It's that time of year again, Just Dance fans! Ubisoft have just revealed the full tracklist for the next iteration of their award-winning dancing game series, the imaginatively titled Just Dance 2015. With its easy-to-pick-up-and-play Wii-Remote-wanging (or in the case of the other consoles, jigging about in front of cameras) gameplay, and its winning tracklists full of cheesy oldies and more recent hits, its the sort of game that can persuade (almost) anyone to get up and dance. 2015 promises "more top Billboard artists than ever before" - which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your perspective.
Probably the closest One Direction have ever got to a guitar...
In terms of heavy hitters, there's Pharrell Williams' iconic "Happy" song, recent collaboration "Bang Bang" from Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj and "Diamonds" by Rihanna, while One Direction's egotistically titled "Best Song Ever" handily covers the tween contingent. In terms of oldies, we have Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero" (a cover of which appeared on the Shrek II soundtrack), "Walk This Way" from Aerosmith and Marvin Gaye's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Fans of wintery Disney films will be happier than a little snowman called Olaf at the fact Frozen's "Let It Go" has made the cut too, while those 90s kids will have fond memories of the school disco classic, the "Macarena".

Just Dance 2015 hits UK stores in just over a month, on the 24th October, to "all motion-control gaming platforms", which definitely includes the Wii U, Xbox One and Playstation 4, and we suspect, the 'last gen' Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and likely Wii too.
