Yami Songs in Western Music Ranking [2025] (21–30)
Something In The WayNirvana22rank/position
A track released in 1991 by the American rock band Nirvana.
It was written by frontman Kurt Cobain when he was kicked out of his home and living homeless under a bridge.
The track has been used in films such as Jarhead and Twice Born.
shape of youEd Sheeran23rank/position
If you asked an elementary school child what Western pop song they like and they named this one, I’d think that’s really cool.
It’s “Shape of You,” a signature hit by the globally popular singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran.
Precisely because the arrangement is simple with few instruments, the coolness of the vocals really stands out.
True to the EDM-influenced Western pop of the 2010s, the mature lyrics are part of its appeal.
The melody is excellent, and it’s a song you can lightly sway to and enjoy.
I think it’s a great choice to play as a quintessential example of cool music.
SugarMaroon 524rank/position
This one is cool too, and after hearing it once I was hooked.
The lyrics are easy to understand and the chorus is great, so it’s easy to sing with a nice vibe.
It feels good to listen to and has a refreshing sound.
The clear, catchy chorus also makes it perfect for practicing vocabulary.
SorryJustin Bieber25rank/position
This is a song by Justin Bieber, who is now incredibly popular.
He sings it casually, but the meaning carries a strong message to today’s youth.
It’s slower than I expected, so it’s easy to catch the words and feels like he’s speaking to you, which makes it a good study resource.
Girls Like YouMaroon 5 ft. Cardi B26rank/position
In the fall, when it’s easy to feel nostalgic, you tend to want to listen to songs that bring back memories.
This Maroon 5 track is a love song that tells a story while looking back on the past.
The lyrics portray a bittersweet heartbreak, so give it a listen when you’re in the mood for something wistful.
HelloAdele27rank/position
I’m impressed—it’s just like Adele to create songs that draw listeners in.
The melodies are so good that even women can imitate and sing along.
They’re easy to understand, so you find yourself humming as you listen.
It’s great that even middle schoolers can enjoy them.
Her slightly husky voice is wonderful.
The Lazy SongBruno Mars28rank/position
Bruno Mars is popular all over the world, so some middle schoolers might already know him.
Among his songs, this number is perfect for autumn.
His smooth, soaring vocals ring out over a relaxed beat, leaving you with an indescribably gentle feeling.
