How to Create a 2010s Playlist for Your Wedding

As an experienced wedding DJ, I’ve assembled a list of popular 2010s songs to get people on the dance floor and for romance at your wedding! The list is grouped by genre to match your taste in music.

Whether it’s “Gangnam Style”, “Feel it Still”, or “Blurred Lines”, the 2010s had a happy and upbeat sound. Meghan thinks it’s “all about the bass,” Pharrell wants you to know that the sun can take a break, and Chris Stapleton’s saying “You’re as sweet as strawberry wine.”

The 2010s aren’t about a particular genre — it’s about fun, hope, and a bit of danger.
