Top 25 Most Requested Disco Songs For Your Wedding Playlist

As a professional wedding DJ, I am in total shock. Would you believe that I've never put together a popular disco music playlist for my client's weddings? There doesn't seem to be a wedding that passes where there isn't one or two disco tracks thrown into a playlist. Disco is a popular genre of music that had it's roots in the 70s in nightclubs around Philadelphia and New York City, and would eventually expand into the nightclub scene in a lot of the big cities around America.  This popular genre would reach it's peak in the late 70s and by the time the early 80s rolled around, disco's popularity would wane significantly, but would influence a lot of the new wave and hip hop music that would rule the radio airwaves through out the 80s.  For some of the best disco music ideas to add into your wedding playlist, you'll want to read on and jot down a few of these songs.

If you are really into your music, you'll probably some of the song selections that were chosen for this playlists are from the Motown era.
