How Our Throwback Thursday Dance-Off Works
Every Thursday morning, your favorite ten-dance.com hosts pick a classic tune, often digging deep into the crates of 80s and 90s hits. The excitement kicks off around 7:35 am as each host champions their chosen track, making a case for why their song deserves to be crowned the Throwback Thursday champion. But here’s where you come in – the power is in your hands! You decide the ultimate winner by casting your votes through our social media channels, website chat, or by giving us a call. The winning track, guaranteed to get you moving, is then played on air at 8:10 am. There’s a fun twist to keep things interesting: the previous week’s winning host gets to pick any song they desire, while the host who lost last time has to rely on listener suggestions for their pick.
Bobby’s 80s Dance Floor Filler
This week, get ready for a blast from the past with a true 80s gem. Bobby is spinning a one-hit wonder from 1987, “Pump Up The Volume” by M/A/R/R/S. This track is pure 80s energy, a pioneering sound that perfectly captures the innovative spirit of 80s dance music. It’s the kind of song that instantly transports you back to the era of neon lights and vibrant dance floors.
Liberty’s 90s Hip-Hop Groove
Going head-to-head with Bobby’s 80s pick, Liberty is bringing the 90s flavor with a track from iconic female hip-hop artists, Salt N Pepa. Teaming up with En Vogue for “Whatta Man,” this song is a 90s anthem that still packs a punch. While it leans into the 90s, it shares that same confident, danceable energy that made 80s music so revolutionary.
Make sure you tune in next Thursday at 7:35 am to catch our hosts battle it out with two more incredible tracks, and most importantly, cast your vote for the song you want to hear dominate your speakers. We’ll be playing the winning selection at 8:10 am, ready to kickstart your day with some throwback vibes.
