I don't listen to "modern music" myself
Haven't bought an album in ages 
-do buy the occasional single that I like from itunes.
Get my kicks from absolute 80s (MNHQ disclaimer: other radio stations are available)
But want to make a playlist that is a bit more "party" and won't leave me completely stuck in 1989 
Songs that have been in my mind as at least this decade as a starting point:
Price Tag JessieJ
Starships Nicki Minaj
Love in a hopeless place Rihanna
quite like that 1direction song that was on Strictly last week but only recognised it cos of
Any more in this vein gratefully received.
