- First dance wedding songs can be difficult to choose, but some end up being more popular than others.
- Spotify put together a list of the most popular wedding songs by state.
- Ed Sheeran dominated, making the list 24 times.
Choosing a first dance song for your wedding can be challenging.
The pressure is on to choose a song that will hold a special place in your heart forever, and the number of playlists to pick from can be overwhelming.
Funnily enough, out of all the options, many songs end up being more popular than others as the soundtrack to the first dance.
With the help of Spotify, we've put together a list of the most popular wedding song in every state.
Spotify looked at all-time wedding playlists — like those titled with the word "wedding" and the label "first dance" — to see which songs and artists were included the most. From there, they looked at each state's top 500 wedding songs on the "wedding" playlists and ranked them in order of most-played wedding songs based on listening in May so far.
Apparently couples love dancing to the sound of Ed Sheeran, whose songs are the most popular first dance songs in almost half of the US. A few other artists are popular in multiple states; there are a total of 21 different songs on the list.
Below, see the most popular wedding song in every state, plus Washington, DC.
