Well it's that time of year and I think it's about time we stole from the indie forum looked back at the greatest dance tracks of the year.
I have compiled a list of 50 dance tracks that were crossed over to the UK chart this year, or got a lot of Buzzjack attention. Now is your chance to add to the list. You may nominate up to five tracks not on the list. A song only needs to be nominated once to go to the next round so do not nominate a song that has already been nominated.

@mdh, 'Bicep', 'Say A Prayer' and 'Just For One Night' have already been nommed, you don't need to give them a second nomination - please choose three other songs to nominate.
@Ultra/Snakey, StarGate to me is more pop than anything, I won't be accepting it
@Cucumberella, the Bob Marley remix was last year so I won't be accepting it - please choose another song to nominate.
I think Waterfall in itself is dance (future bass) but Stargate are primarily pop producers so it won't be accepted for this. Same as Katy Perry ft Nicki Minaj - Swish Swish which is technically deep house.
Bonobo - Kerala
Four Tet - Scientists
Actress - X22RME
Soulwax - Missing Wires
High Contrast feat. Boy Matthews - The Beat Don't Feel The Same
Bonobo feat. Nick Murphy - No Reason
Flume feat. Kučka - Hyperreal
Hayden James feat. GRAACE - NUMB
Slumberjack feat. Vera Blue - Fracture
Yellow Claw feat. DJ Snake & Elliphant - Good Day
@Dalek, 'The Beat Don't Feel The Same' has already been nominated.
Was considering starting something like this but I much prefer your format anyway!
Here's my noms:
Giorgio Moroder - Good For Me
INNA - Ruleta
Lindsey Stirling - Love's Just A Feeling
Sagi Abitbul - Mariko

Alex Ross feat. Dakota & T-Pain - Dreams
Grey feat. Bahari - I Miss You
Jasmine Thompson - Old Friends (Jonas Blue Remix)
Kris Kross Amsterdam & Conor Maynard feat. Ty Dolla $ign - Are You Sure?
Mike Perry, The Vamps & Sabrina Carpenter - Hands
Are You Sure? was out at the very end of 2016 so I'm not sure it'll count, so here's a back-up:
Tiësto feat. Bright Sparks - On My Way
Some hidden gems in that nominations list for sure Surprised no ones nominated SOFI TUKKER’s Best Friend, is that dance?
