Yami Songs in Western Music Ranking [2025] (51–60)
HeroMariah Carey57rank/position
This song is very slow and gently sung, so the English lyrics are easy to catch and it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a song that even middle schoolers can sing well, and the melody is so beautiful that I listened to it over and over.
It’s my favorite song among Mariah’s.
JealousLabrinth58rank/position
They sing about feeling jealous that their ex seems happy even without them, yet the song unfolds plainly with only a piano.
Rather than bursting with a “I’m so frustrated!” kind of emotion, it’s a quiet piece where the sadness simply keeps piling up.
It feels like it could wash away your sorrow.
Easy On MeAdele59rank/position
Adele is a singer-songwriter who represents the UK and is hugely popular in Japan as well.
The song she released in January 2022 is Easy On Me.
It’s a breakup song, but unlike typical ones, it expresses the feelings of a mother who, after divorcing her husband, feels she’s burdening her child.
Adele is known for her darker tracks, and this one is an especially realistic, emotionally heavy song among them.
Single mothers will likely find many lyrics they can relate to, so be sure to check it out.
SometimesBritney Spears60rank/position
Britney Spears is one of America’s leading pop divas.
She has grown from a cute girl at her debut into a mature, sexy woman, but many of her early songs sang about pure feelings of love, and this song also honestly expresses the emotions of being in love.
Yami (dark) Western music song ranking [2025] (61–70)
Born This WayLady Gaga61rank/position
A hit song by the world-famous pop star Lady Gaga, whose name is widely known even among junior high school students.
While Gaga’s visuals can be a bit intense for younger generations, the lyrics are incredibly powerful and offer listeners a sense of hope for life.
It’s a song I’d love junior high school students—who are entering a time of self-reflection—to sing passionately while savoring the meaning of the words.
Favorite SongToosii62rank/position
A beautiful piano-driven love song that blends bittersweet sadness with hope.
It portrays the complex emotions between men and women, with lyrics that deeply resonate with listeners.
Released in February 2023, it quickly became a major hit, giving Toosii his first-ever top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
His performance on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show also drew attention.
This song is one that speaks to the hearts of middle schoolers struggling with love.
It’s great to listen to with friends and share your feelings, or to play alone while thinking of someone you like.
A lovely track that captures the sweet-and-sour essence of youth.
Car Radiotwenty one pilots63rank/position
A track released in 2011 by the American music duo Twenty One Pilots.
It was inspired by vocalist Tyler Joseph’s experiences during his college years.
The music video, featuring Tyler shaving his hair in a bathroom out of anger, was directed by Mark C.
Eshleman.
