School Dance Safe songs “Top 30″ 11/8/10
Posted by: admin on 11/08/2010Music Notes:
Katy Perry has her timing down. Just when one song drops off the chart another is right behind it. Goodbye “California Gurls, Hello “Firework”. Tao Cruz’s “Dirty Picture” took off big on radio, but sales have not supported the airplay and the song is not getting much traction. Could be the last week. In the world of “DO NOT PLAY” you can almost count on anything with 50 Cent involved is going to be over the top…that’s the case with Jeremih’s single featuring 50 cent….”Down on me”. Guess what that one is about. Another song to avoid at schools is “Black and Yellow” by Wiz Khalifa….just released and getting airplay, but loaded with the N word and a sprinkling of the “F” bomb. Set it aside for your night club gigs. Keep an eye out for interest in a new “Black Eyed Pea’s single: “The Time”! Great Music out there….go have fun.

When my kids asked me to DJ the school dance I said yes! Your site and all the info on trends and what not to play saved me. The kids had fun, the adults had fun and so did I.
Thanks for reminding me why DJing is so much fun
Take it off is not safe for schools. IMHO… I was even asked to change it by a bride at a recent wedding reception while many of the other top songs were OK.
