DJ Saif-Side, head resident DJ/music programmer at Toyroom Kolkata, shares his list of Top 10 trending party tracks. “In our club we seldom play Bollywood music as our guests love more electronic dance music, commercial hits. There are many tracks that have become popular after Reels on Instagram, so we do get a lot of requests for those tracks too,” he said.

1. Calm Down remix (Rema, Selena Gomez)

“Calm Down is still topping the charts. The partyholics look out for this song in the club and they go crazy whenever we play it. Most end up doing the hook step too... that has taken social media by storm!” said Saif
Guess which track is getting popular with girls? “Players is quite popular among girls these days. We have been getting a lot of requests for this song. A tight old school beat and a modern verse get the girls grooving!” shared Saif.
“If there is no The Weeknd in the playlist it’s not a party. Reminder is currently trending on social media and also on our playlist. Girls sing along whenever I drop this track.”
A Hindi song that is a crowd favourite is Maan meri jaan, the King and Nick Jonas version. “This is a Hindi banger, this collab with Nick Jonas is by far the most trending track in the country now. People know the entire song by heart. Totally a different vibe when performed in front of the crowd. One is bound to get goosebumps.”
