The Pretenders Popular Songs Ranking [2025]

The Pretenders Popular Songs Ranking [2025]
Last updated:

I’d like to introduce the most popular songs by the British rock band The Pretenders, ranked in order.

That perfect balance of understated cool and sweetness—made possible by a female lead vocal—is irresistible!

Of course, if you already know them or are a fan, that’s great, but if you’re a rock fan who hasn’t listened yet, definitely give them a try!

The Pretenders are a band from the United Kingdom.

Primarily rooted in genres like punk rock and new wave, they reached No.

1 on the UK charts with their debut album Pretenders and the single cut from the same album, Plus In Pocket.

Their song 2000 Miles is a Christmas-themed piece.

It features a distinctly 1980s new wave sound and a relaxed rhythm.

With its romantic melody that would be perfect for a date, be sure to make good use of it!

It really livens things up when there are songs where the listeners can join in with their voices.

The one I’d love you to try singing is “Middle of the Road.” It’s a track by the UK rock band The Pretenders, and it’s a classic rock song with a comfortable, punchy drum sound.

In the middle of the song there’s a counting section and a chorus part, so inviting people to join in there will energize the crowd.

There are also sections with rolled R’s that are distinctive, so try imitating those, too.
