Wham! – Last Christmas (Official Video)

A warm pop song that brings back memories of old Christmas parties.

The lyrics, filled with the pain of heartbreak and the hope for new love, are striking.

Released in December 1984, the song spent five consecutive weeks at No.

As one of Wham!’s signature hits, it has remained beloved for many years, and a film of the same name was released in 2019.

Queen – I Want To Break Free (Official Video)

The song “I Want to Break Free,” included on the 11th album The Works and also known for its music video—a parody of the British TV drama Coronation Street—that sparked mixed reactions.

Because of its lyrics, it became popular in South America at the time as an anthem of freedom for people suffering under oppressive regimes.

Its vocal range is narrow and the pitch movement isn’t drastic, so you can sing it comfortably while listening to the ensemble.

If possible, I’d like you to sing it with an understanding of the lyrics—this is a soulful pop tune.

This song is filled with the joy of celebrating youth and freedom, and just listening to it makes your heart start to dance.

You can feel the exhilaration of becoming the star of the dance floor through the lyrics.

Released as a single in Sweden in August 1976, it went on to become a worldwide hit.

It remains a beloved classic to this day, appearing in works like the film “Mamma Mia!”.

Of ABBA’s 14 Top 40 hits, this is said to be the only one that reached number one in the United States.

Why not let the music carry you and sing along with a smile, as you reminisce about a nostalgic page of your youth?

We Will Rock YouQueen4rank/position

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.

Cyndi Lauper – Time After Time (Official HD Video)

A timeless masterpiece from Cyndi’s debut album, released as the third single—still fresh even 40 years on.

Its level of perfection at debut was astonishing.

The lyrics resonate deeply whether sung by a man or a woman.

Even in the heyday of MTV, this music video stood out, gripping viewers’ hearts and never letting go.

A song you’ll want to sing on a slightly chilly night by candlelight.

Open ArmsJourney6rank/position

Journey – Open Arms (Official Video – 1982)

A single cut from Journey’s monster album Escape, this is a quintessential rock ballad.

In Japan, it had a revival hit as the theme song for the film Umizaru.

Riding on Jonathan Cain’s beautiful piano melody, it makes you want to spread your arms like you’re flying and sway as you belt it out.

If you work your abs a bit and expand your lower register, this song will definitely get even better.

Top Of The WorldCarpenters7rank/position

Top Of The World

The Carpenters’ classic “Top Of The World” is memorable for its light, upbeat melody.

While the Carpenters are known as a pop duo, this song strongly reflects country music characteristics.

A key point of this piece lies in the English.

The vocal line has a narrow range and doesn’t require much dynamic variation, so it’s easy to sing.

However, among the Carpenters’ songs, the BPM here is relatively fast, which can make the English lyrics feel a bit crowded.

If you’re not confident in English, try linking the vowel of the previous word to the consonant of the next—for example, sing “Top of the world” more like “Topov th’ worl(d)”—to help it flow more naturally.
