Popular Karaoke Songs & Lyrics

Want to know the most popular karaoke songs? Fortunately, or not, each country will have a different chart. There is some crossover with countries such as UK, US & Australia. This merging of popularity can be attributed to the marketing by record companies and TV exposure to bands. The top 10 karaoke songs is different in each country you visit.

Typically, the influence of popular karaoke songs in the three Western markets comes from the influence of the pop charts ranging between the early 1970’s up to present day. Movies will also play their part when a movie director decides to re-hash a song to become the theme for his/her movie.

There is a considerable science in the formula for calculating the best 10 karaoke songs; however, this can become quite laborious and bordering on boring. Some believe the split should be top 10 men’s karaoke songs and top 10 women’s song.
