Top 10 Most Popular First Dance Songs for 2012

There has been some fantastic music in the charts over the past year!  I’m sure plenty of you out there are throwing around ideas for your first dance, and although a classic ‘golden oldie’ is always nice, I think it’s a lovely idea to choose a modern song, something that perhaps reminds you of the proposal, or that signifies important events that happened last year.

Choosing a first dance song is such a personal task, but I think there are a few songs that will come up over and over again in 2012.

So, drum roll please… here’s my predictions for 2012’s top 10 first dance songs:

1. Marry You – Bruno Mars
   What could be more lyrically perfect?
2. Lego House – Ed Sheeran
   We love Ed! And this is a beautiful song.
3. Lovesong – Adele
   A lesser known track by Adele, but this ‘The Cure’ cover is just gorgeous!
4. Just the Way You Are – Bruno Mars
   That Bruno’s a smoothie isn’t he!
5. You Got the Love – Florence and the Machine
   This was very popular in 2011 and I’m sure will be in 2012 too.
6. Love on Top – Beyonce
   A great fun tune if you want to create a fun party vibe!
7. Wherever You Go – Charlene Soraia
   Just beautiful! Guaranteed to bring a tear to your Granny’s eye!
8. Dance with Me Tonight – Ollie Murs
   A bit of cheeky chappy Ollie to get the crowd going!
9. I Won’t Let You Go – James Morrison
   Such a soulful voice, and a beautiful song to go with it.
10. Nothing’s Real but Love – Rebecca Ferguson
    What a gorgeous track this is! Perfect for a first dance!

Love & Hugs
