From choosing the pre-drinking destination, to ensuring every musical taste is catered for, making the ultimate G.N.O playlist is a lot of pressure. Listen up resident friendship group DJs – this is how to get the girl-power party properly going…
1. Figure out the vibe – are you headed to your local Pop World for a night of cheesy classics, or to a Fabric-style rave? This is essential for deciding what type of songs you need for your playlist.
2. Choose where to have pre-drinks – again, this is crucial. If you’re having it at Sarah’s then you better have some Britney, but if you’re at Lucy’s you need to keep it PG in case her mum wakes up.
3. Text the Group Chat asking for recommendations – Pleasing the crowd is all part of being the resident DJ in your friendship group. This is all well and good until someone suggests ‘#SELFIE’ by The Chainsmokers, at which point you decide your knowledge of music is superior.
4. Name the playlist – often overlooked, the name of the playlist can determine how well it goes down with your peers. Think of something funny that will resonate with the whole group.
5. Browse Spotify for your party bangers – despite knowingyour music taste is impeccable, Spotify is always useful for those tunes even you forgot about.
6. Throw in a couple of Guilty Pleasures – Everyone loves Madonna, right?
7. Decide on the order – again, often ignored with Spotify’s love for the shuffle button, but equally as important as the other steps. Deciding what songs lead well into others to keep the party vibe running all night long is vital in ensuring Amy doesn’t end up asleep before the taxi arrives again.
8. Spend the entire week listening to the playlist to get yourself pumped – banger after banger to see you through the working week. You just know Jessica and Sophie are doing the same.
9. Ward off your peers from skipping any tracks during pre-drinks – spending the entire time sat by the laptop to ensure everyone takes in everysong you so perfectly crafted together.
10. Cave in to peer pressure and allow a change – fineeeee Holly you can put on that R&B Jam from 2003. To be honest, it should have been in the playlist.
