Criteria: The songs here are based on popularity and impact. Songs that were released in 1989 ("Pump Up the Jam," "Move This," "Get Up! Before the Night is Over," "Love Shack," "The Humpty Dance," "Love Will Never Do (Without You)," "All Around the World," "Express Yourself," and "Ride on Time") do not count here.
NOTE: Dance music is not always your typical 4/4 rhythm. Dance music is found in all forms of popular music, be it through swing, ragtime, jump blues, and rock. The first real dance music in American history was ragtime, and in the 1980s, dance music peaked pop-wise. These songs represent the greatest electronic dance and jam (dance-based pop-rock) songs of the 1990s.
