rc40 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi there, My apologies if this not the right place to ask this question - I'm just a guy trying to help his kids' (public) Primary School, and I haven't DJed for 20 years! Crikey I feel old saying that. Long story short: I've been asked to play songs at my kids' Primary School Fundraising Night, and I'd like to help them out (I'd be a pretty poor Dad if I didn't!). The crowd will be suburban parents, teachers & their friends, aged late 20s to early 50s I guess. Can anyone please give me the names some songs suitable for that sort of crowd from the last 10 years or so? By way of example, I asked some other parents for suggestions, and apart from the usual suspects (Katy Perry, Pink, Beyonce), someone suggested 'Cake by the Ocean' by DNCE, which sounds brilliant (I think). Thanks in advance for your help. rc40 Cupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatLeSS Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Following for the cheese ideas. If you come across remixes that are actually cool post em here peeps! These types of lists are usually a #1 start for me, it's clearly what's popular so you're guarantee'd to have that collective vibe happening straight away.https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/TYv9MtpnqFRMPKP7QFcYfW/the-official-uk-top-40-singles-chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 if you're looking for top 40 ish cheese, you can go here https://www.ariacharts.com.au/annual-charts/2014/singles-chart and scroll through the list of each year's top 100 in aus. anything from late 90s to mid 2000s is probably a winner in that age range Cupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabRat Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So on topic of playlists for kids - in my past experiences I use to find that just about anything on the radio works as well as the fun 90's and 00's party tunes. If you get your hands on the old So Fresh compilations you can pretty much play anything from those and they'll be fine. I found that the kids are easily amused when it comes to music so as long as it's fun and catchy you'll be fine Cupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
