I'm not talking Billboard, I'm talking worldwide, I don't see anywhere in the article or in the comment I replied to specifying the American music market only.  Dance took over pop everywhere else in the world a long time before it took over America.

Don't give a fuck, seeing this tonight.  I am an unabashed fan of the first movie and of most of the games (well, everything up to 4) and will have a fucking blast.

"Bestie" is the same deal - it's not a new term, just - apparently - new to this generation.
