Could someone put the Electronica template on this page? 2601:C7:C201:C640:F47E:5B35:8067:73AA (talk) 20:38, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Template:Electronica is for developments in electronic music. Dance-pop is more of an offshoot hybrid. There's enough navboxes, and Template:Electronic music top is here too. ◢ Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 14:59, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Correct the internal link for Catatonia (under History - 1990's) It currently links to the medical issue, instead of the Welsh band. The correct page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catatonia_(band) VeraJunior (talk) 21:07, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I am out of touch rather than this article

As a huge dance music fan, including what I thought was pop dance from the 1990s, this article doesn't reflect any of what I thought this was. All the artists mentioned, to me, are pure pop music rather than dance. In fact I don't even know the music of some of them. However, I think the problem is with me rather than this article. It seems what I thought was pop dance because it was dance music in the Top 40 pop chart, actually most of what I like was either there for two or three weeks, at either low end never hardly in the Top 20. Or else it was suffering huge drops in sales after its first week highest position and not a lot of Top 10. There were some what I would have called pop dance records that reached Top 10 but it seems all of what I thought this was were all lower on radio airplay than sales and the mainstream radio, including all daytime radio (outside of the plays on the Top 40), was and is in a different world of pop dance. All the artists mentioned for the 1990s are the pop music and not the dance to me (the latter often either low number of weeks in the Top 40 or not Top 40 at all).

Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy has not even got any bearing on house music for me, a fan it seems of house music that is either one week at number 37 or at best one week at 19 and then 37, or not charting in the Top 40, and myself living it seems under a total rock of underground music that I have wrongly thought a lot of it was pop music due to it having been in the Top 40 chart, I am surprised to find out it is considered to have any relation to house music. Deeper and Deeper from Madonna just about qualifies, as general dance music rather than house, due to the remixer, whilst as for Shanice's I Love Your Smile, that, to me, is pop music and has no bearing on new jack swing that it seems was number 33 for one week in the Top 40 instead of pop! However, as mentioned, whilst, to me, pop dance is the full range of Haddaway (rather than just What Is Love that was his big Top 10 hit), is music such as Capella, Maxx, Alex Party, etc., I forget they are either considered one hits or else didn't really do well in the charts as radio songs instead now seem to have been club hits making the charts on the basis of sales to specialist club deejays.

Therefore whilst numerous parts of this article come as a surprise to this supposedly pop dance fan, it turns out I actually like dance music instead, that isn't pop dance I thought despite it charting but actually lost on the mainstream with not much daytime radio play (probably just the Top 40 chart and not there for 10 weeks on end unlike these pop music artists that clearly Wikipedia writers at large, rather than myself, are in touch with and know what is considered by pop fans to be dance pop even if this dance fan hasn't realised how far under a rock I am). I thought I liked pop music but it seems it turns out I like a lot of specialist music hitting the pop charts instead but not really making much impact on the mainstream and only being known to myself and the other fans of the artists, none of whom are mentioned here. I didn't, and don't, even consider Sasha's remix of Ray of Light to be a dance record. It was one of the songs I switched off the so-called dance station. Instead to me, this remix is pop music but there are dance versions that aren't the pop version that is referred to whilst practically everything else by Sasha, and that wasn't a major hit, is a dance record.

I am such under a rock though - the article isn't at fault for being 'wrong' instead it is just not my dance pop and my dance that I thought was pop wasn't really that pop even though it was in the pop charts but not actually selling for months on end and in any event with little radio play outside of the chart itself and the specialist shows that I thought were pop but are actually evenings and not listened to across the mainstream audience that is elsewhere at that time of day. aspaa 17:51, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or - second thoughts - is this article biased by being written from a United States perspective? This therefore might not include big potential pop dance successes in the UK such as Whigfield or N-Trance or some eurodance pop acts that may have been popular in other parts of Europe. Pop music is also localised and maybe the 'dance pop' perceived by this article represents a United States bias that doesn't reflect what may have been the case in significant music markets such as the UK - or even the world in total. What about African pop music, or Chinese pop or Indian pop? Where are dance pop artists from these parts of the world and non-Western culture reflected in this article, even though I am sure Madonna and Taylor Swift are worldwide phenomena, nonetheless they are both North American. aspaa 22:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
