The newest additions to the karaoke catalogue — songs that have earned their place because the whole room already knows them. These are the tracks that have been everywhere for the last couple of years, and the ones that are already being requested every night.
All updated regularly. Every song below is in our karaoke rooms at The Old School Yard, London Bridge.
The Biggest New Karaoke Songs
Sabrina Carpenter — Espresso / Please Please Please / Taste / Nonsense
Espresso is the karaoke song of 2024 — the melody is earworm-perfect, the delivery is all personality, and the bridge is one of the most fun sixty seconds in recent pop. Please Please Please for the more emotional side. Nonsense for the completely unhinged version.
Chappell Roan — Good Luck, Babe! / Hot to Go! / Pink Pony Club / Red Wine Supernova
Good Luck, Babe! has already become one of the most-sung songs in karaoke rooms across the country. The build, the belt, the emotion — it works completely in a private room. Hot to Go! because the spelling section is exactly the kind of group participation moment karaoke was invented for.
Olivia Rodrigo — Drivers License / Good 4 U / Vampire / Bad Idea Right?
Drivers License in a karaoke room is one of the great emotional moments of recent years. Vampire for the theatrical performance. Good 4 U for the energy shift. All four are word-perfect for anyone who’s been paying attention to pop in the last three years.
Taylor Swift — Anti-Hero / Cruel Summer / Karma / Fortnight
Cruel Summer has achieved the rare status of being both a chart hit and a karaoke standard simultaneously. Anti-Hero for the confessional delivery. Fortnight for or duet moment.
Billie Eilish — Birds of a Feather / Lunch / Wildflower / Bad Guy / Happier Than Ever
Birds of a Feather is one of the best pure vocal karaoke songs from recent years. Bad Guy for the complete character shift. Happier Than Ever as the emotional peak — the shift from quiet to full voice is one of the great dynamic moments in karaoke.

New Karaoke Tips
Songs get better when the room knows them. New hits work in karaoke because everyone has heard them on repeat for months. The words are already there. You just have to let them out.
Chappell Roan rewards commitment. Hot to Go! is designed for audience participation — the H-O-T-T-O-G-O section is not optional.
Billie Eilish quiet-to-loud. Happier Than Ever and Birds of a Feather both have that dynamic shift from restrained to full-voice. Don’t push the quiet sections — let the contrast do the work.
Running Up That Hill goes forever. The Stranger Things effect made this song ubiquitous. In a karaoke room, the instrumental sections give the room a moment to breathe before the next verse arrives.
