[Teens] Popular Western Music Rankings [By Generation]

Pillow TalkZAYN64rank/position

ZAYN – PILLOWTALK (Official Video)

This is a song that can only be described as sexy.

If you can sing this, you’ll be one step closer to Zayn.

That’s the kind of song it is.

There are some high notes, but since it’s built from relatively short phrases, if you memorize the lyrics well and practice a few times, you should be able to sing it in no time.

Break FreeAriana Grande／Zedd65rank/position

Ariana Grande – Break Free (Official Video) ft. Zedd

Ariana Grande, who is extremely popular among young people around the world.

At first, she was in a relationship, but as time went on, she realized that being with that person only led to constant trouble and wasn’t good for her.

So she decides, “I’m breaking free now!”—it’s a powerful song.

Coldplay – Yellow (Official Video)

For a teen’s birthday, I’m gifting some of Coldplay’s early hit songs.

It’s moving to think they once had this era too, considering how they now collaborate with EDM artists all the time.

These are also perfect songs to pick up an acoustic guitar and try some sing-and-play covers.

Fancy ft. Charli XCXIggy Azalea67rank/position

Iggy Azalea – Fancy ft. Charli XCX

It’s a track from the album “The New Classic” that reached No.

1 in the U.

S.

Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX have incredible chemistry, and it’s popular as an unbeatable girls’ anthem.

The music video, themed around ’90s school life, is stylish as well.

We Found Love ft. Calvin HarrisRihanna68rank/position

Rihanna – We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris

It’s your birthday, but you’ve just had your heart broken and you just want to lift your mood—this track is my recommendation.

Its sound is bursting with happiness and will put you in a positive frame of mind, but the “yellow diamond” mentioned in the lyrics actually refers to drugs.

The phrase “I wish we had met under different circumstances” implies that the person they fell for was a drug addict.

For teenagers, for whom drugs are obviously off-limits—even alcohol and cigarettes are illegal—if you want to feel happy, listen to music.

Into YouAriana Grande69rank/position

Ariana Grande – Into You (Official Video)

This is an uplifting song by the charismatic artist Ariana Grande, who expresses the texture of urban rhythm and blues within a mainstream dimension.

She is highly popular in Japan as well, and her style makes teenage girls want to sing it at karaoke.

Party in the U.S.A.Miley Cyrus70rank/position

Miley Cyrus – Party In The U.S.A. (Official Video)

It’s included on the album “The Time of Our Lives.” This is one of Miley Cyrus’s signature songs, beloved by girls around the world when she was a Disney idol.

Above all, Miley’s laugh at the end—the “hahaha”—is simply the best.
