The Top 10 First Dances

  

There is an ever changing list of romantic ballads, novelty tunes and big film sound track numbers that the great British public choose for their first dance. Some are chosen for what are generally agreed are the right reasons, some because they are topical or "in fashion" and some are picked for the sheer novelty value. There are however a selected few that are really popular and have been hanging around the top 10 for a couple of years now. The list we have put together here has been compiled with the aid of hundreds of DJ and live musicians up and down the country, the musical choices do vary slightly from region to region, but all the results go together to make up our overall top 10.
