Why all the slow, old school jams? Because you have to cater mostly to the older wedding guests, and get them to dance and stay. Once the older folks leave, then by all means, play the 90 bpm and above set.
I cant pick only 5, so here are my top 10 1. Scissor Sisters- I don't feel like dancin 2. I Believe In a thing called love- The darkness 3. Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson- Valerie 4. Rudolf Isley- Shout 5. Kenny Loggins- Footloose 6. Katrina and the waves- Walking on Sunshine 7. Ram Jam- Black Betty 8. AC/DC- Thunderstruck 9. Queen- Don't Stop Me Now 10. The Contours- Do You Love Me
Great video. Popularity of songs often develop regionally, whether it's an "X" mile wide area here in the US or nationally. I would imagine the same is true for all nations. I find that the following songs work in the Philadelphia tri-state area w/o fail:
1. Yeah - Usher
2. Gettin' Jiggy Wit It - Will Smith
3. Run Around Sue - Dion & The Belmonts
4. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson
first song after dinner always gets a few on the floor.
I'm not sure there's a real list of songs. After your first song you begin to gauge reactions. If they liked give it up you play some micheal jackson, billy ocean etc.
If not. Start looking at age groups and start again. Try some Abba, Old rock 'n roll like elvis.
Weddings are hard because they're diverse. Good luck
Dinner - 1. The Corrs Ft Bono - When The Stars Go Blue 2. Edwin McCain - I'll Be 3. Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am 4. Jack Johnson - Better Together 5. Michelle Featherstone - We Are Man And Wife Dance- 1. Marvin Gaye - Got to Give it Up 2. MJ - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 3. Rihanna - Dont Stop The Music 4. Sister Sledge - We Are Family 5. Chubby Checker - The Twist
Dinner - 1. UB40 - red red wine 2. Gotan Project - last tango in paris 3. Melibea - antologia 4. Otis Reeding - sitting on the dock of the bay 5. Eric Clapton - wonderful tonight Dance- 1. KC & sunshine band - get down tonight 2. MJ - dont stop till u get enough 3. B52's - love shack 4. Bob Sinclar - love generation 5. Madonna - 4 minutes (bob sinclar rmx) Good idea for a vid mate! Im looking forward to the list! :) DJ Benny

I'm agreeing with the top 5's.
I will add the overlooked one though.
KC and the sunshine band-Give it up.
first song after dinner always gets a few on the floor.
I'm not sure there's a real list of songs. After your first song you begin to gauge reactions. If they liked give it up you play some micheal jackson, billy ocean etc.
If not. Start looking at age groups and start again. Try some Abba, Old rock 'n roll like elvis.
