Love YourselfJustin Bieber23rank/position

Justin Bieber – Love Yourself (PURPOSE : The Movement)

Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself,” which was a huge hit in 2015.

Even if you don’t understand the words, the melody alone lets you know, “Oh, this must be a heartbreak song.” I think it captures the feeling of an unrequited love beautifully through its melody.

Since Justin Bieber isn’t the type of singer known for powerhouse vocals, a quieter melody like this really brings out his individuality.

From the intro to the very end, the piece maintains a consistent world and atmosphere.

Drake is a rapper who has maintained a long-standing presence with his melodious style—something any hip-hop head would know.

RunawayKanye West27rank/position

Kanye West – Runaway (Video Version) ft. Pusha T

This is “Runaway,” from Kanye West’s 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

It’s a song from before he became as famous as he is now.

He sings about the feelings of a man who cheated and became hated by the public.

At the time, he was facing a huge public backlash.

That’s likely why he created a song with this kind of theme.

He seemed to be in a rough place mentally then, and many of his songs from that period have a dark tone.

Shaggy is a reggae singer from Jamaica.

His appeal lies above all in his rhythmic vocals and reggae-specific lyrics.

His hit “It Wasn’t Me” is packed with those strengths.

The lyrics depict a man who cheated on his girlfriend and straightforwardly apologizes to her.

It’s an extremely light and rhythmic track that somehow leaves you feeling warm.
