Talk:Dirty Dancer

Versus

I believe that DD was released to promote Versus/RvR deluxe because the single clearly credits "Enrique Iglesias with Usher featuring Lil Wayne". If it were not a single by Usher as a lead artist, it would be "Enrique Iglesias featuring Usher and Lil Wayne". If the labels go to such lengths to stipulate Usher's lead artist-ness, would that not signify promotion of his album(s)? Adabow (talk · contribs) 23:52, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect... this is the same issue as "Check It Out (song)" which is accredited equally to Nicki Minaj and will.i.am. Listing an artist using the word 'with' instead of 'featuring' makes very little difference. It is WP:Synthesis to assume that the word 'with' implies that it must be promoting Usher's album too. The fact is both artists are on a different record labels and from what I can see in the sources, only Universal is listed as a label for "Dirty Dancer," universal is Enrique's label while Usher is signed to Sony - a rival company. One label will not bear the cost of promoting a single for an artist on a different record label. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 23:56, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

OK, I suppose that makes sense... Adabow (talk · contribs) 00:01, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Now if a source was to come across implicitly stating otherwise then I'll accept the change. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 00:12, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

It does seem a little odd to me, though, that they make two separate distinctions; 'with' and 'featuring'? but I tried to slightly improve the LEAD to correspond with the discussion here.—Iknow23 (talk) 22:15, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

It is still a single by Usher, although it was not released to promote Versus (what the discussion is about). Adabow (talk · contribs) 04:40, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

• Dirty Dancer → Dirty Dancer (Enrique Iglesias and Usher song)
• Dirty Dancer (disambiguation) → Dirty Dancer

– I have been recently looking for this song on so many music platforms, Apple Music/iTunes, Spotify, Napster, you name it, and I cannot find the remix single anymore. I can still find the version on Enrique's album with just Usher, but I cannot find the remix with Lil Wayne, and the remix was the official single version. So between a song that is no longer available for purchase/streaming and a song by a group from X Factor that failed to make the top 40, I find neither song superior over the other. In other words, neither is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. JE98 (talk) 17:07, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose. The Iglesias/Usher song clearly has greater long-term significance over a song that charted at #85 in a single country. Chase (talk | contributions) 16:18, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose. Despite being older, the Iglesias song receives *96%* of the page traffic.[1] It's clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:05, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
