Most Requested Pop Songs
The royalty of pop seems to rule the request lists. Artists like Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake cross demographics and are really great at getting people of different generations on the dance floor. All of these artists (and ones like them) have created sounds with old school callbacks with a new twist. If I start a party with '24K,' by Bruno Mars, it typically fills a floor fast!
