The song has an eclectic energy where the guitars and simplified and the drums were way over the top, plus the lyrics are quite catchy too. Karaoke enthusiasts can’t help but feel like a rockstar!

Of course, who hasn’t tried singing song number 9 on any karaoke session? Gloria Gaynor surely made the waves with “I Will Survive.” This has been a constant karaoke anthem for those who are devastatingly wounded from a relationship. Gaynor managed to pump the song up with less backup singers and more of her vocal techniques.

Inspired by Carolyn Kennedy’s photograph, Neil Diamond takes the 8th spot as he releases his single “Sweet Caroline” in the 60s. It became a karaoke favorite because of the unforgettable chorus and cheery tempo.

On the 7th spot is the “Love Shack” by the B-52s which showcases the tingly locals of Fred Schneider. It’s a crowd favorite regardless of the gender and age – men, women and the kids love it.

Who wouldn’t forget “Margaritaville” taking the 6th position, which was supposed to be performed by the late Elvis Presley (if it wasn’t for his untimely death, well, it could have been). Nevertheless, Jimmy Buffett did a good job in recording it and became a karaoke hit as anyone regardless of his vocal range can sing this well.

On the 4th spot is a hit made by American Idol winner Carrie Underwood. Carrie’s song “Before He Cheats” penetrates the karaoke favorites as a tall tale of a cheating partner resonates in primeval level. Without a shadow of a doubt, the younger generation can perform this anytime.

From being subtle to becoming outrageous, Queen definitely deserves on the 3rd notch with their immense musical and vocally challenging hit the “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The song has no chorus or whatsoever with about 180 vocal ranges along with intense passionate lyrics. Fitting for the 3rd spot and worthy of a group performance in any karaoke sessions.

Taking the 2nd spot is “Picture” sang by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock. The song depicts the music realm’s anomaly. The song might have two versions on some karaoke bars, it’s because Allison Moorer’s appearance in the first video release while Crow and Rock had their own MV. The song is perfect for a duet while feeling the “lost love” medley.

And finally at the TOP karaoke hits is from a worldwide renowned motion picture Grease. “Summer Nights” performed by Olivia Newton John and John Travolta was an instant hit from all over the US and the UK. Karaoke bars are never dull without this being sang probably because the song is just fun to sing with a very unpretentious musical feel.
