Western Music Winter Song Rankings [2025]

Winter WonderlandChet Baker36rank/position

Chet Baker – Winter Wonderland (Rare Lp Take)

Written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and Richard Bernard Smith, this song has been performed by many artists as a classic Christmas tune.

It has a slightly stylish vibe, and no matter the arrangement, it always heightens the Christmas spirit.

Often performed not only by singers but also as an instrumental, Chet Baker’s version has a driving tempo that feels like a sleigh gliding along—very cool indeed.

SorryJustin Bieber37rank/position

Justin Bieber – Sorry (PURPOSE : The Movement)

It’s a playful track that’s so typically Justin Bieber, the mischievous headline-maker.

Whether you’re on your way to go shopping or commuting to work or school, it instantly turns your car into a fun, lively space.

The catchy chorus will have you humming along before you know it.

Blank SpaceTaylor Swift38rank/position

Taylor Swift – Blank Space

This is a song that’s sure to get the girl talk flowing if it’s playing on the way to a shopping trip with your girlfriends.

It’s very Katy Perry—she excels at songs that capture the cringey side of young love—and its message of wanting to love honestly and freely is perfect for a girl in love.

The Lazy SongBruno Mars39rank/position

Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song (Official Music Video)

Bruno Mars is a singer-songwriter who is highly acclaimed around the world.

In the American music scene, artists are often judged more by commercial success than by pure ability, but he is one of the few who is genuinely recognized for his talent.

He has changed his musical style multiple times—pop in his early years, rock ’n’ roll in the middle, and now disco—and his taste has only gotten sharper each time.

The Lazy Song, themed around January, was created during the transitional period when he was shifting from pop to a rock ’n’ roll direction.

If you want to trace his history, this is a must-check!

All Of MeJohn Legend40rank/position

John Legend – All of Me (Official Video)

A drive lets you immerse yourself in a world just for the people in the car, and depending on the BGM you choose, you can create an endlessly romantic atmosphere.

A midwinter drive with someone special, and you want it to be the best time ever… For those people, I highly recommend the exquisite ballad “All of Me.” It’s a track from the 2013 album “Love in the Future” by the globally renowned and widely loved, powerhouse R&B singer-songwriter John Legend, and it was dedicated to John’s wife, Chrissy Teigen.

It’s a straightforward love song to the point of being almost embarrassing, but John’s soulful voice pairs with a flawless, beautiful melody to move listeners whether they want to be moved or not.

DiamondsRihanna41rank/position

Rihanna – Diamonds

It’s a song I want to listen to with my partner on a cold night.

It’s also wonderful to play while driving or sitting in the car looking at the night view.

I think it’s Rihanna’s powerful vocals that keep the silence from feeling awkward.

It’s an entrancing track that’s so very her—truly the queen of love songs.

Love Me Like You DoEllie Goulding42rank/position

Ellie Goulding – Love Me Like You Do (Official Video)

An electro-pop power ballad distinguished by grand synthesizers and powerful drums.

Sung by Ellie Goulding as the theme song for the film Fifty Shades of Grey, this piece expresses unconditional love and devoted feelings toward a partner.

Its airy vocals portray the uncontrollable emotions of falling in love and the pure desire for closeness with the other person.

Released in January 2015, it spent four consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the UK Singles Chart.

It was later included on the album Delirium and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance.

It’s a recommended choice for those who want to convey deep love to someone special, or as background music for a marriage proposal.
