[Introvert 0]

didn't you read my posts in your thread?

 

i'll give you a timeline for those that don't know

 

dance music was incredibly popular in the 80's

 

in the 90's madonna was the first pop star to dabble in a more electronic sound with ray of light and cher was the first to dabble in autotune with believe

 

then daft punk started blowing up with their house sound in the early 2000's with discovery. this became a very popular sound in europe.

 

madonna continued having more electro beats in her songs with music and kylie minogue had an electro pop hit with can't get you outta my head in 2002

 

britney's spears album in 2003 in the zone had a mix of r&b and electropop songs. toxic would become one of her biggest hits.

 

in the second half of the 2000's madonna retuned back to her dance roots with her album confessions on a dance floor with hung up being a global smash in 05.

 

in 2006 timbaland made a comeback and and had a dance/urban sound with nelly furtado's loose and justin timberlake's futures-x/lovesounds

 

in 2007 britney spears released her "comeback" album blackout with a more darker approach in electro pop music and dabbled in dubstep. dubstep would later become more popular by rihanna on her album raterd r and skrillex.

 

kanye west also sampled daft punk on his song stronger, who were already popular at this time but would blow up even more by it;s popularity. more rappers began to sample electronic beats after this.

 

neyo's song closer who was already making r&b released a song closer that would had a electro sound to it. this song would pioneer the popularity of dance beats in r&b music.

 

in 2008 m.i.a.'s (who was already making electronic music) song paper planes became a huge hit thanks to pineapple express.

 

madonna and janet continued making more electro-pop songs.

 

rihanna had songs like sos going #1 in 2006, then don't stop the music and disturbia became huge hits in 2007/2008. she would continue doing more dance songs throughout the 2010's

 

britney spears in 2008 worked with an underground producer the outsyders who produced her dance-pop song womanizer. dr. luke produced a souple songs shattered glass which would be a similar sound kesha and katy perry would have by him.

 

david guetta's s-xy b---h was a huge hit on the dance charts and dj's would become more popular after him. but it was his song with the black eyed peas boom boom pow and i gotta feeling that exploded his sound to the mainstream

 

lady gaga's song just dance became a sleeper hit in 2008 but would go #1 in 2009 along with her other fame singles. poker face, bad romance, and telephone along with her other singles would go top ten on the billboard charts.

 

kylie* was the first pop star to dabble in electronic sounds actually. sarah mclachlan made an entire album that sounded like ray of light before madonna did. shes just as overrated in terms of her influence as gaga is.

Blackout was Urban meets Dance completely.

Before that album, the music scene was mostly Urban influenced. After that album, the industry was predominantly dance.

It was the ultimate bridge between the 2 genres. It captured the sound of the past and pioneered the sound of the future. It was extremely influential.

aka, the transition i was talking about... which was not that difficult considering urban is not that different from current dance-pop

 

radio was transitionaint and going that direction already...

 

Gaga enforced it in to mainstream, but she did not commence the trend

and neither did britney and thats my point. you both are acting like she actually had some sort of significant influence on the current pop landscape in terms of dance music.

 

and can you stop bringing up gaga i havent even mentioned her. you know nothing of my position on what shes done for dance music.

 

how i think shes a trendsetter is in regards to extravagance. she made being excessive a standard for a brief period of time because of her immense success the other pop stars dabbled in blatantly excessive concepts to see if it would work for them as well and it did for awhile. gaga did strongly perpetuate blatant electro pop on the radio because previously that **** would not get airplay with the exception of maybe 3 or 4 random hits that broke through. no one should actually say she single handedly created a dance/pop movement but her popularity sure did help. britney didnt single handedly commence a dance/pop movement with blackout either. artists in the 70s and the 80s did if you want to really talk about how far electronic music has come

sarah mclachlan was huge in the u.s.

and in actuality madonna was just latching onto where music was going at the time as well. she didnt commence any trends either but she gets credited as such because people like to romanticize her.

@Klou I thingk Gaga was lucky... Radio was obviously going that direction already, so ppl were starting to like that type of music... then u have a new artist whos all about that and ppl will like her music...

 

Gaga would NEVER had had the success she did without those past artists that were beginning to pave dance-music for radio before she came along!

I don't know how old you are, but ever since I've been listening to pop radio in the 90's there's always been at least some dance tracks on the radio, but I did not see it become a regular thing until late 2009. The fact Britney, Madonna, and some other artists were doing dance tracks  was no different from what other artists had been doing for years before.

 

The only thing I would be willing to debate would be that the BEP were as instrumental as Gaga in converting mainstream to the dance. There was no other artist that had that sort of MASSIVE success with dance tracks worldwide than those two. That turned everyone's eyes into dollar signs. Next thing we know we have rap artists doing dance.

Madonna,Gaga,BEP.

Madonna with Confessions.

Gaga with The Fame.

and BEP with Boom Boom Pow and I got a feeling.

 Ok, I made this thread because the other one was started to head in the direction of this and people were starting to forget about the topic of the other. But the fact, that you are able to count the times electronic dance music songs became hits, only tells me that dance music was not popular until the late 2000s. For example, try to count the amount of dance electronic hits during this times and you will probably mention most of the songs.

the electronic sound in dance-pop didn't become popular till the late 2000's yes. but the urben-dance sound is what made that more popular on the charts.

Madonna,Gaga,BEP.

Madonna with Confessions.

Gaga with The Fame.

and BEP with Boom Boom Pow and I got a feeling.

 

kylie minogue with fever, body, language, light years, and x

[Jjang 2,262]

I believe Kylie Minogue was truly one of the first people.

But it was either Britney,Madonna Gaga or BEP or even in some cases David Guetta who made it popular.

urban was dominant and in order for dance to take hold radio had to make the transition from urban to dance so naturally there was an urban dance sound but i think that was solely just to make the transition.

yeah, britney spears always mixed electronic and urban songs on her albums. timbaland and justin timberlake was doing that sound in 2006. kanye west and ne-yo were the first to have those beats on their songs on the charts for r&b and hip hop. until eventually the black eyed peas would go pure techno and lady gaga went with the synth pop 80's sound in her songs. even rihanna had a couple chosen dance songs.

david gaga bep yes madonna with confessions? okay. sure. but kylie definitely moreso than she imo because i think with confessions madonna took a bite out of kylie aesthetically. kylie's 1-555-confide for confide in me which not so surprisingly sounds like it could've fit on madonnas record. but this could be considered picking hairs im just saying, confessions wasn't groundbreaking or anything.
