Hi friends! This week, Spotify released a list of the most popular wedding songs so far this year – both for the first dance and for the reception. While these lists are always fun to see, remember that the music is ultimately up to you, as the couple despite what is deemed “popular.”
First up, the first dance song! You should choose a song that you really love and has special meaning to you. Here are Spotify’s picks for the five most popular tunes:
- “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran
- “At Last” by Etta James
- “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne
- “All of Me” by John Legend
- “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri
Things obviously get a little more upbeat for the wedding reception. While you should choose music according to your preferences, be sure to include a few tracks that have a broad appeal (especially since multiple generations will likely be at your soiree). That’s what gets the party going! These are the most popular reception songs, according to Spotify:
- “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey
- “I Gotta Feeling” by The Black Eyed Peas
- “Marry You” by Bruno Mars
- “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson
- “Hey Ya!” by OutKast
I’d say Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling” and DNCE’s “Cake by the Ocean” have also got people movin’ and groovin’ lately.
Are you ready to hit the dance floor yet?
