The list below ranks 20 recently released Dance Pop songs in descending order of engagement over the last 30 days.
1 . RoseÌ, Bruno Mars - Apt.Details 
  “Apt.” pairs Rosé with Bruno Mars in an irresistibly sleek showdown, blending glossy electropop with scrappy pop-punk hues. Bruno’s signature retro flourishes intersect with Rosé’s indie-tinged brilliance, creating a tug-of-war between seductive basslines and airy guitar riffs. The song’s playful nod to a Korean drinking chant adds cultural depth, catching listeners off-guard with its infectious familiarity. Interpolating Toni Basil’s 1982 banger “Mickey,” the track spins nostalgia into something sharp-edged and kinetic, demolishing genre boundaries as easily as knocking back soju shots. The production lineup—Bruno himself, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, and Rogét Chahayed—constructs a tightly layered soundscape that’s strangely chaotic yet perfectly cohesive. Rosé’s breathy delivery teases, while Bruno leans into a swagger that feels both effortless and meticulously performed. Commercially, it wrangles massive streams and downloads right out of the gate, speaking to its crossover pull. The YouTube video amplifies the song’s playful tension, with a flirtatious visual narrative served in neon-drenched nonchalance. But beneath its flirtation and sass lies a self-awareness—Bruno’s veteran polish meets Rosé’s calculated freshness in an unlikely, electric collaboration.

17 . The Black Eyed Peas - Ritmo (Bad Boys For Life)Details
 “Ritmo (Bad Boys For Life)” fuses the Black Eyed Peas’ electronic impulses with J Balvin’s reggaeton cadence, reworking Corona’s 1993 “The Rhythm of the Night” into a glossy club track with a Latin twist. Released in October 2019 by Epic Records, it serves as the flagship single for the *Bad Boys for Life* soundtrack, conveniently aligning with the franchise’s nostalgia-heavy branding. Will.i.am retools the original into a sparse, Afro-influenced arrangement, trading bombast for repetition and bass. Though early remix plans reportedly involved Jennifer Lopez, the spotlight shifts to Jaden Smith, whose cameo nods both to family ties and Hollywood synergy. The video leans heavily on ‘90s pastiche—neon-soaked Miami visuals and retro stylings that echo the film’s aesthetic rather than distract from it.

19 . Zara Larsson - Midnight SunDetails
 “Midnight Sun” captures the not-quite-darkness of Swedish summer nights, where the sky refuses to go black and everything feels slightly possible. Produced by MNEK and Margo XS, it leans into trance-laced pop with just enough shimmer to suggest skinny-dipping isn’t out of the question. Larsson keeps things loose and momentary, pairing fleeting connection with a tonal palette that stretches between presence and euphoria. It’s the emotional pivot of her fifth album, a nod to heritage filtered through synths and spontaneity rather than nostalgia or tradition. Long since the Talang stage and somewhere past “Lush Life” and “Never Forget You,” she swerves here toward a kind of romantic impasse: light, temporary, and wide awake. Genres : pop, scandipop, swedish electropop, swedish pop

20 . Dua Lipa - Break My HeartDetails
 “Break My Heart” leans into retro-futurist sheen, crossing disco-funk with synth-soaked dance-pop and an unmistakable Europop pulse. Built around a prominent sample from INXS’s “Need You Tonight,” it spins a tug-of-war narrative between the thrill of attraction and the dread of regret. Dua Lipa calls this collision of emotions “dance crying,” which seems about right when heartbreak gets a beat this catchy. The track reaches Platinum in the UK and US, propped up by a voice distinct enough to cut through the noise. Dua Lipa, British-Albanian, threads house flashbacks and 1980s textures into a pop catalogue that doesn’t exactly shy from a chart position or two. Genres : Pop,dance pop, pop, uk pop The music video is directed by Henry Scholfield
