and enjoying a scandalous relationship that treats romance like a game.
The sexy, slightly provocative words might make your heart race as you listen.
This is What You Came ForCalvin Harris ft. Rihanna
This time, Calvin collaborated with Rihanna, who always draws attention every time a new song drops.
The sound of this track is just plain cool, with a great groove, making it perfect for clubs—it’s already become a staple dance track of 2016.
ToothbrushDNCE
It’s a song about an ordinary couple’s relationship.
Lines like “Mind if I close the bedroom door?” and “You can leave your toothbrush here tonight” add a subtly sexy, mature vibe that you just won’t be able to look away from.
