Lol no. Gaga and Kesha did.

Anyway no one in particular set the trend,it was initiated by some artists; nelly furtado,J.T,Rihanna and the likes and later even more popularized by the acts that did it later;lady gaga,kesha, B.E.P and the likes.

If you mean it that way, Madonna was the first. lmao

CURRENT CURRENT CURRENT
of course dance pop existed before Rihanna but I'm talking about the past 10 years

I think he had this century as a time frame when he made that comment.

.
How do you define danc music anyways

Gaga and Kesha at least started euro/electropop

no

So the music industry waited two years and then crafted itself after one of her songs that wasn't even the most successful of the era? Navy logic. That was when she broke through in a big way and I'll give her credit for that, but the most impactful things that era were Umbrella and her haircut.

I love her, I do, but don't give her credit for starting a movement when the album she released right when it picked up (Rated R) didn't have any dance pop singles.

Whoever said it was a whole collection of artists is probably the most correct. It was like everyone jumped on the bandwagon at the same time. Including your girl.

Rih must have liked the idea, seeing as she had to step up her fashion game after Gaga came out

No the girls gotta catch up, like GaGa needs to get urban or get left behind. She better call Akon.

But seriously are you people going to Ignore how big a hit DSTM was?
Why is it difficult to give credit where it's due?
Neither kesha nor lady gaga caused the dancepop trend that began from 2006,it's like some of you began existing after 2008.

GaGa came out during Rated R.

The peak before this years slayage. Come now...

I'm sorry but Rihanna never resorted to wearing food or stuffed animals

The point is you people are making it seem like they were no big successful dancepop songs before Gaga,it's like dancepop songs began hitting after her which is NOT true.

We get it, DSTM was a hit and yet it did help the dance-pop industry.. But it wasn't some sort of holy scripture

No, but she did take notes

Find one.

But I think B.E.P. started the trend tbh. Rihanna was an early adopter though.

And no one is claiming it is. The point as I have stated is that dancepop was already starting to make waves before Gaga and I do realize that it blew up after Gaga's debut but that does not make Gaga responsible for it.
