Cleverly compiled by Atlantic, who promoted it as "the first ever major-label collection of viral dance challenge tracks,"
This Is a Challenge consists primarily of songs that either inspired or were often used in various social media dance challenge clips. Among the biggest crossover hits are
Zay Hilfigerrr and
Zayion McCall's "Juju on That Beat (TZ Anthem),"
Silentó's "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)," and
Flo Rida's "My House," all Top Five pop hits, as well as Cupid's significantly older "Cupid Shuffle," a multi-platinum smash. At the time of the set's release on streaming platforms and as a digital download, the few selections that hadn't broken through had either fizzled out (DJ Suede the Remix God's "I Got Skills," for instance) or were new Atlantic releases (such as
Flo Rida's "Cake"). ~ Andy Kellman
