As this year is coming to a close....Question..What were the top 5 songs sung at your show?

I'm going to double check my actual CompuHost history next time I work, but it seems like not too many 2016 songs have really caught on with my singers. I really think my 2016 top songs are going to be identical to my 2015 top songs.

I would almost bet that the "most performed songs" were not actually released any time in the last 5 years.

I don't KJ, but it seems that as pop is more inflected with hip-hop there are more songs that don't work as well for karaoke. Is that so?

I really think that it's more that modern songs rely more on rhythm than melody, and great, long-lasting karaoke songs seem to be those with killer melody.

To get ANY of the last ten years tunes into the top 5 we would have to run autotune set at max so our singers could sound as bad as the originals.

Gee, I have all of them

2016
7 years old
Uptown funk


All-time
Don't stop Believin'
Summer nights
Picture

I bought Uptown Funk and so far no one has asked to sing it On the brightside I have not had Picture done a single time in over 2 years. I kind of miss it.

Uptown Funk 3 times Picture only once so far in 2016...

Girl Crush is probably the most popular recent song at my shows.

I tend to get a little older crowds.

Girl Crush gets sung every show, for the last year, by a variety of different singers. No one has sung Hello by Adele either.

Current up to today for the year, really didn't change except for the positions.
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite 83
Myles, Alannah - Black Velvet 83
King, Elle - Ex's & Oh's 82
Bryan, Luke - Drink A Beer 78
Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow - Picture 77

Uptown Funk is actually sitting at number 11 as of right now on my list for the year.
Hello - Adele is at 31 position.
7 Years? Not a popular song, sung 6 times and sitting in position 745

I haven't went through to check for duplicates yet (end of year task) but so far in 2016 4,545 individual song titles were sung according to my log.

I can attest to the "most sing upbeat songs" at Brian's show. My wife, Margo, and I had a great time when we were there.

Your show sounds like a fun group.

The Electric Slide, though?

Electric Slide, a popular line-dance of baby boomers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mOY2eWO2qw (I think dancers in the vid were overdoing it, tho, but you get the idea).

Allow me to explain. I’m not in a bar, I’m in a family restaurant/club with a big dancefloor. Mostly baby boomer families, a diversity crowd with different upbringing and lifestyle hence I get all kinds of song requests they can dance to.

In that line-dance category includes Cupid Shuffle, Cha Slide & Boot Scootin’ Boogie. I agree; they're just a fun friendly active group!

the last time i did the electric slide was at my cousin's wedding almost 15 years ago.. I was considerably thinner and in better shape back then.. *sigh*

I would LOVE to work at a family restaurant. If for nothing else than sheer numbers. I know about 20 people in my reg karaoke circle.. Of those I've maybe gotten 10 to come out on a semi-regular basis when i was doing shows.

By comparison, I know over 200 people from my church with familys and every time i've hosted a karaoke party and invited them, practically all of them show up. It's total chaos.

I've tried to convey this to all the restaurants etc, but no one seems convinced that it is worth trying, even on a once a month basis.
