This prom playlist has 50 songs for the best prom night, from Espresso, APT. and Levitating to Mr. Brightside, the Cha Cha Slide and a slow dance to Perfect. It's built for Year 11 and sixth form proms in 2026.
Current pop fills the first half. Group dances and throwbacks follow, then a couple of slow songs give everyone their prom photo moment before the last singalong. A run of extra pop favourites then closes the list.

Why these songs work
Prom crowds want what's in the charts right now, plus a few songs that everyone can dance to as a group.
Every pick was checked against Last.fm listening data, so you can be sure the year group knows them.
Bring this playlist to life at a silent disco
Schools often run this mix next to our pop playlist and our 2000s pop playlist, giving teachers a channel of their own too.
The glowing headsets look brilliant in prom photos. Staff can see at a glance that everyone is having fun.
For school proms in South Wales and West Wales our Full Service team can set everything up in the hall. Schools further away usually choose DIY hire, which a member of staff can hand out in minutes. Book for prom.
