We all love a good party playlist, and there's a real science behind curating the best one. You could go for one of the already made ones on Spotify or Apple Music, but it may not be catered to your music tastes. Here are some throwbacks, some good dancing music, and some great sing-a-long songs you shouldn't forget.

1. "Milkshake" by Kelis

First of all, this may be the best, girliest sing-a-long song of all time. "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard." Absolute classic. Definitely, don't forget this one.

2. "In Da Club" by 50 Cent

Seriously, a club favorite. The beats behind it and the essence of your childhood will hit you on the dance floor like a brick wall. Dance your booty off, people. You won't wanna be left without this song on your playlist.

3. "Pop That" by French Montana

Work, work, work. This is one of my personal favorites. With features from Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne this one is an easy one to "pop that" to. Although the language could get quite risqué, just dance away and you won't even know the difference. The beat is fantastic and the flow of the raps is just on point.

4. "Wannabe" by Spice Girls

Whether it's a GNO or a GNI, this song is a throwback classic. You can honestly look at your BFF and sing all the parts while sippin' on whatever fruity drink of your preference. Sing along to this golden classic without feeling an ounce of guilt that you know every word.

5. "I Feel It Coming" by The Weeknd

A chill relevant song. Everyone loves the beat behind the Weeknd and the amazing lyrics. Any song by the Weeknd will be a party hit no matter where you are or what you're doing.

6. "GDFR" by Flo Rida

A party hit that came out in 2015 is still fun and a dance favorite in 2017. The beat behind it is easy to dance to and twerk to. Don't have a party without this or you'll just be sad.

7. "24K Magic" by Bruno Mars

"Players, put yo' pinky rings up to the moon!" is guaranteed to have your drink sloshed all over you and everyone near you when you raise it to the sky so quickly. This is a fun and carefree song that can get anyone hype without it being rap music. It's just too easy not to love this song.

8. "Pay My Rent" by DNCE

Joe Jonas with this catchy sing-a-long with an upbeat start, and well finish. This one may not be as well known as the rest, but by the end of your party you'll have everyone addicted to this.

Whether it's for your best friend's birthday party or a night in with friends, this playlist is going to rock everyone's socks off. It has a mix of throwback tunes and booty poppin' jams.
