100 Most Popular Karaoke Artists in 2026
The most-sung karaoke artist on Singa is ABBA, according to the last 12 months of real karaoke performances inside the Singa app. They're followed by Elvis Presley (#2) and Queen (#3). Adele, Taylor Swift, and Backstreet Boys round out the top 6. This is the updated list of the 100 most-sung karaoke artists in 2026, with 1 to 3 of each artist's biggest karaoke tracks on Singa.
The top 5 at a glance:
Methodology. This list ranks artists by the total number of times their songs were sung inside the Singa karaoke app over the last 12 months, across every user and every country. It's what people actually get up and sing, not what streams the most, not what charts on Billboard, and not what Google ranks. For each artist, we've picked the 1–3 karaoke tracks with the most plays on Singa.
The shape of the list is remarkably consistent with what you actually hear when a karaoke night is going well. ABBA sits at #1 in a landslide — Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Waterloo, and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! are the four songs that seem to exist for the sole purpose of being sung by a table of friends who have opinions. Queen and Elvis Presley hold the founding-father slots, propped up by Bohemian Rhapsody and a stack of Elvis ballads that never go away. The modern-pop trio of Adele, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars shows up right behind them, and the boy-band karaoke canon (Backstreet Boys, One Direction) sneaks in with I Want It That Way as the single most-sung song on the platform. There is one beautiful anomaly — Wheatus at #13, powered almost entirely by Teenage Dirtbag — and then a wall of arena rock: Queen, Bon Jovi, Journey, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC. Below: the full top 100. Each artist links straight to their Singa artist page, with their most-sung karaoke tracks listed underneath. If you want to skip to the list, jump straight to the rankings.
Top 10 karaoke artists at a glance
The top 10 is a snapshot of everything karaoke does well. There are two absolute icons at the top (ABBA and Elvis Presley), one arena-rock behemoth (Queen), and three modern pop titans (Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars). In between: Backstreet Boys, whose I Want It That Way quietly leads the entire platform, plus Rihanna, Oasis and Britney Spears filling in the '90s and 2000s. Whichever room you walked into last weekend, at least three of these ten got sung.
What kinds of artists dominate karaoke
Karaoke rewards songs people already know, so the list skews heavily toward decades of hit-making. Arena-rock legends (Queen, Bon Jovi, Journey, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Scorpions) all show up because they wrote the songs the whole bar can shout back. Timeless crooners like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, and Whitney Houston anchor the middle of the list on pure vocal-showcase energy.
Modern pop titans — Taylor Swift, Adele, Bruno Mars, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo — keep the list fresh; every year the newest phenomenon slots in without pushing anyone out. And then there are the beloved one-hit wonders: Wheatus at #13 for Teenage Dirtbag, Gloria Gaynor for I Will Survive, Aqua for Barbie Girl. Every karaoke list needs an anomaly, and Singa's has several.
