House music has been popular since the 1980s (it actually originated in the US). The first ever house song to go to #1 in the US was in 1990.
Selfie is no different to the stuff that PSY, LMFAO, Flo Rida, Pitbull do. If songs like Route 94 - My Love, Duke Dumont - Need U or Storm Queen - Look Right Through charted in the US, THAT would be impressive, since it's a type of music that hasn't had success in the US for a long time. The last proper house song I can think of that charted high on the Hot 100 was Days Go By by Dirty Vegas which was back in 2002.
