Here we go! I just worked a "younger crowd" last night, and here is their top 40 wedding playlist and if you are into rap and top 40, this will be the wedding dj playlist for you. The reason why I label this as a wedding playlist 2011 is because a lot of these songs will be used for many, many months to come. You will see some that are more wedding music and some that are more for the club. Many of these tracks will not work for some wedding playlists due to the fact that they lean heavily on the hip hop. Yes, they are not REALLY "wedding songs" that would work for your father daughter wedding songs, lol, but this is more for the late night, let's party and dance part of the wedding!
Some of these are borrowed from wedding playlists 2010 that I have used all year. Many will have your wedding dj looking at you sideways! A club disc jockey may have used many of these, but when it comes to doing your wedding planning, add these songs carefully. Enjoy!
All I Do Is Win -- Dj Khaled F T Pain, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg And Rick Ross
Love In This Club -- Usher F Young Jeezy
If you want love songs, this is probably the only one that comes close!

Watcha Say -- Jason Derulo
Bedrock (Adult) -- Young Money F Lloyd
Kiss Me Thru The Phone -- Soulja Boy Tell'em F Sammie
Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It -- Dem Franchize Boyz
By the way, this wedding playlist is basically in the order that I played them. i was having a good time beat matching to keep the wedding reception feeling more like a club atmosphere. Not a lot of announcements and such.
Memories -- David Guetta F Kid Cudi
Sugar -- Flo Rida F Wynter
I Like It -- Enrique Iglesias F Pitbull

This was about the time they wanted to do a little group dance so I threw on the Soulja Boy song, which is definitely a throw back to the wedding playlist 2010.
No Love -- Eminem F Lil Wayne
You Belong With Me -- Taylor Swift
Billie Jean -- Michael Jackson
Journey With Jean -- Dj Sizzahandz
Girls On The Dance Floor (Adult) -- Far East Movement F 24 8

Time (The Dirty Bit) (Radio Edit) -- Black Eyed Peas
The above song is basically a remake of I've Had The Time Of MY Life from Dirty Dancing, which is one of those big time wedding reception songs, found on just about every wedding dj setlist and it desperately needed to be redone!
Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor) -- Pitbull F T -- Pain
Magic -- B.O.B. F Rivers Cuomo
The above song sounds like something from an 80s alternative playlist. It's mega-upbeat and bouncy.

Dub Step is the latest trend for the youngsters out there. These are your down beat hip hop songs that work well for dancing (avoid using these for mother son wedding songs) but you should make sure you have guests who will dance to it.

This dj playlist is going to be the best wedding playlist for a younger crowd. Choose a few that you feel will fit with your idea of dance music. Many of these can be converted into wedding entrance songs if you wish. Like I said, this is the best dj playlist for wedding of the younger ilk and for a 2011 wedding dj playlist! Two weddings this weekend, highlights to come!
