Huffington Post: David Guetta's 'Titanium' Closing In On Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Record

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 10:58 AM PDT

Dance music producer and DJ David Guetta is chasing down the late Michael Jackson's Thriller. The French Grammy-winner's track with Sia, "Titanium" (listen below), has charted on the Billboard Dance/Club list for 28 weeks, making it the longest-charting dance song in nearly three decades.

Thriller charted for 36 weeks in 1983, when the chart not only included singles but albums and/or song bundles. The longest-charting entry since the list started in 1976 is Kelly Marie's "Feels Like I'm In Love"/"Loving Just For Fun."

With tracks featuring Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Usher, Fergie, LMFAO and more, Guetta is at the forefront of European pop-house's takeover of American pop music, infecting many genres with club-ready electronic dance jams. If it's somewhat formulaic (songs generally include soaring vocals intercut with stabby synths and four-on-the-floor basslines that drop out before massive "breakdowns"), pop music fans don't seem to mind. Rihanna ("Where Have You Been"), Minaj ("Starships"), Justin Bieber (multiple tracks off Believe, out in stores Tuesday), Usher ("Scream," "Climax") and countless other pop/hip hop/R&B stars have flocked to the genre as it continues to dominate radio and club rotations.
