[Teens] Popular Western Music Rankings [By Generation]

Shape of YouEd Sheeran1rank/position

Ed Sheeran – Shape of You (Official Music Video)

The person singing this song is a man named Ed Sheeran.

Believe it or not, it’s said that the person who sparked his popularity in Japan was Chiemi Blouson.

During her huge boom, she announced on TV, “I like Ed Sheeran,” and it seems things took off when she had him appear on the show.

Of course, I’m sure there were many fans even before that.

Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen2rank/position

Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe

“Call Me Maybe,” which Justin Bieber also praised, became a popular song in Japan.

It also drew attention when Rola, who is active as a model and talent, covered it.

With its cute melody and lyrics, it’s a distinctly feminine song.

SugarMaroon 53rank/position

Maroon 5 – Sugar (Official Music Video)

With this song, it could be said that it became famous because the comedian Takahashi from the duo Savannah created a routine based on it.

I think many people already knew and liked it even before that.

The rhythm is easy to catch, and the English lyrics are easy to sing, so please give it a try.

It’s sure to get everyone pumped up.

Shake It OffTaylor Swift4rank/position

Taylor Swift – Shake It Off

It’s an upbeat, energizing song.

Regardless of whether you’re a girl or a boy, it’s the kind of track that makes you want to sing and dance your heart out.

On days when something bad happened—or even when nothing did—especially at karaoke when girls are in the group, I’d love for everyone to sing it together as the first song or around the middle to get the energy going.

Just The Way You AreBruno Mars5rank/position

Bruno Mars – Just The Way You Are (Official Music Video)

“Just The Way You Are” is also known for winning the Grammy Award in 2011.

It’s a song that expresses straightforward love over a soft rock-like sound.

Written from a male perspective, it lists a woman’s body parts one by one and compares them to beautiful things.

Despite such literary expressions, the grammar is simple—a key point.

As a result, it’s likely easy to understand and memorize the lyrics without resistance.

BabyJustin Bieber6rank/position

Justin Bieber – Baby ft. Ludacris

Justin Bieber’s “Baby” became a signature hit for him.

Its clear, high-toned vocals make it easy for women to sing, and the chorus is repetitive, so the lyrics are easy to remember.

This upbeat, catchy track is perfect for karaoke and is guaranteed to get the crowd going.

CAN’T STOP THE FEELING!Justin Timberlake7rank/position

Justin Timberlake – CAN’T STOP THE FEELING! (from DreamWorks Animation’s “TROLLS”) (Official Video)

An upbeat song by an American singer that lifts your spirits.

In the music video, people of various races and ages join in the dance, each expressing themselves in their own way.

Watching everyone dance and have fun—regardless of age, body type, or appearance—is sure to fill you with energy and courage.
