Medley of Western Hit Songs

Final SongMØ

MØ – Final Song (Official Video)

She’s still a newcomer, but in 2016 her hit song suddenly became the talk of the town.

It carries a message from young people who want to enjoy it even more—“Don’t let this be the last song.” The music video, where she dances and flies freely through the air, is nothing short of wondrous.

Nick Jonas – Close ft. Tove Lo

It’s a song that portrays being head-over-heels in love—wanting to get closer and closer to the person you like, and no matter how close you get, wanting to be even closer—sung from both a male and a female perspective.

Throughout the lyrics, words related to “closeness” are repeated over and over, and the theme of “distance” is explored relentlessly.

What’s more interesting than the music itself is the music video.

It’s set in the world of serious Korean office workers, but as soon as the protagonist arrives at work, he suddenly starts dancing, and by the end he’s drawn in his coworkers and even his boss—making for a very entertaining story.

Desiigner – Panda

Here are some 2016 hit songs recommended for fans of hard-hitting hip-hop.

The rapid-fire rapping and repeatedly rolled R’s that almost blend into the beat sound incredibly cool—you’ll definitely want to listen on repeat.

It’s also a track I’d love to see dancers perform to.

WorkRihanna ft. Drake

Rihanna – Work (Explicit) ft. Drake

Here’s one of her songs from 2016, a year in which she was already cranking out hits.

As the title suggests, it’s themed around her boyfriend’s “work,” and the lyrics take the perspective of a slightly selfish girlfriend who’s a bit dissatisfied with how he’s always busy and saying it’s all about work.
