The following is a list of songs in the Dance Dance Revolution series of games. Songs presented in this list are titled as they appear in their respective games and the credited musician's name appears as credited in-game. In many cases, the series features covers, remixes or tributes of songs by musicians hired by Konami, with original accreditation being cited.
The Rhythm-based Dance Dance Revolution series of music video games feature a number of songs that serve as functional equivalent of game levels. Most songs in the series are produced by in-house video game composers, however many games feature individual tracks by popular mainstream musicians. Different remixed versions of the same song often feature in different games as well as within a single game, and a number of games may feature the same version of a song. In-house music composers for the DDR series, such as Naoki Maeda or Sōta Fujimori are known to have employed a great number (as many as 3 dozen in some cases) of pseudonyms in the past. These pseudonyms reflect different musical styles used by composers and as such some songs credit two composers who are in actuality both pseudonyms of the same individual.
