Hottest Dance Songs Of May 2008

When I initially ran the numbers to see who was going to be #1, I came up with the result of Akon and Michael Jackson beating out Madonna and Justin... but I was wrong! I ran the numbers again after friends shared their thoughts of my findings and it turns out that Madonna and Justin ARE #1 for the month. I think I had just transposed some numbers here and there in my initial calculations. While I do like the Akon and Michael Jackson update of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," I would not have picked it to be the winner over "4 Minutes" by Madonna and Justin. So, with that being said, the chart has been changed to reflect the recent discovery.

In regards to my predictions for last month... what the hell was I smoking when I made those? To recap, here is what I predicted and the result.

1. I said that Kat DeLuna's "Run The Show" would be #1... sadly, it fell to #8 for the month.
2. I said that Ralph Falcon's "Break You" would be #2... it dropped 12 spots!
3. I said that Erin Hamilton's "The Flame" would be #3... it dropped off the chart entirely.
4. I said that Shirley Bassey's "Get This Party Started" would be #4... it also fell out of the chart completely.

Ick. I didn't do well at all with those. So, with better calculating, here are my predictions for June.

1. "4 Minutes" will be #1.
2. "Rock With U" by Janet will debut.
3. "Bleeding Love" will be in the Top 5.
4. "Stamp Your Feet" by Donna Summer will debut.

Here are the songs that dropped out of the Top 25 this month.

Erin Hamilton - The Flame
Shirley Bassey - Get The Party Started
Colette - If
Janet Jackson - Feedback
Robyn - With Every Heartbeat
Taylor Dayne - Beautiful
Kristine W. - The Boss
La Lupe - Besito Pa Ti
Ron Perkov - I Get Off
Idina Menzel - Gorgeous
Groove Armada - Love Sweet Sound
X-Press 2 - Give It
