Billboard has named its best new dance tracks of the week, featuring releases by Zhu, Innellea, Ian Snow, Bianca Oblivion and Horsegiirl. The list highlights upcoming album singles, festival previews and collaborations amid a vibrant dance music scene. Other notes include Mau P's SXSW appearances and chart movements.
Billboard's latest roundup of top new dance songs centers on fresh releases from emerging and established artists. Published on March 21, 2026, the list leads with Zhu's 'Levelzzz,' a collaboration with Gc_bestbelieve_sa and HNTR. This marks the third single from Zhu's forthcoming album Black Midas, due April 24 via Broke/Blacklizt Sound Syndicate. Zhu described it as suited for 'all my clubber, ravers, and late night creatures who need energy to keep going,' ahead of his Ultra Music Festival set in Miami on March 29. Innellea's 'Slave To the Hype,' out on Belonging, responds to fan expectations. The German producer posted on Instagram in February: 'I’ve been reading more and more comments telling me what Innellea should sound like, and it does something to me. Yet somehow I feel stuck. locked into expectations. Into boxes I never wanted to step in. What am I actually allowed to do as an artist.' Ian Snow's 'Flow State' appears on Gud Vibrations, with the rising bass producer slated for Illfest in Austin in May, joining Crankdat, Excision and G Jones b2b Eprom. Bianca Oblivion teamed with L.A. peers AOBeats and ReniGAD for 'Up!' on Club Aerobics. Started late 2024, Oblivion noted: 'We had a dancehall acapella as a placeholder... the first person I thought of was ReniGAD. I’ve always been a fan of his music with RDX... ReniGAD jumped on it and sent us back these explosive vocals.' Germany's Horsegiirl released 'an apple a day' on RCA Records, incorporating vocals like a doctor's baritone line: 'I’m so angry, I’m the doctor, no one needs me!' followed by 'Take a bite! Take a bite! Take a motherf–kin’ bite!' The feature accompanies broader dance updates, such as Mau P's Billboard events at SXSW in Austin, Calvin Harris and Kasabian's chart-topping 'Release The Pressure,' and Rüfüs Du Sol's agent Alex Becket stating the genre 'has never been hotter.'
