Top Dance Songs of 2017 Volume 3

As we conclude our journey through the Top Dance Songs of 2017, let’s take a moment to delve deeper into this comprehensive series. For those unfamiliar, each year, Party Favorz curates a collection of what we believe to be the most pivotal dance music tunes. We focus on songs that hold significance in the evolving landscape of dance music, both within mainstream pop culture and the vibrant underground dance music scene. These are the tracks that have been championed by the most influential DJs, from professional pioneers to ambitious amateurs, who have left indelible marks on the electronic dance music landscape.

The Top Dance Songs of the Year series took root in 2007, coinciding with the launch of this blog. However, our passion for dance music drove us to delve even further into the past, leading to the creation of compilations dating back an additional decade. Each annual collection, comprising 3-5 comprehensive sets, is a time capsule of the dance music trends and hits of that year. We strongly advise storing the compilations that best mirror your personal dance music journey. In 10 – 20 years, these collections could serve as invaluable musical memoirs of your past.

Our expansive content library here at Party Favorz occasionally prompts us to randomly revisit older material from our current Top 20. As a morning person, I recently queued up Top Dance Songs of 2014 Volume 1 on a car drive, allowing the rhythms of the past to accompany my wait for the day’s news shows. The trip down memory lane was a delightful reminder of how enduring these tracks truly are. Whether you follow this suggestion or not is entirely your choice but you can thank me later.

Currently, I am refining our ultimate year-end New Year dance party mix, Blow Your Own Horn, to ensure it hits all the right notes. With three different versions already in the works, the final output may well be a fusion of the best elements from each. Anticipate an early release, allowing me some respite to regain a sense of normality as the year draws to a close.

The exploration of the Top Dance Songs of 2017 seems to have resonated with you, as reflected in the encouraging response we’ve received. We’ll be back in a week or so with the final dance music extravaganza of the year.

Until then… ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2017 Volume 2

Drown yourself in the vibrant club sounds of 2017 as we delve into the Top Dance Songs of 2017. Despite any prior skepticism about the dance music landscape this year, it brought to the forefront an array of musical masterpieces. Many songs, predominantly from the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) genre, were beautifully transformed by remixes that elevated their original’s charm, expanding their reach and longevity in the dance music arena. Standout examples include Dua Lipa’s “Be the One,” Rihanna’s “Love On the Brain,” and the superb collaboration of Flume and Tove Lo’s “Say It,” alongside a personal favorite, “Issues” by Julia Michaels.

2017 introduced us to a wave of promising new artists contributing to the Top Dance Songs of 2017, their longevity and impact yet to be fully assessed. At the forefront was Dua Lipa, who soared to stardom backed by Warner Brothers, becoming an absolute sensation with her stunning looks, captivating vocals, and compelling lyrics. Similarly, Julia Michaels showed immense promise, especially with her standout track “Issues,” potentially giving the likes of Ellie Goulding serious competition in the future.

Other artists who proved their mettle outside their multi-platinum bands were Niall Horan, with hits like “This Town,” “Slow Hands” and Camila Cabello, with tracks “Crying in the Club,” “Havana”. However, for debut artists like Cardi B. (“Bodak Yellow”) and Luis Fonsi (“Despacito“), whose first singles were chartbusters, maintaining that level of success could prove challenging.

We also extend our hearty applause to Kesha, who with the release of her album “Rainbow”, apart from Dr. Luke, demonstrated her raw talent and versatility as an artist. Her Grammy nominations for Best Pop Solo Album and Best Pop Solo Performance are well-deserved.

There’s so much to cover when discussing the Top Dance Songs of 2017, but to avoid overloading you with information, we’ll reserve more insights for our next installment. Stay tuned for the third part of the Top Dance Songs of 2017 coming this Friday.

Until then…ENJOY!
