My HumpsThe Black Eyed Peas50rank/position

The Black Eyed Peas – My Humps

This song has a distinctive groove.

Because it has that dance-music vibe typical of Western pop, it might feel challenging.

But conversely, if you can master this song, you’ll be able to sing most Western dance music.

James Blunt – You’re Beautiful (Official Music Video) [4K]

James Blunt’s classic “You’re Beautiful.” It became well-known in Japan after being used in a Toyota commercial.

It’s a fairly popular song in Japan, but the truth is that it’s actually hugely disliked overseas.

According to statistics from OnePoll.

com, it ranked number one as “the most annoying song of all time.” Blunt himself also placed fourth in a UK “most annoying things” ranking (lol).

The song itself is simple, so I think it’s super easy to sing.

Karma ChameleonCulture Club52rank/position

Culture Club – Karma Chameleon (Official Music Video)

Culture Club, a band that gained popularity in the 1980s.

Their musical style, which incorporated not only rock but also synthwave and adult contemporary—the trends of the time—was truly distinctive.

Among Culture Club’s songs, the one I particularly recommend for being easy to sing is Karma Chameleon.

With a cheerful yet laid-back melody and vocal line that evokes a tropical vibe, it’s a song that’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.

Extreme – More Than Words (Official Music Video)

Because it’s a slow-tempo song with few key changes throughout, it’s easy for people in their 40s to sing.

It’s also in a male key, so it’s easier even for those who find it hard to hit higher notes lately.

If you practice harmonizing with a friend, it will sound more authentic and make the song even more enjoyable.

S.

R&B chart and No.

Why not revel in it to your heart’s content while savoring the universal appeal of music?

All I Want for Christmas Is YouMerry Christmas55rank/position

Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You (Official Video)

Mariah Carey’s signature song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Although this piece is often cited as a difficult song, it’s not without singable elements.

The tricky part is mainly the slow-tempo opening; once the beat kicks in and the tempo picks up, the kind of wide-interval vocal runs heard in the intro appear less frequently.

Even so, the overall difficulty remains on the higher side, but given its top-tier recognition and popularity, it’s well worth the challenge.

Although it’s limited to the Christmas season, it was also used as a TV drama theme song, and singing it while imagining yourself as the drama’s heroine feels wonderful.

Her songs are in a relatively high key, so it’s quite challenging, but with practice you’ll be fine—you’ll surely be able to sing it well.
