10 Popular DJ Party Songs

I could sit here and tell you the “Cupid Shuffle”, “Cha Cha Slide”, the “Electric Slide”, “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)”, and other songs along those lines are the most popular DJ party songs you need to have in your DJ music repertoire.

Nope, that would be too easy.

Although those songs are must-haves for your DJ music collection, they are all line dances and you can’t play those all night long. Instead, I want to give you a list of songs that if you play a song that clears your dance floor, you can easily get your audience back with these must-have DJ party songs.

10 Popular DJ Party Songs

1. “24K Magic” by Bruno Mars

I could fill this entire list with Bruno Mars songs. He never seems to fail when it comes to songs that keep the dance floor alive.

2. “Yeah!” by Usher

I used to kick off lots of dance parties with this song and occasionally still do. This is a timeless classic that will keep your dance floor going.

3. “Low” by Flo Rida

A must-have song in your DJ music collection to get people back out on the dance floor if you happen to lose them.

4. “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan

This is one of those 90s throwbacks that never seems to get old.

5. “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber

This is a good one to hold on to since it’s modern and mixes things up a bit with the Latin flavor in it.

6. “I Gotta Feeling” Black Eyed Peas

Another group that I can fill this whole list with. Check out other songs from them for more popular DJ party songs.

7. “Baby Got Back” Sir Mix-A-Lot

As a DJ from Seattle, this song is gonna definitely be on this playlist.

8. “Play That Funky Music” by Wild Cherry

You got to have some old school in there so why not make it funky with this 70s party song.

9. “Teach Me How To Dougie” by New Boyz

I think this song is well-rounded enough to satisfy the hip-hop music lovers and not annoy the non-hip-hop music lovers.

10. “Love Shack” by B-52s

This will satisfy all of the 80s music lovers. Just make sure you let the song play in its entirety and not think it’s over at the breakdown like I did the first time I played it.

I hope this list gets you off to a good start for putting together your DJ arsenal of music.
