This Was the Wedding Song Everyone Was Obsessed With the Year You Were Born

Jun 24 2018 - 2:00pm

When it comes to your reception, half the battle is picking out a perfect playlist [1] that will appease everyone in the room — from your teenage cousin [2] who's definitely cooler than you ever were, to your adorable, but traditional parents [3]. An easy hack? Round up a selection of music that includes the number one love song from each year of the last few decades (bonus: narrowing music down this way is also a great hack for picking out a first dance song [4] if you and your significant other can't decide). From "At Last" [5] to "All of Me," [6] see which wedding-perfect songs climbed the charts ahead!
