ULTIMATE DANCE 2010s // FINAL RATE

Over the past four months you've all voted for your absolute favourite dance tracks of the decade and we've now got 100 songs in contention! All of them have been handily collated in this Spotify playlist (alongside the semi-finalists) which I recommend you give a little shuffle!



50 songs have auto-qualified to the final which have be joined by 50 more – 25 from each semi. You can view the results HERE.

As it is the grand final I'll take inspiration from Rollo's ultimate #1s/#2s and make it a rate! Here are the rules:

You can give your three favourite songs a score of 11. All the other songs can be given a score from 1 up to 10. Half scores are allowed (excluding scores of 10.5). You can give as many 10s/9s as you like but please try and spread your scores out to help your absolute faves. You also can give one song a score of -1 and a maximum of 3 zeros if there are any songs you really don't like.

You may complete half of the rate now and half later but please make sure to rate all of it before the deadline.

You have just over 2 weeks, that is until Sunday 14 June 11:59 a.m. BST.

Firstly let's take a look at which year is most represented, and I can reveal that the winner is... 2014! As for your collective least favourite year, that is 2018 which only has six songs in!

Now let's see who is the most represented artist, which I can reveal is... both Calvin Harris and Avicii! They have 10 appearances each (including one as Tim Berg for Avicii), that's 1 in every 10 songs here!
