The feel good charm of “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” is like the Disney of dance music. this Brit-pop nugget was so squeaky clean and adorable that it made the duo of George Michael and Andrew Ridgely a stadium-sized headliner on their first American tour. Still, though, everyone from little kids to old ladies turn up this song when it comes on, hurling themselves at dance floors to do the jitterbug. — Holly Gleason While looking at trends across the years, we were also able to determine which decade boasts the most songs guaranteed to fill the dance floor.

In all of 11 steps even the most left-footed of dancers can fit in with the masses. In this case, the dance probably usurps the popularity of the song itself—a repetitive, moderate-tempo, clave-led dance hit. — Hilary Saunders To determine the best dance floor fillers, BonusFinder created a seed list of over 80 notable songs, compiled from reputable articles and Spotify playlists.

Cha Cha Slide – DJ Casper Well, lemme tell ya now: With that piano slide and a bassline that just can’t be beat, this one’s a shoe-in. We’ve never met a human being who will admit to disliking this song (that’s your cue to take to the comments section if you exist, you poor, misguided souls), and for good reason; no matter how many times we hear this one, it simply doesn’t get old. — Bonnie Stiernberg

Lusty without being raunchy, Michael tapped into the rhythms of sex and pushed his single into a place where coitus comes with a deeper attachment than the disco hit and run. As the song evolves, Michael’s supple tenor grips the melody like a bedpost and suggests an Elvis-esque desire. Needless to say, the stop-start arrangement—vocal forward and guitar cresting—was catnip for the gay clubs, high school dances, cruise ships and wedding planners. — Holly GleasonTempo refers to the speed or pace at which music is played, usually measured in beats per minute (BPM). A faster tempo leads to a lively dance floor, and as such, this factor was taken into consideration when studying the best party floor fillers.

Top Genres for the Ultimate Party Playlist ABBA started what I suppose is a long tradition of Swedish songwriters controlling the zeitgeist of American popular music. (Max Martin now has the most Billboard No 1 hits of anyone outside of The Beatles). In the spirit of pop music’s transient nature, most of ABBA’s songs have faded into the temporal tapestry…or rather, they’re now better known as show tunes, thanks to the astounding success of Mamma Mia! on Broadway. But “Dancing Queen” has endured, perhaps because everyone from Bobby Moynihan’s drunk uncle to your adorable six-year-old cousin can sing along to its chorus. There’s a swagger to the bass line, and the strings lead feels like it’s been etched into our culture by the violin bow. — Zach Blumenfeld
