Pop · Tenor · C3–C5
Pop songs a tenor can sing in the original key.
27 of the 88 Pop songs in the catalogue fit a tenor as written — every note between C3 and C5.
The widest of them is Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, 20 semitones from E3 to C5; the narrowest is I Should Be So Lucky by Kylie Minogue, at 10 semitones.
Of the 88, 9 go below C3 and 53 climb above C5; 1 does both.
Every Pop song that fits C3–C5
The best-known songs come first, and the easier ones first inside that. Rows whose chart position nobody matched sit at the end.

What this list is
The catalogue holds 430 songs with a sourced lowest and highest note, and 88 of those are Pop. A song is on this page only if both of its notes already sit inside C3–C5 — nothing has been moved to another key.
A voice type is a convention for classifying a trained voice by timbre and where it sits, not a test result on its own.
No song here is marked safe or risky. Those labels are read off notes held for two seconds, and this page has not heard you sing.
