This week alone, there have been a lot of releases in dance music geared more toward the pop world. Releases from Zedd, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello & Ookay, and Calvin Harris brought in featured artists that bridged the gap between dance and pop, and now we’re going to be hearing a lot more dance music on mainstream radio because of it.
Features with Alessia Cara, Noah Cyrus, Migos & Frank Ocean, and not least of all Coldplay have left us with a lot of different choices for listening, and we couldn’t just pick one… so we asked our Twitter followers! With over 700 votes recorded, 32% of respondents said that their favorite mainstream EDM release of the week was “Slide” with Calvin Harris, Migos and Frank Ocean.
However, not far behind them was “Something Just Like This” by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay with 27% of the vote. Zedd and Marshmello & Ookay are in third and fourth place with 21% and 20% of the votes, respectively.
