What Drake is doing now is what Justin Bieber was doing in the last quarter of 2015. Week after week of Justin Bieber at #1 no matter what the sales statistics looked like, this is how things will be in the charts from now on like it or not. I wont be surprised if Drake replaces himself eventually at #1.

09. Just Like Fire (From "Alice Through the Looking Glass") - P!nk

13. Too Good (feat. Rihanna) - Drake

17. Sex - Cheat Codes x Kris Kross Amsterdam

27. Send My Love (To Your New Lover) - Adele

33. Into You - Ariana Grande

42. Hotter Than Hell - Dua Lipa

45. Don't Let Me Down (feat. Daya) - The Chainsmokers

53. There Will Be Time - Mumford & Sons & Baaba Maal

55. Up&Up - Coldplay

80. Company - Justin Bieber

90. We Don’t Talk Anymore (feat. Selena Gomez) - Charlie Puth

91. Say It (feat. Tove Lo) - Flume

Which is why I said it was like the mid 00s when dance and pop mixed together was everywhere. :)

 

Strange you call DJ Snake and the Sex song EDM I thought it was future bass

Although you didn't quoted me, let me answer that. I think you're mixing main genres with sub-genres. In my opinion future bass, trap is a sub-genre of EDM too.

Major Lazer have a song with Justin Bieber and MØ coming out in a few weeks so that will probably replace Drake from #1.

Its weird those bass drops in future bass do sound a lot like dubstep and the songs are slow like dubstep too.

 

On the subject of dubstep I also noticed the similarities between Alan Walker's Faded and Sub Focus's Tidal Wave. Even the singer sounds similar. :)

 

Perhaps dubstep isn't dead in the charts, at least the milder form of it.

Dubstep is a sub-genre of EDM. So does drum & bass too.

I tell you you're mixing the sub-genres with the main genres :D

I disagree, I don't think there are any sub-genres of EDM. I know it stands for 'electronic dance music' but the term EDM has taken on a different meaning now because of how the music press uses the term. EDM is generally considered as the cheesy commercial form of dance music started in America earlier this decade, stuff like Zedd, Cash Cash, AronChupa is proper EDM I thought. As was Neon Jungle, remember them? Trouble was the best song to use as an alarm clock ringtone ever, guaranteed to wake you up :w00t:

 

EDM is largely dead now, the last song to make the top 40 that I would consider being EDM was Dessert by Dawin (even that was mixed with trap) and that was hardly a huge hit here. Chainsmokers, DJ Snake etc. are future bass or trap i would say.

Oh sorry I don't want to hurt you so don't take it too personal, but you're really not familiar with the music genres.

 

EDM is the main genre for electronic music. Whilst AronChupa and Avicii for example are EDM but EDM is not just AronChupa and Avicii etc.

 

And whilst I don't always find Wikipedia accurate, EDM is very well defined there. And that is not my opinion, this is a fact what EDM is:

Future bass, trap, dubstep are all EDM, that's not a question of personal preferences.

Fair enough, but tech house like Riton's Rinse and Repeat is never really described as EDM as it is underground sounding, and EDM is seen as a more commercial term.

 

What about funky/disco house like the Clean Bandit record or the new Sigala and John Newman record, that is not even purely electronic dance music, it has strings and piano and for the Sigala track, Nile Rodgers guitar in it. What about the new Sigma track, also with strings. What about tropical house like the new Kungs track, it has saxophone in it.

 

My point is not all dance music can be described as EDM.

 

Anyway moving swiftly on because this is the iTunes thread, it is good the Sigma and Take That track I mentioned is holding up well on iTunes considering its poor streaming performance, hopefully it can make official top 40 this week.

Seriously, who cares about genres? Just enjoy the music!

"Moving swiftly on" that is quite ignorant ... (Plus let the mods do the moderation tasks) of course you can believe what you like, it is always hard to argue with someone who's a bit ill-informed and don't even want to understand others opinions or even facts.

EDM is not only commercial stuff it also contains underground genres:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elect...ic_music_genres

 

According to you for example if a hip hop song has classical instrument in it, is it not a hip hop song anymore?

If it's a dance song and is produced wholly or partly electronically then it is EDM, simple as.

Was waiting for you Dan, you're the EDM expert :D

No it would still be a hip hop song, but the use of the word 'electronic' in EDM is not always accurate for funky and tropical house and some drum and bass (Sigma, Rudimental), which use real instruments, although of course all house music and drum and bass has some elements of electronic music in it.

 

Probably the word EDM has been used wrongly by many people who refer to the cheesy, loud commercial stuff like the AronChupa track or the Chainsmokers #Selfie simply as EDM and the less commercial sounding stuff such Riton and Format:B as house

 

No I didn't mean to be ignorant, given that it is my fault we have diverged so much from iTunes not yours

No problem, a little off topic conversation is never a problem ;)

 

I guess you're right that people use the word EDM wrong for only commercial stuff. I myself am an EDM fan (but not all genres of it) so this annoys me a bit that people think EDM is only the commercial dance songs. :(

 

When I was a teenager I was watching a lot on MTV the Party Zone (2 hours of dance songs) and they were playing only electronic songs. But the variety of songs were really wide, from Prodigy to Snap, from Alice Deejay to Orbital there were everything :D

 

Nowadays the genres sometimes are really close to eachother. For example a couple of years ago a lot of urban artists were doing dance/pop songs with urban influence (Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Usher etc).

Pitbull for me is always a big questionmark. For me he is an urban artist, but his songs are very much pop/dance influenced songs :lol:

I don't call Pitbull an urban artist myself, all of his hit singles are dance-pop!

That's what I'm saying, but he's kinda rapping and that's what made me confused :lol:

That Will Grigg song is exactly what we need from the chart right now.

 

Fun, light-hearted and something completely different - love it.

how and why is that at #14 in the iTunes chart?

 

omg and it's basically the same song as 'Freed From Desire' too :lol:

Can't wait for the Pitbull & Leona collab this summer :dance:
