   Toploader's 'Dancing in the Moonlight' is a party classic. Did you know, the 2000 track is actually a cover - originally released by rock band King Harvest back in 1972?

2. Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa - One Kiss

   There's plenty of party songs to pick from when it comes to the late, great David Bowie. We reckon 'Let's Dance' is an excellent choice as it's bound to get people moving.

   Loud Luxury's 'Body' has been one of 2018's biggest dance anthems and will sound epic as the soundtrack to the fireworks at midnight on New Year's Eve.

6. Europe - The Final Countdown

   Minutes before the clock strikes twelve and we welcome in a New Year, Europe's 'The Final Countdown' is the perfect song to stick on (for quite obvious reasons).

7. Galantis - Runaway (U & I)

   Another classic dance anthem you've got to put on your New Year's Eve playlist is 'Runaway (U & I)' - the incredible 2014 debut single from Swedish duo Galantis.

8. Darude - Sandstorm

   For New Year's Eve 2016 in Helsinki, Finnish DJ Darude played this to a huge crowd and timed it perfectly so that the drop was just as the clock struck midnight. Incredible!

9. Journey - Don't Stop Believin'

   

   Journey - Don't Stop Believin' (Live in Houston)

   Journey's 1981 hit 'Don't Stop Believin'' didn't exactly set the world alight the first time around, only becoming a hit in the 00s. It's now a classic everyone knows the words to.

10. Major Lazer - Light It Up feat. Nyla & Fuse ODG

    You could go for Katy Perry's 'Fireworks' at midnight but we think Major Lazer's 'Light It Up' really brings the party (and lyrically it's just about the same, right?)
