Wedding All Time Songs!!

[Kernow]

Pretty representative I'd say.
Interestingly the 'feel good factor' seems to be thematic throughout the list.
Miserable 80's electronica has no inclusion......... unless #181 can be loosely considered as such ?

There may be a couple of typos or incorrect artists on the lists. The lists were compiled based on the song name...and we went to another database to grab the likely most popular artist.

Lots and lots of cleanup of the data was required as some users allow their clients to manually type in songs names.

I am doing around 70 weddings a year.

My estimation based on your play stats is 54

Trivia:
Highest number of songs requested in one night: 175
Highest number of songs played in one night: 111
Average number of songs requested per night: 69
Average number of songs played per night: 57
Total number of songs played in 2013: 4279

Interesting that Loch Lomond is the most requested but also the most banned.
I tend to get that too.

How do you work all this out. Is it something I can do with Serato? Useful for clients and also looking at what I play personally.

Surely your experience would tell you what the overall most popular songs are for weddings? Why would you need a list of the top 10?

Also there is no definitive top 10 as there are thousands of tracks to choose from and every gig is different, so it's not possible anyway
Lees top 100 is more useful.

The one that did surprise me was number 133 - the original King Harvest's Dancing in the Moonlight rather than Toploader's cover (not that there's much difference between them).

I watched them last year at the Brook and not many people showed up, which annoyed him - he made no effort.
I knew the guy before he was famous and he has not changed at all. Grumpy & egocentric.

Ironic as their biggest hit was a complete copy of another hit.
The King harvest one is better IMO.

Total number of songs played in 2013: 4279
Average number of songs played per night: 57

divide the 4279 by 57 = 75 gigs total (a few aren't weddings)

I use a spreadsheet as mentioned above.

All the best

Sorry divided the number requested instead of played
