Now that 2010 is come and gone, we look back on the year and see what the best songs of educational sales both pop and country. Although there are reviews that are very similar in nature, this Pop and Country Karaoke Review is different in that it shows what people that sing wanted to perform, not just what people that love Today's Music wanted to listen to. Here are our Top Ten selection of sales, applications and popularity, the first list and then the pop-country list. Many discs that we sold during the year had several of these songs on the same disc so there is no concrete method in determining the principal song the buyer was interested in when purchasing the disc. In other words, our decisions are not exactly 100 percent what songs topped the list for the year 2010 will be considered, but we think that approaches.
2011 Top Karaoke Pop Songs
#1 - Need You Now - Lady Antebellum ( Yes, a country group tops the 2011 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 heard this song I thought I\d never heard of, many believe it is similar to Eye In The Sky 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 his career would be published only short-lived, as his first single was entitled I Kissed A Girl- Top 40 American fans are 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 catchy with the line of Daisy Dukes, bikinis in the foreground. She does need someone to help 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.
But three years of it in the break and lookie now, Hey, Soul Sister brought the 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 catchy tune justifiably compared to 'Just Dance' by Lady Gaga, this song could be a cookie cutter pattern of the many dance numbers on American Top 40 today)
#5 - Nothin' On You by B.or. B - (This debut single from artist B. or. B features Bruno Mars on guest vocals, but the karaoke version can obviously be sung as a single artist. )
#6 - Pink Glitter In The Air - (This song is on an entirely new level rose.
It is a bluesy, emotional, heartfelt ballad and therefore it was heavily requested.
She led the song at the Grammy Awards 52 Cirque du Soleil-style performance)
#7 - Bad Romance of Lady Gaga - (Another shot of unpredictable Lady Gaga.
Features of this song have been compared to her earlier hit 'Poker Face'. )
#8 - Today was a story of Taylor Swift - (A nice little ballad featured on the soundtrack of Valentine. Although at times I find myself wincing at some of Taylor Swift's off-key live performances, I appreciate most of all her ballads, as do many karaoke singers. Add your voice, her instrumental arrangements, and no matter what sounded like his live performance.)
#9 - Only Girl (In the World) by Rihanna - (Rihanna continues her string of success, with this uptempo dance tune. This song has become his number one nine, more than any other artist since 2000)
#10 - Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars - (This song is a remake of the song with the same title by Billy Joel.
It is an original composition that is just so sappy that it can make you cry. Most every girl, girlfriend, wife or shame, this song is sung, they have is exactly like the official video for this song. This great video and convincing vocals from Bruno Mars has made this one of the most requested Karaoke Songs for 2011)
Top 2011 Karaoke Country Songs
#1 - Need You Now by Lady Antebellum (This song obviously has broad appeal, topping both the Country and Pop 2011 Karaoke Charts. The fact that it's a duet, since it helps a lot of karaoke enthusiasts for a song that you sing with someone else can find, but there may be a track karaoke singers just sing the whole song is solo.)
#2 - The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert - (This song is about returning to your childhood home that is now occupied by other people. The hope is, is a former car there again, to cure the problems caused by stress and unspecified real life. The request is made to come in just one last time and "I won't take nothing but a memory.)
#6 - Hillbilly Bone by Blake Shelton (This uptempo country ditty is a statement of rural pride.
Note the line: "We all had a deep bone Hillbilly ".)
#7 - Stuck Like Glue by Sugarland (A catchy tune that, if it weren't for Jennifer Nettle's obvious country lead vocals, could pass for a Pop Song)
#8 - Cowboy Casanova by Carrie Underwood - (a late 2009 release that actually peaked in January 2010.
This song is happy and as the first of Carrie Underwood hit "Before He Cheats " in the sense that the message is a warning to the girls, men infidels)
#9 - rain is a good thing Luke Bryan - (sounds like a country song is either going to have a story to tell or a hook development. 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". Apparently common, but it worked)
#10 - Only Prettier by Miranda Lambert - (The message of this song is that the girls of the city and the country girl is basically the same except that the Land of the girls are simply the best.)
So, if you are a singer, 2011 gave you plenty of new music to choose from. Sometimes it seemed that there were 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 choices in music. Start listening to the radio or habit often turn on a music channel, then you will find many new selection to choose from.
