#10: “Don't Go Yet” (2021) by Camila Cabello

“Just Dance 2022” (2021) It's practically impossible to hear this Camila Cabello track and not immediately start dancing along. Luckily, the "Just Dance" creators also thought so when they included it in their 2022 edition. You might even recognize some of the moves since they take inspiration from the music video. Just be sure to warm up those hips because you'll be using them a lot! It's not too difficult or out there, but everything about it screams feel-good and fun times. We already knew this song was a bop, but the colorful scenes and first-rate choreography make it feel like a party, whether dancing alone or in a quartet.

#9: “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” (2018) by Blackpink

“Just Dance 2019” (2018) Ever dreamt of being in a K-Pop girl group? Well, now you can! Well, kind of. “Just Dance 2019” helped us imagine ourselves as the additional members of Blackpink with this super entertaining routine. We can totally envision ourselves in some of the world’s biggest arenas, riling up audiences with this dynamic choreography. To be honest, we still feel pretty badass dancing with our friends in our living rooms at home. The routine really nails everything we love about this girl group. Still not had your Blackpink fill? Gather your fiercest friends and enjoy a K-pop encore with “Just Dance 2020’s” “Kill This Love.”

#8: “Problem” (2014) by Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea & Big Sean

“Just Dance 2015” (2014) In 2014, you could barely go anywhere without hearing this catchy tune. Not that we’re complaining, of course. That’s why it was a very welcome addition to “Just Dance 2015.” It’s nothing complicated, but each move feels like you’re just grooving out, vibing the music, and having the best time. That isn’t to say that you don’t need high energy levels, as you’re hitting pretty much every beat. Plus, that gold move during Iggy Azalea’s verse requires all the sass and attitude you can muster. Our only problem is whether to play it for the umpteenth time or move on to another “Just Dance” bop.

#7: “Never Gonna Give You Up” (1987) by Rick Astley

“Just Dance 4” (2012) When the character on your screen is dressed as a superhero, you just know you're in for a good time. Indeed, this number does not disappoint. It's uptempo, energetic, groovy, and super fun, not to mention the story unfolding in the background is pure chaos. But the combination of the famous tune and lively choreography makes this one of the game's most amusing and enjoyable numbers. We practically Rickroll ourselves with the amount of times we return to it. This routine will "never let you down," and we're "Never Gonna Give" up dancing our socks off to it. Just don't try flying off at the end, even if you've got five stars.

#6: “California Gurls” (2010) by Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg

“Just Dance 3” (2011) Katy Perry's discography has provided countless enjoyable dances since the franchise's inception. For instance, we love the "Firework" routine on "Just Dance 2 (xref)." Also, "Dark Horse" from "Just Dance 2015" makes us feel powerful (xref). However, nothing quite beats the "Fine, fresh, fierce" choreography of "California Gurls" on "Just Dance 3." It could be the coldest and darkest of winter days, but as soon as the song begins, we feel like we're at the best beach party basking under the summer sun. The simple, captivating rhythm is easy enough to follow but with enough changes to keep us engaged. To repurpose a Perry lyric, the "California Gurls" routine is unforgettable.

#5: “The Final Countdown” (1986) by Europe

“Just Dance 4” (2012) Let’s be honest; there’s no better way to solve disputes than a good ol’ fashion dance-off. And this routine is such a banger that you won’t even remember what you were arguing about by the time you reach the end. It’s high energy and full of power moves, and they’ve even chucked in a little floor-ography if you’re feeling it. Also, a song like “Final Countdown” demands nothing less than 110%. It starts by getting us hyped before building into a spirited routine that gets every part of us moving. From the moment the music begins, we’re already counting down until we can dance it all over again.

#4: “Where Have You Been” (2011) by Rihanna

“Just Dance 2014” (2013) Although it’s one of the most entertaining dances from the franchise, it’s also deceptively tricky. It lures us in with some simple arm-ography before taking off and barely leaving us a moment to catch our breath between each animated move. Still, if you wanted a song that gives you an almost full-body workout, gets you sweating, and releases plenty of happy hormones, this is it. We’d also argue that this is one of the most fire “Just Dance” routines and getting it right feels amazing. We’d just recommend warming up first because if you don’t, the next few days might not be quite as fun.

#3: “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” (2010) by Shakira

“Just Dance 2018” (2017) In 2010, Shakira released this Afro-fusion anthem for the South African World Cup. It wasn’t long until she had us all on our feet, mastering the chorus’ compelling choreography. This gave us a slight leg up when the song appeared on “Just Dance 2018.” The number combines Shakira’s iconic moves with new steps to keep us on our toes. Needless to say, the tune is very catchy, and the steps are incredibly fun and easily capture the essence of the music. We also get a kick out of the soccer-themed alternative routine. But, the original encapsulates what made this number so popular to begin with.

#2: “Just Dance” (2008) by Lady Gaga feat. Colby O'Donis

“Just Dance 2014” (2013) Can you believe it took this many games until they included the song that shares its name with the franchise? Luckily, it was worth the wait since the routine is a banger. Lady Gaga’s choreography is iconic, and this dance gives us a small taste of what it’s like to be on stage with the pop star. Between the song’s enthralling beat and those vigorous dance moves, we feel like we’re dancing in a club rather than in our homes. The tempo instantly makes us want to start swaying and fills us with energy. When a song tells us to “Just Dance,” we can’t help but go hard. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. “Hey Ya!” (2003) by Outkast, “Just Dance 2” (2010) A Good Choice for When You Want to “Shake It like a Polaroid Picture” “#thatPOWER” (2013) by will.i.am feat Justin Bieber, “Just Dance 2014” (2013) We’re “Loving Every Second, Minute, Hour” We’re Dancing to This Song “Macarena (Bayside Boys Remix)” (1995) by The Girly Team, “Just Dance 2015” (2014) We Can Never Tire of This ‘90s Classic, All Together Now… “Ghostbusters” (1984) by Ray Parker Jr., “Just Dance 2014” (2013) When You Wanna Dance This Routine, Who You Gonna Call?

It’s an instant mood booster and always leaves us feeling like total superstars.
