Popular Karaoke: Artist Rankings [2025]
One way to prove how widely known an artist is can be found in karaoke rankings.
They’re not just popularity polls; they’re like mirrors that reflect the trends of their time.
You can glimpse many people’s feelings in them—like “I’m into this right now” or “It reminds me of back then.” Check them out and see if your favorite song is on the list.
Popular Karaoke: Artist Rankings [2025] (1–10)
PretenderOfficial HIGE DANDism1rank/position
Among Official HIGE DANDism’s songs, “Pretender” is arguably the most well-known.
Many of you have probably heard it at least once.
Although it’s known as a difficult piece, that reputation mainly comes from its prominent high notes; in fact, its overall vocal range isn’t all that wide.
The vocal line has relatively large rises and falls, but those demanding phrases don’t appear in succession.
Therefore, as long as you have the stamina to sustain the high register, it’s actually a surprisingly singable song.
Eine KleineKenshi Yonezu2rank/position
I get the impression that Kenshi Yonezu has quite a few low-range songs, so I think many of his tracks are easy for low-voiced men to sing.
The range of “Eine Kleine” is C#3–G#4.
Because the verses (A and B sections) sit very low, you might find the chorus high notes a bit tough, but it’s fine to sing them using a head-voice-based tone without forcing your chest voice.
To keep the sound from getting too thin, you can slightly strengthen the head voice or add a bit of rasp—both can enhance the vibe.
If I were a man, I’d definitely include Kenshi Yonezu’s songs in my repertoire.
Give them a try, everyone!
LokiMikito-P3rank/position
Released in 2018, this track swiftly carved its name into Vocaloid history on the strength of its momentum.
In a duet format woven by Mikito-P and Kagamine Rin, four-on-the-floor dance rock explodes.
The lyrics, which depict the behind-the-scenes of the music scene and an artist’s inner struggles, leave a strong impression, conjuring the image of young people striving to move forward while grappling with the difficulties of self-expression.
It ranked 22nd overall in JOYSOUND’s 2019 annual karaoke rankings and is included on the album DAISAN WAVE.
Get a group together at karaoke and belt it out like you’re thrashing electric guitars—guaranteed to hype up the room! It’s a number I’d also recommend to fans of rockin’ alternative “rockin’on”-style sounds.
bouquetback number4rank/position
A gem of a mid-tempo ballad by back number that portrays a young couple’s unstable relationship and deep affection.
The down-to-earth dialogue between the two reveals the subtle emotional shifts that occur in love.
Released in June 2011, the track is included on the album “Superstar” and was used as the ending theme for TBS’s COUNT DOWN TV.
Conveying the desire to keep caring for one another despite anxieties about the future, it’s a song you’ll want to take your time singing at karaoke.
Ghost RuleDECO*275rank/position
This Miku song delivers a spine-tingling thrill from the core with its striking arrangement that blends a hard rock sound with scratch effects.
Released in 2016, “Ghost Rule” is counted among DECO*27’s signature tracks and was also included on the album “GHOST” released the same year.
While the powerful, driving style is undeniably cool, the lyrics packed with a yearning to be saved are deeply affecting.
It’s quite a famous song, so it should be an easy pick to sing at karaoke with fellow Vocaloid fans.
KusushikiMrs. GREEN APPLE6rank/position
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s masterpiece “Kusushiki.” This song was chosen as the theme for the popular anime The Apothecary Diaries and, riding on the anime’s success, has drawn widespread attention.
In terms of melody, it’s an energetic major-key piece—something Mrs.
GREEN APPLE excels at—centered from the mid-low to high vocal ranges.
Not only does it feature falsetto and mixed voice, but it also delivers real power within those techniques.
If you use this song as a practice piece, your vocal ability will improve significantly.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI7rank/position
The classic hit “Bunny Girl,” which became a nationwide sensation in 2024.
It’s a breakout number by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI, winning overwhelming support from young people, especially on TikTok and Instagram.
Even most upper-grade elementary school students will likely recognize it.
With a range of mid1 C to mid2 E, it boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges in J-pop, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
