David Guetta Movie

Flat out tight as __. Remember back in the days of hearing those awesome Guetta jams on the old XM BPM? At that time we would have only dreamed of this kind of stupendous result for dance music!

I'm not necessarily complaining, but back then he didn't have songs with Nicki Minaj or Usher either. I applaud what he has done to bring in a new audience, but let's be real, the music is not what it once was.

It may not necessarily be what it once was but if things are going in the direction they are in and, in the process, are attracting a new audience over to our side then yeah we have to be supportive of this, love or hate the guy.

Things are really BOOMING for us. Just a matter of time for FM stations to flip formats towards a dance/rhythmic slant. The cycle is certainly favoring this.

I also think it's just a matter of time...2012?

This has to happen one would think. Already, certain Mainstream CHRs in markets of all sizes are sounding "dance-leaning" if you were to arrive in 2011 in a time machine from the mid 2000s and not be "desensitized" to the 'mainstreaming' of the uptempo pop sound by the popular artists of the day. It would not be surprising if stations reminiscent of the old 95.3 Party/Orlando playing no pop/rock and only dance and rhythmic tracks were to start showing up in the U.S soon (with a MUCH heavier lean on Dance than 95.3 Party was seeing as this station was around when hip-hop was massive....maybe the new stations would be 75% uptempo/dance and 25% rhythmic/hip-hop). This could open the floodgates to the artists we on this board have been getting behind for all these years. Best case scenario, it could finally turn Dance Hits into a viable format, hopefully nationwide.

I'm hoping so.

But at the same time, if this is going to REALLY work out for us, then we cannot "diss" the mainstream rhythmic artists for going the dance music route. If anything we have to EMBRACE them because if they can open the doors for our dance-branded artists, then everyone benefits. People are still going to "bitch" about this (I've seen it on the FB Sirius/XM BPM board by some that don't "get" the radio aspect of things) but for now, we have to be open :)
