DJ Intelligence Most Requested Songs of 2009


DJ Intelligence is a company that offers DJs and their clients access to a huge computerized database of songs. Every song requested through its software is tallied by the company (nearly 2 million requests over the past 12 months),

Its latest Most Requested Songs of 2009 charts are now available for PDF download from DJ Intelligence. These are songs requested for all occasions, wherever a DJ might be spinning, from weddings to parties.

Of course, just because a song is popular doesn't mean YOU have to like it, or hear it played at your wedding. In fact, discerning wedding couples will often go through lists like these to identify the songs they'll place on their "Do Not Play" list! But don't go overboard if you do that. Like them or not, these songs are there because masses of people voted for them with their feet (their dancing feet).

Additionally, DJ Intelligence tallies, compiles, and publishes charts just for weddings -- separate lists for the most requested First Dance songs, Father-Daughter songs, Cake-Cutting songs, etc. Those are available as PDF downloads here.

To tell the truth, I don't use DJ Intelligence's database in my own DJ business -- I compile my own song lists targeted to my clients and reflecting my own musical knowledge, and I have other ways of soliciting my clients' musical input. But I'd be a fool to ignore their charts entirely . . . and my Mama didn't raise no fool.
