Current Trends In the Charts

As shown in the picture above, there is a variety of different genres that are in the charts, but from present knowledge, dance music has not always been popular with the UK Top 40 mainstream songs. So this shows that dance music is making an appearance and becoming more and more popular in the music industry. Our song does include a genre of dance, as the song is the type of song that would be played in a club and people would be able to dance to it due to the up tempo beat and fast pace backing track.
However, arguably pop is the most dominant music genre that is in the charts, and this supports our decision on our genre of song which is ElectroPop/Dance. Our song does not have a genre of Pop, it is Electro Pop which is different due to the sound of the track that plays. Therefore this is a sub genre for the genre pop, but it is something different therefore it is bringing something alternate into the charts. With Dance becoming more and more popular, and Pop being the most common, and Electo Pop has not been introduced into the current chart show, shows that there is a gap in the market for this genre of song and shows that our music video/song can be successful in the Top 40 UK ChartShow.
