Top 100 Most Popular Karaoke songs of all time

The ultimate list of karaoke songs to help you get the party started!

Whether you’re a karaoke enthusiast or not, there’s no denying that this activity has become a global phenomenon. In almost every country across the world, you’ll find people belting out their favorite tunes in bars, clubs, and private gatherings.

Interestingly, karaoke didn’t start out as a party game or form of entertainment. In fact, it was originally developed as a way to help people learn new songs. Japanese musician Daisuke Inoue is credited with inventing karaoke in 1971, and the word itself is a combination of the Japanese words “kara” (empty) and “okesutora” (orchestra).
