SINGAPORE, June 9 — John Legend’s “All of Me” has proved to be the most popular song to tie the knot to in the republic.
Spotify yesterday released results of the most popular wedding songs both in Singapore and worldwide, and Legend’s ode to his wife Chrissy Teigen came out on top on both fronts.
Coming in second for wedding song of choice in Singapore was Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years,” while Adele’s Make You Feel My Love was third. Other popular artistes in the top 20 include Michael Buble, Ingrid Michaelson and Sam Smith.
Having analysed more than 400,000 wedding playlists worldwide, the music streaming service found that romantic ballads are the preferred genre for weddings.
