Club and party hits collection - best of all time

    I've been listening to EDM (mostly progressive, deep, bigroom and electro house) for years at least few hours daily, but mainly live sets, rarely single tracks. This lead to having around 900 live sets, radio shows, promo mixes etc. in my top collection. It happens that I'll be in charge for music playback in few upcoming private parties (DJ) and now I have serious problem since I can't just play my favorite set since not all attendants prefer such style of music (+ they will have their own music requests). I will therefore have to play more mixed, commercial style (David Guetta, Inna, R.I.O., Avicii, DJ Antoine, Kid Massive, Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, pop artists etc.) which is popular in more commercial clubs and local stations. In other words, music that most people are familiar with and is appropriate for partying and dancing (old hits got to be included as well).

    So, could anyone please point me into right direction where to get such playlists and music collections? I would also really appreciate if someone could share me his playlists or list of mp3 collection - this can be done within seconds with program like this, which automatically generates .txt file: softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/File-List-Maker.shtml

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Yeah well, they're not going to publicly announce illegal sharing of copywritten material.

    Just youtube the artists and pick the song with the most views.

    Let me clarify it better. I would only need playlist of mainstream music for 2 or 3 parties since my own friends who would like to listen some good music on their birthday and graduate party asked to take care of the music. I'd just like to make them a favor as a good gesture and contribute to a better party.

    I have no intention for DJ-ing career since it's really not a future job in my country unless you are willing to play MTV hits over and over again for minimal salary (not even closely enough for living because a lot of DJs are playing for free). And also once again, prerecorded sets are somewhat useless in my case since I have no idea how party will develop and which type of genre will attendants like to hear. But as far as I know them, what I mentioned in first post is the most likely to be the case (in addition to local music, but that's whole other thing). And even if there won't be any wishes, I can't just play Hardwell's set but it's simply too harsh for someone who's not into EDM.

    Yeah you're really doing them a big favour by being the worst dj possible and being some unprepared and lazy. If you don't know what to play as a dj then don't even bother.
