" Daft Punk, Rudimental and Calvin Harris have helped push dance music to become the UK&amp;#039;s third-most popular genre. Dance overtook RnB in the first half of 2013 thanks to chart-toppers including &amp;#039;Get Lucky&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;I Need Your Love&amp;#039;, allowing the genre to claim its highest market share since 2006.  The dance single share for the first half of 2013 rose to 19.1%, an increase of 5% on the same period last year.  According to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), dance is now the third-most popular genre in the UK after pop and rock.  The genre also accounts for one in ten albums purchased in the UK.    Geoff Taylor, Chief Executive of the BPI, said: &amp;quot;Dance music is well on its way to becoming one of the defining sounds of 2013. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s drawing in artists normally associated with other genres, such as hip-hop and dubstep. These fresh influences are giving 2013&amp;#039;s dance music an edge which is really cutting through to fans.&amp;quot; Ben Turner, co-founder of the Association for Electronic Music, added: &amp;quot;The explosion of electronic dance music in the USA is well-documented worldwide, so it&amp;#039;s great for the UK to now be in a position to reveal statistics as strong as this to show how dance music continues to drive the UK music business forward.&amp;quot; The ten biggest dance tracks of the year so far are: 1 &amp;#039;Get Lucky&amp;#039; - Daft Punk ft.
