2025 DJ-Verified “Power Plays”

These tracks weren’t just hits; they were the ones DJs reported as having the most staying power for modern weddings in 2025 and 2026.

1. The Dance Floor “Cheat Code”

• “Pink Pony Club” – Chappell Roan: While technically released earlier, its 2025 “Wedding Edit” and mainstream explosion made it the #1 most-requested “Main Character” moment of the year. It replaced “Mr. Brightside” as the song where everyone, regardless of age, lost their minds.
• “Espresso” – Sabrina Carpenter: This became the “Uptown Funk” of 2025. DJs used this as the transition from dinner to dancing because of its mid-tempo but high-energy groove.

2. The Modern Romantic (First Dance / Processional)

• “Stargazing” – Myles Smith: This was the “Indie-Folk” breakout of 2025. It has that organic, Mumford-style buildup that DJs love for a Grand Entrance or a Processional.
• “Beautiful Things” – Benson Boone: Used heavily for “Epic” first dances. DJs often wait for the high-energy bridge to cue the “cold sparks” or confetti cannons.

3. The Country-Crossover Winners

• “Gorgeous” – Kane Brown: Unlike other country hits, this one stayed in heavy rotation because it doesn’t feel “too country” for city weddings. It became the go-to 2025 First Dance for couples who wanted something modern but sentimental.
• “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” – Lainey Wilson: The massive 2025 “Power Song” for Bridesmaids’ entrances or upbeat bouquet tosses.

4. The “Millennial/Gen Z” Late Night Sets

• “APT.” – Rosé & Bruno Mars: This became the mandatory “hype” song for the final hour of the night. Its repetitive, chant-style chorus is a DJ’s dream for crowd participation.
• “Abracadabra” – Lady Gaga: Gaga returned to her dance-pop roots here. It bridges the gap between Millennial “The Fame” era nostalgia and Gen Z’s love for dark, punchy synth-pop.
