Hi,

After a DJ meeting (DJ Gavin Mathews was also there) and doing this at the meeting.

Name your 10 to 20 most popular songs for an average mobile disco function.

When I say average I mean a mixture of ages etc etc (so it could be a wedding, 30th Birthday or whatever)

This does not have to be your 10 most played but the 10 you think works the best etc. And they dont have to be in any order.

So what are your floorfillers (not only floorfillers, but also those that keep the dancefloor going)?

1) Pointer Sisters - Im so exited
2) Mark Ronson/Amy Wineyhouse - Valerie
3) Suga Babes - About you now
4) Reef - Place your hands
5) Salt & Peppa - Push it
6) Bryan Adams - Summer of 69

16) Dexys M R - Come on Eileen
17) Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
18) Wham - Im your man
19) Kenny Loggins - Footloose

DeeJayMitch - Cheers for that, I will get hold of a copy of that from somewhere, cheers.

Lots of good songs coming in on the lists, its good to be reminded of great classics like these that we may have forgotten about.

This is a good posting because it's a nice check list.

It confirms that we mostly play the same popular stuff, or maybe reminds us of the odd track which could be played more.

a good posting and yes it was a cracking reminder of some cheesy classics

but cant believe nobody mentioned SOUL BANANA !!!!

best rocknsoul mix around

Jukeboxdj......

Nudge nudge.....you could always do a list yourself and include "Soul Banana" whatever that is LOL

1. brown eyed girl - van morrison
2. stuck in the middle - steelers wheels
3. im alive(dance mix) - celine dion
4. soul banana - mastermix
5. the best - tina turner

7. the gambler - kenny rodgers
8. valerie - amy whinehouse / mark ronson
9. if tomorrow never comes remix - ronan keaton
10. lets stick together - bryan ferry

Thought I'd add a list too, but decided that I'd first leave out any that had appeared above and see what were the best of the rest (no point in repeating, is there?).

So here we go, some more floor-fillers and followers (and maybe a surprise or two)
Of course, some of these only work in the right context.

1. Samantha Mumba - Always Come Back To Your Love
2. Corrs - Breathless
3. Ricky Martin - Livin' la Vida Loca

21. Beatles - I Should Have Known Better
22. The Drifters - Saturday Night At The Movies
23. Eddie Cochran - C'mon Everybody/Summertime Blues

No mate, I think you missed the point of the list....

The idea is to list YOUR own personal top ten, the song which you think work best at discos with a mixed age crowd......it dont matter if you repeat what others have said because the idea is for me to tot these up after a few weeks and compile the DJU Top Ten.....

So your basically registering another vote if you mention somthing that others have already mentioned.....then when I compile the list I will show how many votes the song received.....

Sorry maybe I didnt make that clear that was the idea.

Oh yea.....theirs no problem with listing more than 10 if you really really want too

I have also been running this on another forum, so I will be compiling the lists from both forums and posting the results, its gotta run for a while yet as theirs lots of members who aint put a list up yet

OK, now I've read it properly, all I need is an edit button

2. scissor sisters - i dont feel like dancing
3. B52's - love shack

10. damian - the timewarp
11. madness - one step beyond
12. tony christy - amarillo
