Here are three examples of songs that have become instant classics: Olivia Rodrigo&#8217;s &#8220;Old Town Road&#8221; and Carrie Underwood&#8217;s &#8220;Church Bells.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carrie_Underwoods_Church_Bells\"><\/span>Carrie Underwood&#8217;s &#8220;Church Bells&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This week, Carrie Underwood topped the country radio airplay singles chart with &#8220;Church Bells.&#8221; The song is the third single off of Underwood&#8217;s critically acclaimed album, Storyteller. It also became the top new song of the week, topping the Billboard and Country Aircheck charts. Its release has already brought Underwood 114 new country radio stations, making it one of the most played songs of the year.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Underwood has sung about murder and revenge in songs like Two Black Cadillacs. Her new single, &#8220;Church Bells,&#8221; takes a different approach. It starts off sounding like a fairy tale, but ends up sounding like a midtempo country ballad. While the lyrics may be empowering, they fail to make the song&#8217;s message more relevant.<\/p>\n<p>While the song ringing church bells is an iconic symbol of redemption, it also carries a heavier message. It offers strength in the face of abuse, as well as courage to do what needs to be done. Murder is never okay, and is a sad subject that is often swept aside in songs about women. Another example of this is &#8220;Goodbye Earl&#8221; by the Dixie Chicks. While the murder is not explicit, it does represent a sense of safety.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Olivia_Rodrigos_Old_Town_Road\"><\/span>Olivia Rodrigo&#8217;s &#8220;Old Town Road&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The title track from Olivia Rodrigo&#8217;s debut album, &#8220;Old Town Road,&#8221; is a strong track, with its soaring vocals and soaring guitar riffs. It&#8217;s a perfect summer listen, and the stripped-down versions allow the listener to hear Rodrigo&#8217;s Swiftian songwriting. A perfect example of Rodrigo&#8217;s versatility is her rendition of Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;Hurts,&#8221; which is one of the best songs on the album.<\/p>\n<p>The melancholic tone of the song, &#8220;Hope You&#8217;re OK,&#8221; a love song about a kid from an abusive home, is the perfect antidote to Swift&#8217;s sappy anthem about falling in love. Although it resolves tritely, the song is reminiscent of &#8220;The Story&#8221; by Conan Gray or &#8220;You Were Cool&#8221; by the Mountain Goats. The song explores a special genre that few other songs in this genre can claim, and that suggests a broader ambition for the singer.<\/p>\n<p>Another pop star who&#8217;s been gaining popularity lately is the Canadian singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo. Her breakout track &#8220;Drivers License&#8221; debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has quickly become one of the most streamed new songs of all time. Despite its tween-to-teen demographic, &#8220;Drivers License&#8221; has ensorcelled fans beyond that age group, and she&#8217;s recently made her live SNL debut.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charli_XCXs_Unlock_it\"><\/span>Charli XCX&#8217;s &#8220;Unlock it&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The lyrics of Charli XCX&#8217;s new song are over the top and completely unrelated to her voice quality. The singer describes a &#8220;rollercoaster ride in the fast lane&#8221; while singing about Valentinos, champagne, and a cosmic kiss. It sounds like a romantic fantasy, but Charli is not so interested in romance as she is in her career.<\/p>\n<p>When &#8220;Unlock It&#8221; first came out, it quickly became a fan favorite and a staple in Charli XCX&#8217;s music videos. The song has since become an internet sensation, thanks to the craze surrounding TikTok dance videos. Users simply point and run toward the camera when the beat drops. Even big stars have joined in. The song has gone viral, becoming a staple in countless television shows and movies.<\/p>\n<p>The visuals are reminiscent of a 1980s 80s video. Charli XCX and producers A.G. Cook and Life Sim take the bubblegum sound and replace it with a fresh flavor. The track is also filled with rap interludes from K-pop superstar Jay Park, as well as a pitched-up verse from German singer Kim Petras.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"424\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"237\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UapEQkuCG88\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three TikTok Songs That Have Become Instant Classics If you&#8217;re looking for songs to upload on TikTok, you&#8217;re in the right place.
