Yes, I play the hits. They’re about half of what fills my dance floors. The other half is where your night starts sounding like yours.
Nearly half isn’t on the request lists
46% on no request list54% on a request list
That’s every song from the dance floors at my last 50 weddings, checked against the lists of songs wedding guests ask for most.
No two nights alike
Each dot is one wedding, placed by how much of its dance floor was off the request lists.
Some nights lean on the songs everyone knows. Some go deep. It depends on the two of you and the room.
Your night won’t be a rerun
Every song I’ve played on those dance floors, side by side like spines in a crate. The taller the spine, the more weddings it played at.
I’ve played 1,325 different songs on those dance floors. 7 in 10 came out at one wedding only.
Your aunt’s song is safe
When the room wants a singalong, it gets one. 21 of the 25 songs wedding guests request most came out at those 50 weddings.
Cocktail hour is where I dig
Before anyone dances, I go further out: 7 in 10 songs at cocktail hour and dinner aren’t on any request list.
How I counted
My DJ software logs every song I play. This page counts my last 50 weddings, August 2025 to now. The lists are DJ Intelligence’s 2025 charts of the songs guests request: a Top 200 plus seventeen genre and decade lists. A song counts as listed when its title and artist match; remixes and covers of a listed song count as listed too. Soundcheck, and anything that played for less than 30 seconds, doesn’t count. The lists show what guests ask for, not what other DJs play.
