What are the most overplayed wedding songs?

There are certain songs that appear at nearly every wedding in the UK. They are crowd-pleasers, but after hearing them dozens of times, they can feel a bit predictable. The usual suspects include 'I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas, 'Mr Brightside' by the Killers, and 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond. 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson and 'Love Shack' by the B-52s are also very common.

These songs work because they are easy to dance to and everyone knows the words. But if you want something a little fresher, you can look for similar songs that are less overused. For example, instead of 'Mr Brightside', you could play a different indie anthem from the same era. Instead of 'Sweet Caroline', try a different singalong classic that means something to you.

It is your wedding, so choose music you love. If a song is overplayed but it makes you smile, keep it. If you are tired of hearing it, leave it out. The most important thing is that the music reflects your taste and gets your guests on the dance floor.

You can also mix in older classics and newer hits to keep the night interesting. A good playlist has variety, so no one gets bored.
