wedding

I love weddings, and I kind of have a special interest considering my parents own a wedding venue in West Tennessee (Check em out- Cogansfarm.com.).

So, naturally, I have a vested interest in anything having to do with weddings and wedding trends.

That being said, Brides magazine released a list of the most played songs at wedding receptions. A recent study looked at 2,000 wedding playlists on Spotify to find the most popular songs, and here are the Top 10:

 

1.  “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”,  Whitney Houston:

If you don’t love this song and try o hit the high note when Whitney sings “Heeeeeeaaaaaattttt” in the 2nd chourus, you’re not living your life right.

Bonus points if you point in the air when you do it.

2.  “Dancing Queen”,  ABBA:
‘/;[

Don’t hate me. I never liked this song. I know, I know. Take my chick card and burn it.

 

3.  “Yeah!”,  Usher featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris:

It’s a scientific fact that if you want to get people on the dance floor, play the above song.

 

4.  “Mr. Brightside”,  The Killers:

This one makes no sense to me.

I’ve worked plenty of weddings and never heard this on the playlist. Calling BS on this one.

5.  “September”,  Earth, Wind & Fire:

Now THIS song I will ALWAYS dance to.  It’s one of those instant mood lifters, and should really be in ABBA’s place on this list.

 

6.  “I Gotta Feeling”,  Black Eyed Peas:

This sog was EVERYWHERE in, what, 2010?

That was fourteen years ago, by the way.

Ouch.

Mazel Tov.

 

7.  “Marry You”,  Bruno Mars:

Because, duh.

 

8.  “Crazy in Love”,  Beyoncé:

Let’s be real, old school Beyonce is always a win.

I remember this song dropping in college, and it being played every single hour at the club.

It still slaps.

9.  “Shut Up and Dance”, Walk the Moon:

This song is just so perfect. A decade later, and it still works. And it will for many more decades.

 

10.  “Low”,  Flo Rida:

Apple Bottom jeans and boots with the furrrr may no longer be in style, but you know everytime this song comes on, everybody and their grandma- literally- are going to attempt to get low.

Whether you like it or not.

It’s coming.
