Overview


Trending Crates are one of the most popular features in Crate Hackers v11. They give you instant access to the hottest songs from Spotify charts, TikTok viral hits, and more — all organized into performance-ready DJ crates.


Instead of guessing what will move the dance floor, Trending Crates keep you up to date with the top 50–100 tracks across every genre and decade.

Accessing Trending Crates


You can open Trending Crates two ways:

  1. From the Crates panel → click Trending Crates

  2. From the Crate Builder → choose Import from Trending Crates

How It Works

  • Crate Hackers automatically references popular Spotify playlists in multiple genres and decades.

  • The tool compiles the top tracks into curated crates (usually 50–100 songs).

  • You can instantly match tracks to your local library, pull missing tracks from pools/streaming, and export them to your DJ software.

Key Features

  • Genres & Decades: From Country and Hip-Hop to 1960s–2000s throwbacks, you’ll always know the best songs for any theme.

  • TikTok Viral Hits: Stay current with what’s trending on TikTok and Instagram Reels — crucial for proms, schools, and college parties.

  • Favorites: Add any chart to your Favorites for quick reference later (e.g., Pop Current, TikTok Viral).

  • One-Click Crate Build:

    • Select your chart → Match tracks to your library → Fill gaps from pools or streaming → Export to Serato, Rekordbox, VirtualDJ, etc.

Example Use Cases

  • Building a ’90s Dance Party crate with the most proven floor-fillers

  • Prepping for a high school prom with TikTok Viral Hits so you’re current

  • Staying on top of Pop Current charts for weddings and open-format gigs

  • Finding Outlaw Country or Decades playlists for theme nights

FAQs


Q: Do I need Spotify Premium to use Trending Crates?

A: Nope. Crate Hackers scrapes Spotify’s public playlists, so you don’t need an active Spotify account.


Q: What happens if a song isn’t in my library?

A: You can track match against your local files, then grab missing tracks from record pools (you need an active subscription to these), streaming, or purchase links.


Q: Can I export directly to my DJ software?

A: Yes — Serato, Rekordbox, VirtualDJ, and others are supported.


Q: Can I customize these crates?

A: Absolutely. Use Trending Crates as a starting point and then add/remove tracks like any other crate.
