Track list for a sweet 16 party (help)

DJ Lukijo 6:03 PM - 24 March, 2012
Just got a last minute gig for a sweet 16 birthday party, I'll be on in 5 hours. See I'm oldskool and being playing clubs for at least 12 years (heavy Hip-Hop, Reggae, Dance, house etc...), however, I ain't got a clue as far as what "16 year old suburb kids aka white girls" listen to these days. Hit me off please with some suggestions on what's hip with the Facebook, YouTube generation?
Thankx in advance :)

the absolute newest hip hop songs mixed with 4 justin beiber tracks. sprinkle on the "we found love" "good feeling" "give me everything" type crap for the uptempo change of pace....

I recently did a few sweet 16 parties.
These kids wanted all the dirtiest songs - meanwhile the parents are asking me "can you keep it PG-13" then four kids in a row requested "make it nasty", "ass dance" etc.

I am hosting a sweet 16 and need to get a playlist in to the DJ. I am very lost as to where I should start. Any suggestions?
DJ Swaye 1:40 PM - 30 December, 2017
trap music mostly. go on youtube and type in the latest trap music artist ie.. Migos,21 savage and from there youtube should populate like artist. once you get those that should be the jist of most sweet16 party music.
phokus 10:40 PM - 31 December, 2017
All the Top 40 and whatever is being played on the radio and check your local artists in the area. These kids no those no name artists with no record labels that are just on YouTube and SoundCloud.
