As a wedding and party DJ of considerable experience, I can agree with most of the observations on here. There are three kinds of DJ's - the kind who plays what he wants to hear, the kind who plays what he'd like the crowd to like, and the kind who plays what the crowd do like.

The DJ's job is to read his audience on the night, and go with what is working - that starts with a little trial and error, and then following a line of musical style and experimenting a little as the night wears on.
The other important thing to remember is not to fire all your guns at once, as the song has it - you have to pace your guaranteed certs so you have plenty in reserve, and ready for a full on blast for the last forty-five minutes or so.
I have played to crowds where the dancers crowded onto the floor for anything from Northern Soul - a big deal where I live - the more obscure the better, to heavy metal, ACDC, Deep Purple and so on.
But pretty much the surefire ones to try along the way are -
Any Abba, Michael Jackson, Bee Gees, Shania Twain, Robbie Williams, Lionel Ritchie, Tina Turner.
For the final song, I usually go for New York New York, You'll Never Walk Alone, or We Are The Champions - always a fave when people are a bit tipsy and emotional.
My 'playout' music is Image by the Alan Haven Orchestra - a great memory-jerker for the Radio Luxemburg generation.
