This list is an all-purpose selection to get any party crowd moving and in a great mood for fun. What makes a great party song? Sexy, danceable, and fun to sing with friends are 3 key elements.
1. Lady GaGa featuring Colby O'Donis - "Just Dance" (2008)

This is the song that made Lady GaGa a star. The sly lyrics about partying a bit too much and one of the most infectious beats in all of music combine to make this the top party standard of today.
2. Flo Rida featuring Ke$ha - "Right Round" (2009)

Flo Rida, the current king of pop rap, gets a big boost here from party favorites of another era, the new wave pop group Dead or Alive and their big hit "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)." Flo Rida will have you singing and dancing along instantly.
3. Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne - "Let It Rock" (2008)

As soon as he stepped out from behind other musicians, Kevin Rudolf grabbed the spotlight with a vengeance. He brought the fire and takes us higher.
4. Kid Cudi - "Day 'n Nite" (2009)
Courtesy Fool's Gold
There's a hint of sadness here along with one of the most infectious backing tracks in recent history. Join that lonely stoner and free your mind at night.
5. Pink - "Get the Party Started" (2001)

Pink's #1 smash has been a party classic from the moment of release. There is no better way musically to kick off your party.
6. Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson - "The Way I Are" (2007)

Timbaland saved one of his best production jobs for himself. Grammatical concerns in the title aside, this will be one of the hottest dance tracks at your party.
7. Lil Wayne - "A Milli" (2008)
Courtesy Cash Money
The in your face wit of Lil Wayne has a place at your party. If you are sensitive to language, you may want to think twice, but otherwise this is an instant classic. Most of us can only dream about Lil Wayne's money.
8. Asher Roth - "I Love College" (2009)

For all those who remember college parties fondly whether it was last night or 10 years ago.
9. AC/DC - "You Shook Me All Night Long" (1980)
Courtesy Sony
It may be over 25 years old, but AC/DC's hard rock classic remains one of the most in demand party tunes of all time.
10. 3OH!3 - "Don't Trust Me" (2009)

In the words of 3OH!3, "Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips."
