Have you ever heard a really great party song, just to realize you’ve never heard it at a party? Or that it has only been played once or twice? I know this is something that happens to me quite often. I hear the same songs played over and over again at parties, but here are 15 songs broken down by years that need to be added to your party playlist.

2000s
  • “Just Dance (feat. Colby O’Donis) by Lady Gaga”
  • “Low (feat. T-Pain) by Flo Rida”
  • “The Way I Are (feat. Keri Hilson & D.O.E) by Timbaland”
  • “Yeah! (feat. Lil Jon & Ludacris) by Usher”
2010s
  • “Beez In the Trap (feat. 2 Chainz) by Nicki Minaj”
  • “Pursuit of Happiness by Kid Cudi”
  • “Fire Burning by Sean Kingston”
  • “Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner”
Late 2010s
  • “Gold Digger (feat. Jamie Foxx) by Kayne West”
  • “Act Up by City Girls”
  • “Jordan Belfort by Wes Walker & Dyl”
  • “Congratulations by Post Malone”
2020s
  • “Girls in the Hood by Megan Thee Stallion”
  • “Industry Baby by Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow”
  • “Knife Talk (feat. 21 Savage & Project Pat) by Drake”

So, next time you are asked for a song suggestion at a party or even getting ready, give these songs a listen.
