Now that 2010 has come and gone, we may look back on the year and see what were the best retail karaoke songs, both Pop and Country. Although there are reviews that are very similar in nature, this Pop and Country Karaoke Review is dissimilar in that it shows what people that sing wanted to perform, not just what humans that love Today’s Music wanted to listen to. Here are our top ten picks-based on sales, requests, and popularity-first the Pop List and then the Country List. Many discs that we sold for the duration of the year had assorted of these songs on the same disc so there is no concrete method in determining the important song the buyer was mesmerized in when purchasing the disc. In other words, our selections can not be considered 100 percent precise of which songs topped the list for 2010, but we think it comes close. 2010 Top Karaoke Pop Songs #1 – Need You Now – Lady Antebellum ( Yes, a country group tops the 2010 Pop Music Chart; this song’s pop mix version has electric guitar replacing the country guitar twang in the chorus and the bridge.When I primary heard this song I thought I had heard it before; a great deal of believe it to be similar to ‘Eye In The Sky’ by Alan Parsons. I think it’s chorus is similar to ‘More Than Words Can Say’ by Alias) #2 – California Gurls by Katy Perry – (Katy Perry has proven to be not just a flash in the pan but a bonafied Pop Star. I, for one, thought her career was going to be short-lived when her original single came out entitled ‘I Kissed A Girl’ – the American Top 40 fanbase is fickle and forgetful. But here she is two years later with her 2nd album that has spawned 3 #1 Hits, including California Gurls. The song is attentiongetting with the line ‘Daisy Dukes, Bikinis on top’. She does need an individual to support her in the spelling department) #3 – Hey, Soul Sister by Train – (We may have thought that Train was ancient history because it had been five years since they had any Pop Chart Success. However three of those years they were on hiatus and lookie now; ‘Hey, Soul Sister’ has brought this group back from the dead. Who would have thought that a song with a ukulele as the lead instrument could top the charts? Maybe Tiny Tim would have, but who remembers him?) #4 – TiK ToK by Ke$ha- (A attentiongetting tune justifiably equated to ‘Just Dance’ by Lady Gaga, this song could be a cookie cutter pattern of the a heap of dance numbers on American Top 40 today) #5 – Nothin’ On You by B.o.B – (This debut single from artisan B.o.B features Bruno Mars on guest vocals, but the karaoke version may evidently be sung as a single artist.) #6 – Glitter In The Air by Pink – (This song puts Pink on a whole new level. It is a bluesy, emotional, heartfelt ballad and accordingly it was to a considerable degree requested. She performed this song at the 52nd Grammy Awards in a Cirque du Soleil style performance) #7 – Bad Romance by Lady Gaga – (Another hit from the never predictable Lady Gaga. Features of this song have been equated to her earlier hit ‘Poker Face’.) #8 – Today Was A Fairytale by Taylor Swift – (A nice little ballad featured on the soundtrack of ‘Valentine’s Day’. Although at times I find myself wincing at galore of Taylor Swift’s off-key live performances, I be grateful for most of all her ballads, as do numerous karaoke singers. Add your own vocals to the instrumental arrangements and it doesn’t matter what her ‘live’ performance sounded like.) #9 – Only Girl (In the World) by Rihanna – (Rihanna proceeds her string of success, with this uptempo dance tune. This song became her 9th number one single, more than any other artisan since 2000) #10 – Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars – (This song is not a remake of the song with the same title by Billy Joel. It is an original composition that is just so sappy that it may make you cry. Most each girlfriend, fiancée, or wife would blush to have this song sung to them, much like the official video of this song depicts. This great video and convincing vocals from Bruno Mars has made this one of the most requested Karaoke Songs for 2010) Top 2010 Karaoke Country Songs #1 – Need You Now by Lady Antebellum (This song plainly has wide appeal, topping both the Country and Pop 2010 Karaoke Charts. The fact that it is a duet helps since some Karaoke fans are looking for a song that they may sing along to with somebody else, but since it is a karaoke track a singer may without apparent effort sing the whole song solo.) #2 – The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert – (This song is regarding returning to your childhood home that is now occupied by other people.The hope is to reconnect with a former self there, in order to heal from unspecified difficultnesses and stresses caused by current life. The request is made to come in just one last time and “I won’t take not one thing but a memory.”) #3 – Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood (Though not as commercially successful as numerous of Carrie Underwood’s other singles, this song has sufficient sentiment and emotion to make it one of 2010 most requested Karaoke Songs) #4 – Why Don’t We Just Dance by Josh Turner (This song is infectiously fun and likeable to most all country music fans) #5 – Water by Brad Paisley (Although not as witty with it’s lyrics as other country tunes, the song is attentiongetting and will in all likelihood stay a song employed around summer for it’s respective apps of ‘Water’.) #6 – Hillbilly Bone by Blake Shelton (This uptempo country ditty is a statement of rural pride. Note the line: “We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside”.) #7 – Stuck Like Glue by Sugarland (A attentiongetting tune that, if it weren’t for Jennifer Nettle’s apparent country lead vocals, could pass for a Pop Song) #8 – Cowboy Casanova by Carrie Underwood – (a late 2009 release that in truth peaked in January 2010. This song is upbeat and similar to Carrie Underwood’s earlier hit “Before He Cheats” in that it’s message stands as a warning to girls when it comes to unfaithful men) #9 – Rain Is A Good Thing by Luke Bryan – (It seems like a country song is either going to tell you a story or have a constructing hook. For this song by Luke Bryan the development of the theme is this: “Rain is a good thing,” because “rain makes corn, and corn makes whiskey, and whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky”. Obviously ‘corny’ but it worked) #10 – Only Prettier by Miranda Lambert – (The message in this song is that city girls and country girls are fundamentally the same except that country girls are ‘only prettier’.) So, if you are a singer, 2010 gave you a great deal of new music to choose from. Sometimes it may seemed that there is no good new music out there. However it may seem that way because you’ve gotten into the habit of listening to your ‘iPod’ with your pre-selected selections in music. Start making it a habit of listening to radio or turning on a music channel more often, then you’re going to find a great deal of new selections to choose from. |
