Country Karaoke

Top sellers

If disc sales are any indication of what Karaoke fans are singing these days, country is definitely at the top of the charts. Many music retailers feature a ‘most frequently searched’ or ‘top sellers’ category on their websites and you’ll usually find that at least the top three spots are filled by country albums. Almost any Karaoke DJ will also tell you that their most requested songs tend to be country.

The Climb to the Top

Why is country music so popular with Karaoke fans? Are a large number of country fans also Karaoke fans? Are the songs easy (or perhaps challenging) to perform well? It’s hard to tell what exactly connects country music and Karaoke singers. However, considering the fact that Karaoke Revolution Country is one of the best selling games for both Play Station and Xbox it’s safe to say that there’s a diverse audience getting into the country genre.

Singing the Right Song

The truth behind the popularity of country Karaoke may simply be that people enjoy singing the songs. On the other hand, it might be the vocal range that’s found in the country genre that pushes the songs to the top of the request page.

In order to sound good when you’re singing, you have to pick the right song. If you try to force your voice to perform at a speed or pitch that you’re not prepared for, you’re guaranteed a flop. When it comes to country music, you’re able to find tracks that range from the lowest of bass to the sharpest of falsetto. Further, except for some of the newest country / pop songs, most country tunes don’t insist on a wide range of pitch. The timing and tone is consistent so you’re able to carry the tune steadily throughout the song. Even without a lot of experience, most people will be able to find a country song that suits their abilities.

This isn’t to say that singing country is easier than other genres. It’s just more welcoming to a diversity of skills and tone. Add this to the fact that new recorded country music is quickly becoming popular with the masses (so everyone knows the words to the songs) and you’ve got the makings of some top selling Karaoke music!
