Even more surprising is that of the top 10 songs, five are from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s and include such musical legends as Van Morrision, ABBA, Michael Jackson and Whitey Houston.
The list, which is compiled from the wedding playlists of millions of Spotify users gives us an insight into what’s being played at wedding receptions the world over and the verdict seems to be that great music truly is timeless.
