History Trivia / JustDance

* KidsMealToy: ''Just Dance 2021'' received token sets at Arby's.

** Many, ''many'' songs and routines were leaked during the production of ''2023 Edition'', via data mining on the servers, and in occasional rumored incidents of hacking into the Ubisoft office's storage drives. Only two of the leaked songs ended up being added via ''JD+'' ("Wet Tennis" by SOFI TUKKER, which is part of "Season 1: Lover Coaster" and "Sacrifice" by The Weeknd, which is part of "Season 3: Beach, Summer & Vampires") while the rest remain unused, such as Dua Lipa's "Love Again" (first deduced from a [[https://www.tiktok.com/@bttnmsh/video/7171153176203300142 promotional TikTok]] showing the coach and choreographer lip-syncing the song's lyrics prior to the routine leaked), "Whine Up" by Kat [=DeLuna=] featuring Elephant Man (part of the leaked songs, and the song's codename was found in Gabriela's avatar in ''2024 Edition''), "Don't Rush" by Young T and Bugsley and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Eurthymics.

** "Wannabe"[[note]]the Music/SpiceGirls song that was in the first game, not the Music/{{ITZY}} song already in ''2023 Edition''[[/note]] was originally going to be the legacy track coming to ''JD+'' on May 25, 2023 as part of Season 2: Showdown, but 6 days earlier it was announced for unknown reasons that it would be replaced with [[Music/{{Netta}} "Toy"]] and [[Music/{{ABBA}} "Waterloo"]] coming earlier than their original planned release date of June 15 with the [[Series/EurovisionSongContest "Eurovision Song Contest"]] playlist containing other songs not on ''JD+''.

* CashCowFranchise: The first one sold surprisingly well and is, along with ''VideoGame/DanceCentral'', often credited for reinvigorating the dance game genre. Being cheap and easy to make, it spawned yearly sequels that were made available to every console imaginable, to the point there is even a version playable via smartphones. While nowadays ''Just Dance'' doesn't sell nearly as much as it did at the height of its popularity, it's still one of Ubisoft's most profitable properties, along with ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''. It's so profitable of a franchise that it's the only game series still being developed ''for the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}'' up to ''Just Dance 2020''[='=]s release.

** The first game's surprise success led to more motion-controlled dance games on the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, UsefulNotes/Xbox360 Kinect, and UsefulNotes/Playstation3 Move, such as ''VideoGame/DanceCentral'', ''VideoGame/DanceMasters'', ''VideoGame/DanceParadise'', and ''VideoGame/SingStar Dance''.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Music/KrisWu's "大碗宽面 (Da Wan Kuan Mian)" was featured in the Chinese version of ''2020'' as well as ''Just Dance Unlimited'''s Chinese servers, but was removed in July 2021 in a patch following sexual assault allegations against him. Another map featuring his song "Bad Girl", originally planned for the Chinese version of ''Now'', was overdubbed with an original song titled "Gorgeous Diva" before being added to the Chinese ''Unlimited'' service.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: [[Music/{{Drake}} Drake's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT3ChfzaHZI "Nice for What"]] was removed from ''Just Dance 2019'' following a day one patch due to licensing issues. However, early copies of the Wii port have the song as an exclusive level, since it's the only version that cannot be patched. It is also intact on all copies of the Xbox 360 port; even though that version is capable of being patched, Ubisoft likely decided not to bother since ''JD2019'' was their final game on the console and had abandoned development for it.

** Nearly every song in ''2024 Edition'' has been leaked, with some leaking as early as ''eight months'' before the game's launch. Among the first leaks were "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", both routines for "How You Like That", and "Butter". Another batch of leaks showed a work-in-progress video of "Gimme More", featuring the return of Agent D from "Toxic". Shortly before "Gimme More" was officially announced, the final map was leaked. This caught the attention of the choreographer who portrays Agent D (Julie Bagalciaque), who criticized the leaks and pleaded with fans to stop spreading them. Many well-known fans in the community also criticized the leaks and refused to acknowledge them.

** Most of the songs from ''Just Dance China'' have never been released outside of the country; one song ("Rainbow Beats") was added to ''Unlimited'' in the ''2021'' era, and another ("Dare to Live") was added to ''JD+'' for ''2023 Edition'', but that is all for now. One of the Chinese exclusives, "Gokuraku Joudo", is actually a Japanese song, but is not even available in Japan. Another non-Chinese exclusive to the Chinese game is "Gee" by Girls Generation, a K-pop song.

** In ''2024 Edition'', the map for "Can't Tame Her" features Avery Price, better known as her online alias "[=littlesiha=]", as the coach.

** Many, ''many'' unreleased songs and routines were leaked during the ''2023 Edition'' era, via data mining on the servers, and in occasional rumored incidents of hacking into the Ubisoft office's storage drives. Some of the leaked songs ended up being added via ''JD+'', such as "Wet Tennis" (part of "Season 1: Lover Coaster") and "Sacrifice" (wpart of "Season 3: Beach, Summer & Vampires"). Others have yet to be used in any game, such as Dua Lipa's "Love Again" (first deduced from a [[https://www.tiktok.com/@bttnmsh/video/7171153176203300142 promotional TikTok]] showing the coach and choreographer lip-syncing the song's lyrics).
