The best karaoke songs share one quality: everyone in the room knows them. The classics, the anthems, the guilty pleasures — these are the songs that get people on their feet and microphone in hand. Whether you are warming up before a karaoke night out, hosting a living room singalong, or just singing along during the drive to the bar, these seven stations play the songs that define the karaoke experience.
Classic Hits and Singalong Anthems
TRUE OLDIES CHANNEL
TRUE OLDIES CHANNEL from New York is the ultimate warm-up station for karaoke — streaming the 1950s, 60s, and 70s classics that form the bedrock of the karaoke songbook. From "Johnny B. Goode" to "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Don't Stop Believin'," the songs that become karaoke standards are almost always the ones that every generation knows by heart, and TRUE OLDIES plays them all day.
Retro FM 102.1
Retro FM 102.1 delivers the 80s and 90s hits that define the sweet spot of the karaoke catalog — "Total Eclipse of the Heart," "Don't You Want Me," "Livin' on a Prayer," and hundreds more that audiences know every word of. The retro format covers the era when commercial radio created the shared musical vocabulary that karaoke depends on.
Rock And Roll Heaven
Rock And Roll Heaven streams the classic rock anthems that are among the most-performed karaoke songs in history. The station's deep catalog of rock from the 1960s through the 1980s covers "Sweet Caroline," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Hotel California," and the other rock singalongs that bring down the house in every karaoke bar in America.
Classic Rock California
Classic Rock California is the Los Angeles extension of the classic rock singalong tradition — streaming the guitar-driven anthems from California bands (Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty) and beyond that pack karaoke lists. The station's West Coast perspective brings songs that resonate across all demographics.
Ad-Free Pop Radio
Ad-Free Pop Radio covers the modern karaoke catalog — the Taylor Swift anthems, the Adele ballads, the pop-R&B hits that dominate today's karaoke catalogs and appeal to younger karaoke singers who want something more current than classic rock or oldies. Non-stop pop without interruption is ideal pre-karaoke listening.
K104 - 104.5 KKDA-FM
K104 - 104.5 KKDA-FM rounds out the karaoke warm-up with R&B — the genre that produces some of the most technically demanding and most rewarding karaoke performances. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, and Usher fill the station's playlist with songs that challenge singers and thrill audiences in equal measure.
Powerhitz
Powerhitz streams non-stop hit pop from New York — a commercial-free countdown of the biggest songs across decades that ensures you are hearing the exact tracks likely to appear in tonight's karaoke queue. Warming up to the actual songs you will be singing is the best karaoke prep there is.
