Included on the 1988 album “Stay on These Roads.” A three-piece pop band from Norway formed in 1982.

The upbeat rhythm with a lively tempo and the bright tones of the synthesizer create a melody brimming with pop sensibility, and Morton’s refreshing vocals make it an invigorating listen.

The Beach Boys, the pioneers of male vocal groups like the Backstreet Boys and One Direction.

“Surfin’ U.S.A.” is a classic of surf rock that evokes California’s sunny skies and vast ocean, and it’s also the song that made them break through.

It’s been played in all kinds of media around the world, so even after all these years since its release, it’s one of those timeless hits that everyone has heard.

The crisp, sun-drenched guitar strums a bluesy intro, and just hearing it transports you straight to the California coast.

It’s a classic you’ll want to play when you want to feel summer!

Marshmello – Alone (Fortnite Music Video)

Even now, it sounds incredibly futuristic.

It’s a catchy track, but it sings about loneliness—about being ignored by everyone and saying that home is the best in the lyrics.

Amid all that, there’s a desire to be acknowledged and, after all, to catch girls’ attention.

That yearning makes the message even more poignant, further elevating the melody and leaving an emotional impression.

It’s a reissue of a song released in 2016.

For the first time in history, K-POP has snatched the No.

1 spot in the U.S.! This is exactly how BTS should be! It makes you feel that way—the vibe is so different it makes their previous dark style seem like a lie.

From the intro to the outro, it’s refreshingly upbeat and undeniably a track that lifts your mood! The choreography is sharp and so satisfying to watch! I’m not sure how hardcore fans are rating it, but they’re definitely gaining new ARMY with this one.
