From Disney classics to Billboard chart-toppers, the most popular karaoke songs these days span ages, genres and singing styles.
Our Billboard survey ranked a popular Shania Twain hit as the best karaoke song of all time, followed closely by a Backstreet Boys classic and Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive.”
Karaoke company Singing Machine, meantime, released its list of the most popular karaoke songs, based on tracks selected by its users. “Let It Go,” from Disney’s Frozen, tops the list, followed by Tones and I’s “Dance Monkey,” and Lil Nas X’s Billboard record-breaking hit, “Old Town Road.“
Singing Machine, whose Platinum Plus model is one of the best all-in-one karaoke machines we’ve used, is also the company behind the official Carpool Karaoke Mic, based on the popular Carpool Karaoke segment on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
While a karaoke microphone is great for solo singing or a casual session, you’ll want to pick up a karaoke machine to really turn the party up.
If you’re looking to host a karaoke night at home, a number of brands are making high-end karaoke machines that you can find online. Unlike a basic karaoke mic, the best karaoke machines include not only a microphone, but a stand, speaker and all the cables and accessories you need to replicate a full-scale karaoke setup too. Here are some of our favorite karaoke machines to shop now.
TOP PICK
JYX Bluetooth PA Speaker System Karaoke Machine
Get up to 48 hours of playtime
This JYX Karaoke Machine is one of the most popular units online, with more than 5,000 verified reviews on Amazon alone. It’s not just hype: this karaoke machine also delivers in terms of sound quality. It comes with two wireless mics, a built-in eight-inch subwoofer, a remote control and Bluetooth connectivity (no tangled cords or confusing plug-ins here). Get 60W of big, booming sound that’s loud enough to fill an entire room or small studio. The LED lighting effects add a nice touch and the built-in handle makes it easy to take this setup from space to space.
BESTSELLER
Singing Machine Platinum Plus WiFi Karaoke Machine
Singing Machine says it’s been the number-one karaoke brand in America for 40 years
One of the best all-in-one karaoke machines that we’ve tested, the Singing Machine Platinum Plus comes with two microphones, a large portable speaker and a built-in LED display that you can pair to YouTube, Spotify and more via WiFi. Use the 10-inch touchscreen to select your songs and settings and read the words right off the screen. Singing Machine’s auto-tune feature easily touches up your vocals, and lets you choose from dozens of voice effects to enhance your performance. You can even play a regular song and remove the lead vocal, so your voice shines through. There’s a built-in light show option as well.
Roughly the size of an air fryer, this Singing Machine karaoke system is portable enough to move and store with ease. This Amazon offer also includes three months of free access to the Singing Machine app for thousands of karaoke songs and effects.
The Singtrix Karaoke Machine comes from the creators of Guitar Hero, and has been featured on Shark Tank, Ellen, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and more. One of the most powerful and complete karaoke machines we’ve used, the Singtrix bundle gets you a microphone, adjustable mic stand, device stand (say, to read lyrics off your phone or tablet) and a powerful speaker/subwoofer combo. The built-in touchpad gets you more than 350 effects, with everything from pitch correction and auto-tune, to pre-set genre effects (I.e. for rap, rock, country and even K-pop). This was the karaoke machine that got us through quarantine during the pandemic and it’s only become more popular now that we’re partying with friends again.
