Top 10 Songs with the Catchiest Chorus

Some songs have a way of getting stuck in your head from the very first listen, and it's usually because of one thing: an unforgettable chorus. These are the tracks that make you want to belt out the words at full volume, whether you're in the car, at a party, or just singing into your hairbrush at home. Their choruses don't just stick - they demand attention, getting everyone from casual listeners to die-hard fans joining in like they're part of the band.
The Top Ten
Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

Don't stop believing! Hold on to that feeling! So catchy because the first time I played that song, it stuck in my head. That's why I didn't even have to listen to it before rating it! I give this song 10,000,000/10!

One of the best choruses ever! Putting it at #5 is disrespectful - it deserves to be in the top 3 or higher.

This is my most favorite song ever! - destinyfrazier

Livin on a Prayer - Bon Jovi

It's a great piece from the decade.

Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People

Good song - give it a listen. Even if you hate it, it will still be stuck in your head!

Creep - Radiohead

Monster guitars and pessimistic lyrics... It's my favorite chorus of a song.

One song we can all certainly relate to!

Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard

This song is most definitely a classic. It's still listened to and appreciated around here. It's suggestive, but not to the point where you can't listen to it with little ears around.

It's so catchy it makes you want to just dance in the bedroom.

I love it, and I get an automatic smile listening to it. FEEL GOOD.

Pour some sugar on me! (In the name of love) Pour some sugar on me! (Come on, fire me up)

Till the World Ends - Britney Spears
All the Small Things - Blink-182
E.T. - Katy Perry
Free Fallin' - Tom Petty
Locked Out of Heaven - Bruno Mars

The Newcomers

? That's What You Get - Paramore

I don't know why, but that title phrase is among the best pop hooks I can think of.

? Reach Out I'll Be There - The Four Tops

Even with them changing the following line throughout the song, "I'll be there" is one of the most bluntly effective and just generally great hooks of the 1960s and maybe ever.

The Contenders
Wonderwall - Oasis

Every time I hear it, I end up singing it all day. I love this song!

One of my all-time favorites.

Bad Romance - Lady Gaga
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

How on Earth was this not even on the list? That is strange because it should be in the top 5, I believe.

Beat It - Michael Jackson
Bleed It Out - Linkin Park
A Little Piece of Heaven - Avenged Sevenfold

There's just something really captivating about it. Maybe it's the calmness of Shadows' voice or the amazing instrumentation, but it's beautiful!

This song... words cannot describe... If the song's not enough (no pun intended for those who know the song), the chorus is sure to rake in new A7X fans.

The first time you hear it is always the most magical (but that's not to say that it gets stale)!

The Real Slim Shady - Eminem

Well, I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady, all you other Slim Shadies are just imitating, so won't the real Slim Shady please stand up, please stand up, please stand up...

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

The first time I heard this song, I was enlightened - an absolutely incredible experience! With Axl's great vocals, Slash on guitar, Izzy on rhythm guitar, Duff on bass, and Steven on drums, it's a legendary lineup. It's unfortunate that their relationship didn't last long.

Extremely great work on guitar and vocals that will stay in your mind long after.

Highly recommended. Give it a try.

One of the all-time catchiest choruses. A beautiful melody, fantastic meaning, and kickass guitar playing make for one great song!

Bring Me to Life - Evanescence
Lay All Your Love on Me - Abba

The song itself is rather catchy too. Amazing song all around.

The vocals in the chorus are heavenly.

Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby...
(Na na nana na na)
I do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
(Na na nana na na)
The way you do it, do it to me
(Na na nana na na)
Uh Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!

Couldn't resist. So good.

We are the Champions - Queen

Goldsmiths University (in London) places this one as the song that possesses the catchiest refrain of all hit songs!

Lose Yourself - Eminem

The best lyrics ever.

Les Fleur - Minnie Riperton
Rock and Roll All Nite - Kiss

How could this not be number one?!

Very, very catchy! I wanna rock and roll with Kiss all night, yeah!

This IS #1 without a doubt in my mind!

Name me one person who does not know this chorus! Pretty tough, right? It's the rock and roll anthem of the ages!

I WANNA ROCK AND ROLL ALL NITE AND PARTY EVERY DAY!

Easy, fun, and everyone can sing along!
