Dance Central Game Add-On Content Sale Tracks for Xbox 360
Funk band Cameo quickly made their mark on the 1970s dance scene with the release of disco-heavy soul tracks.  In the mid-80s, the band released its biggest single “Word Up!” from the album of the same name.
 
Janet Jackson’s legendary song, “Control”, from the album of the same name, was released in 1986 and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Control” earned Miss Jackson (if you’re nasty) a 1988 Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video.
 
Sean Paul‘s “Temperature” reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 2006, becoming the artist’s third No. 1 song in the United States. The song spent 17 weeks in the Top 10 and is platinum certified.
 
Ne-Yo’s 2007 hit single “Because of You” peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his second most-successful song in the United States. The Dance Central routine to “Because of You” was performed by a crowd of thousands at the November Dance Central launch event in Times Square.
