To select a song, the player must browse through the song list of the game using a song selection screen. Throughout the various versions of the game, the song selection interface received four major overhauls. The first version was in DanceDanceRevolution up to DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX: a jukebox-like interface was used. A second one was used in DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX up to DanceDanceRevolution X, the game used its most well-known iteration: a vertical song wheel since 5thMIX or an horizontal song wheel on 4thMIX. Since DanceDanceRevolution X2, the songs are chosen from left to right in a Cover Flow-style interface. DanceDanceRevolution(2014) keeps the album covers, but switches to 4thMIX' horizontal song wheel. DanceDanceRevolution A keeps the album covers, but switches to a [[SOUND VOLTEX Information|SOUND VOLTEX]]-esque selection interface, with songs selected in diagonally-slanted rows of three covers each.

Usually, the Song Selection Screen shows for each song its banner, the ratings and difficulties available for that song, its BPM, and any previous high score by the player. In DanceDanceRevolution X2, the series' long-time traditional banners were replaced by album jackets.
