Help me make a good DJ playlist -->
Guys, I need help from all of you to find me good music for my uncle's wedding. I am the DJ, and I am running out of ideas for what kind of music I can use it. Keep in mind, the music needs to start straight away. Not long build ups like in trance, house etc. Also no dubstep or drum and step.
Music types preferred:
- RnB
- Pop
- Hip-Hop/rap
- Country
- Techno / Dance
+ other
Popular mainstream music is always a plus!
Any suggestions? Post links to youtube/spotify here.

Thanks. I'll go through these and see if I add them.
All though, most of the teens in this town listen only to the TOP-list music, such as Pitbull, Flo Rida, Rihanna etc, so adding them should please most of them, but to keep it interesting I am going to spice it up with other type of music as well to mix it up.
It also needs to be a rather long playlist, since it's going to play 2 days (night time).

Thanks nobody, keep em coming.
I need to have the playlist ready before 16th august.
ps: If you are norwegian / scandinavian you can also share music in our language/artists that are popular now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b04jq7NB1s You can surprise them with some classics :D Also this one is good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkXNEmtf9tk and have one thing in mind that if your uncle is around 30-40 , they've used to listen oldschool music :)
Thanks DiDo-G.
Yeah, I have already mixed up with a lot of classics/oldschool favorites. But anyways, keep sharing :-)
since its a wedding and they are around 30-40
get hands on the oldies of 80-90s
for a nice party i would prefer eurodance (also called italodance)
eg: cultur beat, wasp etc...
but dont forget you need low mid and high peaks as a dj
low peak - where the crowed can rest
mid peak - where they can rest and or still be partying
high peak - where everybody should be dancing
so the peak should look like an ECG for a best result.
Kiss - Strutter
Kiss - Black Diamond
The Kristet Utseende - Rockar Med Jesus
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
W.A.S.P - L.O.V.E Machine
Demolite: Yeah, that much I already know, that is about the DJing. We also have countless of music in our own language that are very popular among us. They differ from very fast to slow and easy to listen to.
I also managed to get most of the musics for the adults (70-90s music) which they have requested me to add. (They mostly love swing dance)
But then my remaining problem is the music right in between, from teens at the age of 13+ to mid 30s.
Wemera: Thanks, good list.

Forgot to mention, Kiss - Rock And Roll All Nite ;)
for the 13+ mids 30 everything from the past 2000-2013 from the charts can be played.
what worked very well here in germany was Haddaway - What is Love on a wedding.

I guess you're right. Gangnam style for some reason is very popular, as well as harlem shake, at least for the kids in this part of the world :-)
