RECEPTION Will You Dance? 13017 views

WeddingPath's forum is buzzing with ideas for first dance music from favourite tunes to etiquette. So we know you are all going to love Shazam's latest survey on the nation's favourite 'first dance' songs.

New research released by Shazam, the world’s leading mobile to web music service provider, reveals the nation’s favourite wedding ‘first dance’ songs. Topping the chart is the classic love song, Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton followed by Angels by Robbie Williams in second place and You’re Beautiful by James Blunt coming a close third.

The survey was conducted in the UK amongst 16 – 64 year olds who were asked to pick ‘what would be their favourite song to have as their first dance at their wedding’, from the most popular romantic tracks, on Shazam’s 5 million strong database, compiled by thousands of music fans across the UK using Shazam to ‘ID’ their favourite tunes with their mobile phone.

While the top three songs may seem conventional choices to celebrate your first dance as man and wife, the poll also revealed some more interesting faves for the first dance with The Beatles’ classic In My Life in fifth place and Led Zeppelin’s All of my Love appearing in seventh, perhaps boosted by their recent sold-out live concert.

Will Mills, Shazam’s Head of Music said, “The poll shows how classic our music tastes are when it comes to that all-important first dance.”
