Mobile Beat Magazine's Top 200
Most Requested Songs Of All-Time
Mobile Beat —
a DJ industry-related magazine—has been compiling surveys since 1992 on
the most popular songs that people dance to at special events (i.e.: wedding
receptions, corporate functions, etc.) by asking mobile DJs nationwide
to submit the top 25 songs for which they get requests. The result was
The Top 200 Most Requested Songs of All-time, published in 1992.
The following is the most recent Top 200 — released in
2006.
All of the music we play is "Radio Edited".
Although some of the songs may be listed in the Top 200, we reserve the
