Anatomy Of A Party Playlist

You can stop playing the Chainsmokers on repeat. Street’s giving you the recipe for the perfect party playlist.

The Trashy EDM Song

“Intoxicated,” “Levels”

These songs will make you feel like you’re walking through a Forever 21/H&M/other shitty fast fashion store.

Play When: The International kids come to your party.

The Oldie but Goodie

“Sweet Caroline,” “Come on Eileen,” “With or Without You”

Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone the only part of “Sweet Caroline” you know is the “bum, bum bum!”

Play When: The night is winding down and you want to end it on a happy, nostalgic note because people are usually too drunk to figure out that these songs are actually sad.

The Ugly but Loveable

“All Star,” “Every Time We Touch”

Unlike the Oldie but Goodies or a fine wine, these songs did not age well. But like a pug, these songs are so gross that they’re loveable.

Play When: People are too smashed to realize what they’re dancing to.

The White Girl Rap Song

“Gold Digger,” “Anaconda,” “I Don’t Fuck with You”

Usually coupled with chucking deuces on an elevated surface.

Play When: You want people to start fighting.

The Scream–Along Songs

“Mr. Brightside,” “Stacy’s Mom”

If you didn't lose your voice while these songs were playing at the party, were you even at the party?

Play When: The crowd is dying down and you need to Make the Party Great Again!

The One that Gets All the Basic Bitches Hype

“Side to Side,” “Love on Top”

Think anything by Beyonce or Ariana Grande. The one that elicits squeals as people drunkenly scream, “This is our SONG!”

Play When: The girls look bored and have reverted to taking drunken selfies with Snapchat filters.

The One that Everyone Knows the Lyrics to

“Hey Ya,” “Ignition (Remix),” “Glamorous”

Now That’s What I Call a Good Party!

Play When: People are tired of that one frat boy putting Migos on repeat and just need a good crowd pleaser.
