Ed Sheeran has given us one of his biggest hits with “Perfect”, and its popularity isn’t fading away, especially with the newlyweds. The list of the most popular wedding songs of 2023 is here, and it’s led by Sheeran’s romantic ballad from his 2017 album Divide.
A new study conducted by Encore Musicians rounded up the most popular wedding songs in the UK over the course of the past 12 months, and Sheeran’s “Perfect” came on top. According to this study, 16% of newlyweds in the UK enjoyed their first dance while this ballad played in the background. Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” also made the cut and occupied the fourth spot on the list.
John Legend‘s “All Of Me”, Elvis Presley‘s “Can’t Help Falling In Love”, and Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” also made it to the top five, and they were in pretty good company.
The list of songs in the top ten also included “Make You Feel My Love” by Adele, “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, “At Last” by Etta James, “Marry You” by Bruno Mars, and “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder.
Encore Musicians is one of the UK’s most popular booking platforms for musicians, and they used the data from over 3,000 events to conduct this study.
