You're a DJ - you should already know! :-)

For a start, what age are the kids?

10-14

This is what I have so far:
Paradise by Coldplay
Grenade by Bruno Mars
Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
She Wolf by David Guetta ft. Sia
Hips Don't Lie by Shakira
Tik Tok by Ke$ha
California Gurls by Katy Perry
Wake Me Up by Avicii
Marry You by Bruno Mars
Die Young by Ke$ha
Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
Rolling in the Deep by Adele
Gangnam style by Psy
Macarana
Harlem Shake
Cha-Cha Slide
Cupid Shuffle

It is hard to get music the guys would like because I can't use profanity in any songs.

I would say (based on my experience in the UK) that kids of that age group will just want to hear whatever the latest tracks are in the pop and R&B charts. That's it. Nothing older than literally a few weeks. Something from a year ago is ancient history to them.

And they probably will ask for something with swearing in it. Even when you play the clean versions, you'll probably hear them singing the "alternative" words. Nothing you can do about the singing but do play clean versions.

Check the billboard top charts.... start there.

Billboard Hot 100 charts are a good place to start but that only indicates what's getting radio airplay on terrestrial radio. Best place to check is the iTunes Top 100 Songs...that indicates what songs people are downloading. While it is very similar to the Hot 100, it indicates more what everyday people are downloading to their phones or iPods, as opposed to what is played on terrestrial radio all the time.
