Dance Central Song Update - 19 april 2011

Dance Central is getting a couple fistfuls of DLC Additions this week. The cost is still a steep $3 or 240 MPS per song which seems like a lot but then again, a lot of work goes into prepping the songs including the licensing fees and the gameplay setup (choreography, etc), plus they need to turn a little profit to keep the ball rolling and license and prep more tracks.

The classic 80s rap song “Wild Thing” from Tone Lōc will be coming to Dance Central beginning April 19. The song, from the rapper’s 1988 album Lōc-ed After Dark, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
 
Atlanta rappers Dem Franchize Boyz will make their Dance Central debut tomorrow with “Lean wit It, Rock wit It” from their album On Top of Our Game. The song peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Hot Rap Tracks and helped spread the subgenre of snap music and snap dancing.
 
French electronic music duo Justice will bring their hit “D.A.N.C.E.” to Dance Central tomorrow as well. The song is the second single from their GRAMMY Award-nominated debut album, †.
