Avicii – Levels

It features an irresistibly danceable uptempo beat.

The lyrics celebrate life itself rather than just a birthday, so it works for many different celebratory occasions.

The song’s dramatic shifts in tempo make it exciting to listen to, and I think it has multiple moments that are easy to get hyped about throughout.

Aerosmith – I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing (Official HD Video)

Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” became famous as the theme song for the 1998 film Armageddon.

The movie itself is quite popular, and the song is frequently played on TV and elsewhere, so its name recognition is outstanding.

It’s a slow rock ballad, and it sounds really cool when sung by someone with strong vocals.

Queen – We Will Rock You (Official Video)

Included on their sixth album, News of the World, “We Will Rock You” is known as one of Queen’s signature songs.

Created so the audience could take part, its ensemble of just handclaps and foot stomps is simple yet tremendously impactful.

With its narrow vocal range and minimal dynamics, it’s perfect as an entry point to Western pop music.

It’s a massive hit that, when sung at karaoke, is sure to get everyone joining in for a rousing sing-along.

Speaking of hit songs from the ’80s, you can’t leave out this artist’s work.

It’s also famous as a commercial jingle.

In Japan, it’s been covered by Noriyuki Makihara and Chihiro Onitsuka.

For a 40th birthday, it might be fun to watch the movie “Time After Time,” which inspired the title.

Bye Bye Bye*NSYNC47rank/position

*NSYNC – Bye Bye Bye (Official Video)

The song “Bye Bye Bye,” used as the opening for the film Deadpool & Wolverine, is, as everyone knows, a classic hit by *NSYNC.

Perhaps because it was used almost in full within the movie, the association of Deadpool = Bye Bye Bye has really stuck.

Surprisingly, the song sits in a relatively low vocal range and doesn’t require the kind of intricate, R&B-style melodic runs.

As long as you keep the groove in mind, you should be able to sing it without any issues—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Everybody Wants To Rule The WorldTears for Fears48rank/position

Tears For Fears – Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Official Music Video)

A hit song by the British band Tears for Fears.

Although the lyrics are anti-nuclear, the music has a sweeping feel that makes you want to listen to it while driving through nature.

It’s a song you’ll want to sing with a touch of melancholy.

Wake Me Up Before You Go-GoWham!49rank/position

Wham! – Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (Official Video)

The song that sparked Wham!’s surge in popularity.

This is where their remarkable run began—a track brimming with the youth and dynamism of George and Andrew.

When you want everyone to get hyped and have fun, put this on; it’s amazing how anyone can sing along in harmony, even if they don’t know Western pop.

In any case, the best way to enjoy it is to sing while dancing the Go-Go with full energy and joy.
