This ‘80s hit has been crowned the most popular wedding song — and rightly so: study
And the winner is…
The tune most beloved when tying the knot goes to Whitney Houston’s pop ballad “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” according to a recent study by Breezit, an online wedding vendor search tool.
The 1987 hit, which was on Houston’s second studio album, “Whitney,” appeared 484 times across the 2,000 wedding-themed Spotify playlists the company poured through — which contained a total of 49,091 songs.
The playlists included titles like “Wedding dancefloor,” “Wedding party,” “Walking down the aisle” and “First dance songs” — and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” which won the late singer, known as “The Voice,” a Grammy in 1988 and was featured on more than 24% of those nuptial-centric compilations.
The 1976 worldwide hit “Dancing Queen,” off ABBA’s fourth studio album, “Arrival,” was crowned the second place winner.
