Pleasing everyone on your wedding day can feel like an impossible task. This goes for the music as well, but luckily playing a wide variety of genres at the reception will tend to make sure each guest is happy for at least a few minutes. In honor of the upcoming royal wedding, popular streaming service Spotify is revealing the top 10 songs from wedding playlists globally. 

Whether you’re looking for the soundtrack to your ceremony, an option for your first dance, or adding to the “must play” list you are providing your band or DJ, we have a feeling at least one of these tracks will be heard on your big day.
