Wired Music: Samantha Ronson’s NYE Playlist

Celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson shared her New Year’s Eve playlist with People Magazine, and, not surprisingly, it featured a few familiar names. The list included a track produced by her brother, Mark Ronson, as well as “Bossy,” from girlfriend Lindsay Lohan’s shelved disc, Spirit in the Dark.

“Sex on Fire” by Kings of Leon
“Uptempo and fun. And the singer has the sexiest voice I’ve heard in a while.”

“Best For Last” by Adele
“Not for the dance floor, but amazing. A beautifully sad song that everyone can relate to.”

“She’s Expensive” by The Virgins
“Indie-rock with a cool dance vibe.”

“Never Miss a Beat” by the Kaiser Chiefs
“Great, upbeat rock n’ roll! Best of all, my brother Mark Ronson produced it.”

“Death and All His Friends” by Coldplay
“I love this song. The whole album is pretty great, but this is the track that stands out the most for me.”

“Love Lockdown” by Kanye West
“You feel his heart and soul in everything – that honesty sets him apart.”

“That’s Not My Name” by The Ting Tings
“I hated this at first – it sounded like a bad version of ‘Hey Mickey.’ But now I can’t hear it enough.”

“Black and Gold” by Sam Sparro
“Grooves like ‘Tainted Love’ without feeling like a rip-off. It’s never failed on the dance floor, no matter the crowd.”

“Oxford Comma” by Vampire Weekend
“The band name alone is worthy of the list; the album is even better. Fun, clever and melodic.”

“Poker Face” by Lady GaGa
“One of the few club-friendly records I actually listen to when I’m not working.”

“L.E.S. Artistes” by Santogold
“This song is great on the dance floor and in the car, driving.”

“Bossy” by Lindsay Lohan
“A new artist I’m sure you’ll all hear or read about soon.”

Samantha will spend her New Year’s in Miami Beach, spinning at a party at the Raleigh Hotel. If you’re in the area and would like to check out Sam’s playlist live, check here for info.
