Ballroom dance songs?

So, I do ballroom dance competitively, and I'm looking for songs (especially popular ones that I can easily find to download) for practicing. So far, I'm basing my list off what I hear at competitions, and I have:

Waltz:

-Greensleeves

Foxtrot:

-Beyond the Sea

Viennese Waltz:

-Only Hope (Mandy Moore version)

Quickstep:

-Istanbul not Constantinople

-70's Spiderman theme (I'm not kidding, this stuff really does get played at competitions)

Cha-Cha:

-Mambo Italiano (a recent version)

Swing:

-I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry

Jive:

-Candyman - Christina Aguilera

-Mambo Italiano (original version)

I'm looking for more songs for all of these, plus tango, rumba (both kinds), and anything else. I also heard 'Disturbia' by Rihanna at a competiton once, but I can't remember what dance it was for.

Update:

I now also have:

Money, Money, Money - ABBA (tango)

Temptation - Arash (cha-cha?)

Hound Dog - Elvis Presley (jive)

Fly Me To The Moon - Frank Sinatra (foxtrot)

Secret - Michael Buble

Sway - Micheal Buble (I think this version is cha-cha)

Come So Far - Hairspray (jive)

Smooth - Santana (cha-cha)

    I'd say Disturbia was used for Cha Cha

    I would recommend:

    Waltz:

    Foxtrot: Fever by Buble

    Viennese Waltz: Carousel Waltz

    Tango: Money Money Money by Abba

    Quickstep: Mark Sholtez - Not what I'll Be Missing

    Rumba: Secret - Maroon 5; Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps (from Strictly Ballroom)

    Jive: Reach - S Club 7 (also used at competitions); Come So Far - Hairspray

    That's about all off the top of my head. I'll reply when i have thought of more (and whetever they play at dancing tonight)
