The leader is Orquesta Forever Tango, 1998, with 58% of the 361 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

1 more dance names this song but not which version, so no share counts it. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.
