Top Song List

In the summer/fall issue of Premier Bride for the Minneapolis Twin Cities area, I have had a "top songs played at wedding receptions" list published.

Premier Bide is published in cities all across the U.S. and about four months ago the local publisher called me up to ask me to write a short article with the most popular songs played at Wedding Receptions. I typed up a list of the songs that I most commonly play/requested and sent it off to them

This week I get a package with a half dozen copies of the book and there on page 42 is my wedding list.

I know that I have seen many lists published and many times there are songs on the list that I have never played and some that I have never even heard of. I know that many times these lists are different because of regions, population diversity and age of the Bridal Couples.
