What Are the Songs Driving People to Dance, Even if they are Alone?

Three in five Americans are boosting their moods after so much time at home with indoor dance parties and karaoke sessions, according to a new poll.

Two in five have even embraced viral trends and learned a new dance, while 38% have thrown a party with friends via video chat. 

The study of 2,000 Americans examined the important role music has played in light of current events.

When asked what songs respondents want on their socially distanced dance party playlist, current hits like “Rain on Me” from Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa, “Say So” from Doja Cat and “Hot Girl Summer” by Megan Thee Stallion were mixed in with classics like “September” from Earth Wind and Fire and “Hey Ya!” by Outkast.”

And when asked about the best dance songs of all time, Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” came out on top of a predetermined list of dance favorites. 

“Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson and “Stayin’ Alive” from The Bee Gees also made it into the top three. 

Four in five (79%) cited music as a way to help them stay connected with others while social distancing.

The survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Ultimate Ears found when it came to the genres that lifted respondents’ spirits the most, hip hop came out on top with 50%. 

Rock (47%), pop (45%), country (42%) and dance/electronic music (31%) rounded out the top five mood-boosting genres.
