What English language songs are popular in China and who are popular Western artists & musicians in China?

Question

I am an Aussie English teacher in China and I want to use English songs as a tool for teaching English to Chinese teenagers & adult students. I need songs that are slow & clear, with good English grammar in the lyrics.

If you have any experience using Western music as an English teaching tool in China, or you know of any popular English language songs or artists, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions!

Thank you.

Why dont you hit up some karaoke bars, KTV etc and check the song lists.  I know there are certain songs that are ALWAYS on every machine Ive seen.  

Beatles stuff is always there, Hey Jude for example, Ive done WAAAAY too many drunken renditions of that one, Some U2 also, Ive seen Sunday Bloody Sunday a lot, may not be the best for your purposes, Mrs Robinson etc.. The Boxer...

Just go out to a Karaoke bar with some students or get them to take you to one they all like and go down through the song list.  The added benefit is is would be a fun field trip to go out with them and sing from the English list and the words are all there...
