Why it’s yours
  • Hot Right Now. A hit from the last couple of years.
  • Somewhere in the middle. (my guess) Sits in the middle, where I guessed you are.
  • A bit of both. (my guess) Sounds good without a prayer before the chorus.
  • Just me. (my guess) One mic, all yours.
  • Anyone. (my guess) Anyone’s songs, so the whole book was open.

Hold that note…

There’s a special thrill in being the first to sing the song that’s been playing everywhere all summer. New hits turn up in karaoke books quickly these days, and plenty of them turn out to be great to sing.

Lucky for low voices, a lot of recent hits sit down low: cool, deadpan and chanted. Up high are the big new choruses, the ones with a moment the room waits for. The middle is a short group this time around. Every song below comes with its reason.

This shelf moves faster than any other. Want one picked for you? Ask Magic Mic, up top, is already on the hot-right-now shelf, and it knows the classics too if you change your mind.

Sits lower

Low and cool

Deadpan, chanted and strummed. A run of recent hits that sit low and stay there.
