From a ‘Barbie’ Pink Speaker to a Kardashian-Approved Set, These Are the Best Karaoke Machines to Buy Right Now


From Disney classics to Billboard chart-toppers, the most popular karaoke songs these days span ages, genres and singing styles.


Our Billboard survey ranked a popular Shania Twain hit as the best karaoke song of all time, followed closely by a Backstreet Boys classic and Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive.”


Karaoke company Singing Machine, meantime, released its list of the most popular karaoke songs, based on tracks selected by its users. “Let It Go,” from Disney’s Frozen, tops the list, followed by Tones and I’s “Dance Monkey,” and Lil Nas X’s Billboard record-breaking hit, “Old Town Road.


Singing Machine, whose SDL2093 STUDIO is one of the best all-in-one karaoke machines around ($249, SingingMachine.com), is also the company behind the official Carpool Karaoke Mic ($49.99), based on the popular Carpool Karaoke segment on The Late Late Show With James Corden.


While a karaoke microphone is great for solo singing or a casual session, you’ll want to pick up a karaoke machine to really turn the party up.


If you’re looking to host a karaoke night at home, a number of brands are making high-end karaoke machines that you can find online. Unlike a basic karaoke mic, the best karaoke machines include not only a microphone, but a stand, speaker and all the cables and accessories you need to replicate a full-scale karaoke setup too. Here are some of our favorite karaoke machines to shop now.
