Lana Del Rey, “ Summertime Sadness” (Cedric Gervais Remix) (2013) Five years later, its build-up, undulating low end tones and face-slapping drop - punctuated by a chorus consisting solely of “okay” - is still heard at least once at any given American music festival. Five years later and it’s not unusual to hear those on the dancefloor attempting to sing along to the melody or ask, “What’s that one song that goes ‘ dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga doom…doom-doom?’” Those in the know always knows the answer. One of the most unforgettable basslines of the decade, Shiba San’s “Okay” rumbled through the dance world upon its 2014, helping establish the signature quirky, bouncy, bass-y Dirtybird sound. The drops might not have been able to compete with Skrillex bass bombs at EDC, but the tension that builds up with each revving of the bass makes the title hook a surprisingly satisfying shout-along.

With mainstream dance music sounding as thick and aggro as it had been in decades, Brooklyn DJ Chris Malinchak owned the summer of 2013 - overseas, anyway - with the subtle and impossibly sweet floor-filler “So Good to Me.” Built around a warm synth blanket and brilliantly deployed vocal samples from the classic Marvin Gaye and Tami Terrell duet “If This World Were Mine,” the song is as sublime as any originally composed love song of the ’10s, with a pulsing beat you can actually feel the blood pumping through. Read our list below, and find a Spotify playlist of all 60 at the bottom.Ħ0. Here, Billboard Dance presents the 60 dance tracks that most defined the decade. With the spectrum of the genre thus continuously widening, the scene’s countless artists, parties, festivals, labels, songs and genres could sometimes seem disparate, but altogether these pieces added up to nothing less than a dance dance revolution that generated excitement, money, power struggles, controversy, joy and which ultimately - and most importantly - made millions of us dance our asses off.
