Today our regular staff has been supercharged with the addition of Robyn. Her new album, Body Talk Pt. 1, is out now, and you should buy it. Robyn will be contributing throughout the day — show her a little love in your comments!
When we asked Robyn what she wanted to do as our guest editor, one of the first ideas she came back with was to share a playlist of her all-time favorite dance-centric music videos. Guess what we said? (YES). No surprise, our dancehall queen’s taste is impeccable, and her list encompasses some stone-cold pop, R&B and rock classics. Check below and let Robyn know which one surprised you the most.

LOVE Kate Bush. One of my favorite dance songs.

Damn, Michael is the ishy-ish. Did you hear him belt it out at the beginning and make that warehouse!! sound awesome. I was going to comment on the un-doctored genius of our past popstars, but the layer harmonies/chorus fx of him in the chorus prove that even Michael was gon tech. Can’t wait for Parts 2&3, and to see you perform in SF!!! If I’m dancing off beat just tell ‘em “This Must Be the Place” for it. (heehee)
