Billboard has announced its hottest 100 songs of 2017 and as expected, it is littered with dance music. The music charting company has been doing this for decades, and their lists have been trusted as one of the strongest sources to rate artists, although many say it is not a true representation of the public’s opinion. Sitting at #1 is no surprise, Ed Sheeran with his song “Shape of You.” His music has become so popular that many dance music DJs are remixing his songs including Gareth Emery with his remix of “Castle on the Hill”. What many thought to be the biggest hit of the year, “Despacito” comes in a close second place, followed by songs by Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar and everyone’s favorite “Something Just Like This” by The Chainsmokers.
Zedd holds the #17 spot with his song “Stay,” and after that “Starboy” by The Weeknd and Daft Punk ranks #20, and they made it onto the chart again at #34 with their collaboration “I Feel it Coming”. The Chainsmokers also make another appearance at #42 with their song “Paris.” Overall the list was dominated by Rap and Pop artists but as the music world progresses we have begun to see more and more dance music producers hit the mainstream, leading to DJs appearing more often on the Billboard list. Check out the full list below.
