If you're in charge of picking the music for a big party, it can be anxiety-inducing to say the least.

Do you pick throwback jams for the nostalgia factor? Dance music? Rock? Or should you try for a chilled out acoustic mood?

I've just discovered a Spotify playlist that totally solves this problem.

It's simply called "Top 100 tracks currently on Spotify" and I'm considering it my crowd-sourced shortcut to crowd-pleasing music.

The list simply consists of Spotify users' 100 most streamed songs of the moment.

That means they're picked using a massive focus group of a reported 60 million followers.

Check out the first few tracks when I first found the playlist on Friday. Pretty good mix of fun and chilled out, right?

After listening to a few songs using the list on Friday, I came to the conclusion that Spotify's favorite songs are good enough for me. The party-friendly playlist was fun, fresh, and not so dancey or in-your-face to take over the party. It's perfect for any social gathering.

Of course, it's not totally exempt from FM radio hits. The latest One Direction single was present when I checked the list on Friday. But hey, it wasn't so bad! And most of the songs are bouncy and upbeat, like OMI's "Cheerleader" and Disclosure and Sam Smith's "Omen."
