It’s been a massive year for electronic dance music and the charts can prove it. Despite haters consistently attempting to put a nail in the proverbial coffin of EDM, all analytics, search trends, studies, and charts illustrate that the powerful acronym is here to stay.
In fact, EDM is only getting bigger.
The annual Billboard Hot 100 year-end chart has been released and electronic music is peppered from top to bottom.
