200 Best Party Songs To Pack the Dance Floor
Know popular party songs to get people dancing!

When picking out your party songs, you must consider the following 3 factors:
- Will you as the wedding couple dance to the song – being on the dance floor will inspire others to dance?
- When in the day will the song play?
- What is the tempo of the song (fast or slow) to determine the style of dance that fits best?
As an experienced wedding DJ, I’ve assembled a list of party songs. Songs are selected by danceability and popular hits for today’s couples. Besides new and trending, additional lists are grouped by genre to match your taste in music.
The vibe of a good party is participation. You want your guests to crowd the dance floor singing their favorite songs at the top of their lungs.
