AI Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking [2025]

StoryAI1rank/position

AI – Story

AI’s hit song “Story.” For women in their 50s, it may not be a track that hits squarely within their generation, but its popularity is so immense that most people have probably heard it at least once.

While the song carries some elements of Black music, overall it’s shaped into a catchy, singable vocal line.

The tricky part is the bridge (C section), where a technique called “fake” — a sophisticated embellishment frequently used in R&B and soul — appears.

Be sure to stay conscious of the groove when singing this section.

HappinessAI2rank/position

AI – Happiness

Released in December 2011, this song was once used for Coca-Cola’s Christmas campaign.

The opening bell sound really evokes winter and Christmas! I’m sure many of you have heard it before.

The song itself has R&B elements, with a groove that makes you move your body, and the rhythm is a bit unique.

If you try singing it without preparation, you might feel a slight rhythmic mismatch, so some practice is recommended.

Also, the song’s highest note, D#5 right before the last chorus, has tricky timing—make sure to nail it! There are lots of chorus parts too, so singing it as a duo with harmonies will sound really cool.

It’s a song that portrays “everyday love” and a “sense of happiness.” Enjoy it at karaoke!

AldebaranAI3rank/position

AI – “Aldebaran” (official video)

Singer-songwriter AI, whose exposure to authentic gospel music has formed the roots of her voice and musicality.

Her digital-only single Aldebaran, chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama Come Come Everybody, also drew attention for being written by singer-songwriter Naotaro Moriyama.

If a woman you’re interested in sings it at karaoke, a man might find his heart instantly captured from the very first line.

It’s a soulful number whose resonant ensemble stirs the heart.

Everyone is a heroAI4rank/position

“Everyone Is a Hero” Full ver. AI [Official]

Released in 2016 and used in TV commercials by the mobile carrier au, this song is an arrangement of the well-known folk dance standard “Oklahoma Mixer,” making it enjoyable for people of all ages and genders.

It also drew attention when AICHOLTZ covered it with parody lyrics as part of au’s April Fools’ project, and AI’s powerful vocals suit the song perfectly.

If you sing it at karaoke, everyone will surely start humming along, and it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.

RespectAI5rank/position

AI “Respect” (Official video) - “Respect All” -

A digital-only single by AI, released in May 2023.

This track brings out the full allure of AI’s low-register voice and is sure to overwhelm listeners.

I think the resonant vocals and hip-hop-style beat are a perfect match.

When singing it at karaoke, aim for an emotionally rich delivery and lock in with the backing track’s beat.

Try singing while envisioning a chest voice that resonates through your entire thoracic cavity.

Open your oral cavity as much as possible and aim the sound downward; doing so should produce a well-resonant chest voice, so give it a try.

Happy ChristmasAI6rank/position

AI – Happy Christmas / Happy Christmas

This is the definitive winter song by AI that celebrates the joy and happiness of Christmas! With lyrics that weave in beautifully lit landscapes and memorable encounters and farewells, it warmly embraces the hearts of listeners.

Released in November 2016, this track is AI’s very first Christmas song and was also chosen as the theme song for Aeon’s “Hello! New CHRISTMAS 2016” TV commercial.

Together with the commercial featuring actress Emi Takei, it delivers a message song that highlights the wonder of new encounters.

Perfect for livening up karaoke with friends and family.

The catchy, pop melody is very easy to sing, but try performing it with an awareness of the contrast between the restrained backing track in the first half and the uptempo shift in the chorus!

Happy Birthday to YouAI7rank/position

Happy Birthday To You

As the title suggests, this song straightforwardly delivers a message of congratulations to someone celebrating their birthday.

With a gently floating, calm sound, it beautifully conveys a warm atmosphere perfect for celebratory moments.

The lyrics, which portray the process of planning a birthday celebration, are especially noteworthy—the image of reaching the big day without having decided anything because you were thinking too hard about what would make them happy comes across as endearingly sweet.

Filled with heartfelt feelings for a special person, this is a song that radiates a sense of happiness throughout.
