^^^^ Just more Pop/Rap & Rock fodder discuising itself as Dance. Probably only about 5 songs on the entire list that someone could actually dance to. Here's our USA Dance Mix Top 80 Dance-Disco-House chart for 2017. This is the REAL Dance music: You probably have not heard of most, you just don't know what you've been missing. http://usa-dance.net/New_Millennium_Year_End_Charts.html#2016TOP80

P.S. most of the songs on the list can be found on YouTube, a few others are only on Traxsource.com (but you can hear them daily on the station).

I agree to a degree about the list; however, that's subjective. I know what I haven't been missing. Dance music and all that encompasses it means different things to different people. For example, I could easily say your retro lists are lackluster because they are too vanilla and poppy for my tastes, but that would be wrong of me.

It's definitely a horrible list....very little Dance about it. But hey that's always been the case with USA Billboard....politics.

^^^ still a bit too Pop, Rockish & EDM for my tastes............a big mess as far as I'm concerned.

Yes it's a weekly mainstream show aired on the FM, yet still most titles are ignored by Top40 stations.

As far as my web station (which I think you assumed plays the above), it's a totally different sound of Indie Dance, Beach House, UK stuff. We try to focus on 15 years normal rotations. Flashbacks on specialty shows...never going beyond the 80s, which even then is rare.
