Whilst the final voting is open here is the results thread for the songs that missed the final, which will turn into a final results thread once voting has closed (in 2 weeks).

So let's run down your favourite dance songs of all time

Here's a reminder of the previous winners and runners-up, and unlike Record of the Decade we have had a new winner each year. Could we keep that up this year?

205. Livin' Joy - Don't Stop Movin'
1996 | 54 points | [205] | 53rd in semi 2

Released as the follow-up to #1 hit and Ultimate Dance finalist 'Dreamer', this does well to make the Chart for the first time but has to settle for last place.

204. Bob Sinclar (feat Gary Pine) - Love Generation
2005 | 55 points | [138-x-204] | 49th in semi 3

The song that revitalised Bob Sinclar's chart career (and indeed the first song of his I was aware of, being too young to have heard of 'I Feel For You'), and also his only song to have ever made it to Ultimate Dance - it returns this year but finished last in its semi.

203. Basement Jaxx - Red Alert
1999 | 56 points | [84-x-228-203] | 52nd in semi 2

The first of two Basement Jaxx songs, this historically performed better but is outdone by 'Where's Your Head At' this year.

202. DB Boulevard - Point Of View
2002 | 56 points | [202] | 51st in semi 2

A new arrival for this 2002 hit, a lovely song though I'm surprised it's even remembered enough to have made the semis.

201. Oliver Heldens (feat KStewart) - Last All Night (Koala)
2014 | 58 points | [127-237-201] | 50th in semi 2

My personal fave of this section, shame it continues to underperform here but it seems forever destined to live in the shadow of (the admittedly superior song) 'Gecko', which you can vote for in the final. It at least registers a climb this year though due to the shorter number of semi-finalists - there were 260 last time.

Posted by: coi Sep 16 2019, 02:14 PM

It's a shame to see Last All Night (Koala) fall just short of the top 200, that is also my favourite of the section!

Posted by: danG Sep 16 2019, 02:53 PM

200. Utah Saints - Something Good '08
2008 | 67 points | [56-x-x-36-200] | 48th in semi 3

Falling straight out of last contest's top 40 are Utah Saints. As good as this song is, it's definitely not one of the best 40 dance songs ever anyhow so I can't complain.

199. David Guetta (feat Kelly Rowland) - When Love Takes Over
2009 | 68 points | [16-13-14-85-199] | 49th in semi 2

This doing so poorly is rather surprising considering it was once a mainstay of the top 20, but time hasn't been too kind to this clearly and I must say I'm glad it's far from its peak now, it was never my fave of David's.

198. Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe
1994 | 68 points | [198] | 50th in semi 4

Erm okay at this scraping it in (and for the first time). Can't take this song seriously at all and it's definitely one of the poorer songs here.

197. Martin Solveig & Dragonette - Hello
2011 | 69 points | [58-60-111-197] | 53rd in semi 1

Shame to see this one take a bit of a tumble over the years but at least we now have 'All Day And Night' in the final to compensate.

196. Major Lazer (feat DJ Snake & MØ) - Lean On
2015 | 69 points | [135-96-196] | 52nd in semi 1

Surprised this is so low, I thought this was a lot more loved on Buzzjack but maybe more so with pop fans. Still sounds great every now and then.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Sep 16 2019, 04:13 PM

Some brill songs at the lower end there, particularly Don't Stop Movin', Red Alert, Love Generation, Red Alert and Hello!

Posted by: danG Sep 16 2019, 06:26 PM

195. The KLF - Last Train To Trancentral
1991 | 70 points | [149-x-x-195] | 49th in semi 4

Returning after five years and faring better this time despite its lower position (having finished 3rd-from last in 2014 with 7 points) are the KLF, not helped by their complete non-presence on digital platforms though I'm not massively keen on this track anyway.

194. 99 Souls (feat Destiny's Child & Brandy) - The Girl Is Mine
2015 | 70 points | [211-194] | 51st in semi 1

Slightly improving on their position last time around are 99 Souls who amazingly still are yet to officially follow this track up though they do occasionally release a remix. This track remains amazing though and deserves more love.

193. Inna - Hot
2010 | 70 points | [96-x-109-131-193] | 48th in semi 4

One of the biggest hits from the early 10s Eurodance era, initially outdone by 'Amazing' in 2013 (#74) somehow but it's this one that keeps coming back. A nice tune but this feels like a fair position for it.

192. Alex Gaudino (feat Crystal Waters) - Destination Calabria
2007 | 71 points | [202-192] | 47th in semi 3

This saxy anthem winds up in a similar position to last time, easily the best thing either artist has put out too.

191. The Chainsmokers (feat ROZES) - Roses
2016 | 71 points | [192-191] | 50th in semi 1

Even more amazing consistency here from The Chainsmokers who manage to climb one whole position over 3 years. It's their only track here surprisingly but it is my favourite of theirs so good to see it here.

Posted by: Rush Sep 17 2019, 02:17 AM

Oh I'm impressed at every song getting at least 54 points! I would put 'Don't Stop Movin' higher but only slightly; 'Dreamer' is obviously much better (unless you're the Australian charts lol). I do prefer 'World Hold On' and 'Rock This Party' to 'Love Generation' nowadays. Definitely surprised too at 'When Love Takes Over' falling so low, but it's not really one of my favourites either (though I'd happily take it over 'Titanium'). lol well done 'Cotton Eye Joe' getting top 200 even if it came last in its semi :') 'The Girl Is Mine' is one of like 3 songs in the semi-finals I've never liked so I'm glad it's low (apols to 99 Souls if they ever venture onto Buzzjack again). I'm glad to see 'Roses' appreciated in here, it's aged so well and is my 2nd favourite of theirs after 'Don't Let Me Down'.

Posted by: gavindeejay Sep 17 2019, 07:19 AM

Interesting to see tracks that were once very popular already dropping out so low particularly 'When Love Takes Over' and 'Love Generation' which I would of expected to be miles higher than they are.

Posted by: TheSnake Sep 17 2019, 09:57 AM

I was going to vote in the semis, but forgot sadly.

I, for one, certainly think 'Koala' is better than 'Gecko'. I never really liked 'Gecko' much. 'Don't Let Me Down' I prefer to 'Roses' for the Chainsmokers.

Yes there was a brief but rather good Eurodance (or rather euro-house) era in the early 10s, mostly originating from Romania. I would have given Inna - Hot a few points had I voted.

Posted by: danG Sep 17 2019, 10:08 AM

Don't forget to vote in the final then! It's open now!

190. Rozalla - Everybody's Free
1991 | 73 points | [190] | 49th in semi 1

Rozalla's free to feel good about finally making it to the semi-finals of Ultimate Dance, though finishes rather lowly for being one of the most recognisable dance tracks of the early 90s.

189. Wamdue Project - King Of My Castle
1999 | 75 points | [52-189] | 48th in semi 1

After finishing oddly highly last time around this falls towards the bottom end, which feels more right for it as there are numerous better 90s dance tracks though I do enjoy this.

188. Calvin Harris & Rihanna - This Is What You Came For
2016 | 76 points | [158-188] | 48th in semi 2

My fave of this section by some way, this seems to be forever underrated here as even with Rihanna's vocal it is yet to break the top half of the countdown. It's a great year for Calvin though as he has four songs to vote for in the final, including other Rihanna collab 'We Found Love'.

187. Adamski (feat Seal) - Killer
1990 | 79 points | [77-x-x-187] | 47th in semi 2

Back to the early 90s again with this big #1, one of the better songs of its era which returns after five years.

186. Duke Dumont - Won't Look Back
2014 | 80 points | [186] | 47th in semi 1

Surprised to see this had made it through, he outdid this quite a few times for me but still sounds great.

Posted by: gavindeejay Sep 17 2019, 12:07 PM

I'm shocked this is the first year Rozalla has been featured in this. Never really been a big fan of 'King Of My Castle' I've always thought it was strange a female talking about being the King of the castle surely it should be queen of the castle? I do really like that Duke Dumont track, but he has outdone it and as for TIWYCF I've always thought it was pretty weak and a big disappointment from the 'Motion' album . As much as it gets slated on here, I've always preferred 'My Way' from his 2016 singles era.

Posted by: danG Sep 17 2019, 12:38 PM

185. Alan Walker (feat Au/Ra & Tomine Harket) - Darkside
2018 | 81 points | [185] | 47th in semi 4

A surprising inclusion given both its recency and lack of UK chart impact, but it's great to see this get some appreciation here as one of Alan Walker's best tracks. He still has a finalist in 'Faded' too.

184. Freemasons (feat Bailey Tzuke) - Uninvited
2007 | 81 points | [74-69-184] | 46th in semi 2

The sole entry for Freemasons who have now been departed from the UK chart for a decade, it takes a bit of a tumble this year anyhow.

183. The Supermen Lovers (feat Mani Hoffman) - Starlight
2001 | 82 points | [86-x-76-183] | 46th in semi 3

This also leaves the final this year, it's a great example of its genre but I had no room for it in my votes and I suspect many feel the same.

182. Calvin Harris - Feel So Close
2011 | 79 points | [56-104-162-182] | 46th in semi 4

We meet Calvin again, and he has five appearances here outside of the final. It's the first to feature his own vocals, out of two with 'I'm Not Alone' in the final. It's a great track which I'd probably put in my top 10 of his or just outside.

181. September - Cry For You
2008 | 80 points | [76-x-x-73-181] | 45th in semi 4

September also falls out of the final, there's a lot of changeover in the final this year. As one of the more europop leaning tracks I've allowed in the contest I'm glad it's not doing too well here anyway.

Posted by: coi Sep 17 2019, 12:49 PM

Delighted to see Darkside up there!

Destination Calabria and Won't Look Back are also great, I'd actually say the latter is probably my favourite Duke Dumont song! Roses being the highest Chainsmokers song is questionable, I was never really into that one, and agree with others in the thread that Don't Let Me Down should have been there instead.

Posted by: danG Sep 17 2019, 02:36 PM

'Don't Let Me Down' out-finished it last time (#152) but only got six nominations out of the nine it needed in its group.

Posted by: danG Sep 17 2019, 06:38 PM

180. Spiller (feat Sophie Ellis Bextor) - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)
2000 | 85 points | [08-19-x-64-180] | 46th in semi 1

The once-top ten hit takes a big tumble this year. As one of the best dance tracks of the early 00s it really deserves a bit more than this position.

179. Sunset Strippers - Falling Stars
2005 | 88 points | [203-179] | 45th in semi 1

Repping it for the looped house covers is another faceless 1HW act with the better reworking of 'Star To Fall', which makes the top 200 after just missing out last time.

178. Faithless - God Is A DJ
1998 | 89 points | [178] | 44th in semi 4

Whilst 'Insomnia' has won and been top 20 in every edition it is the first time any one of their others has made it to the semis. They have two additional tracks and this is certainly a good addition to the Chart, I definitely prefer it to 'We Come 1' however that is still yet to come.

177. Mike Posner - I Took A Pill In Ibiza (SeeB Remix)
2016 | 90 points | [139-177] | 43rd in semi 4

Holding up well 3 years after this was a massive hit, though neither act managed to have any hits since. It now has over a billion Spotify streams too so for one of the biggest tracks of the decade it feels a bit low!

176. Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa - Scared to Be Lonely
2017 | 91 points | [176] | 42nd in semi 4

The first appearance for Martin Garrix, who still has 'Animals' to come in the final.

Posted by: danG Sep 18 2019, 09:06 AM

175. Snap! - The Power
1990 | 91 points | [175] | 45th in semi 2

The second-biggest hit for Snap! finally makes an appearance in the semi-finals, with 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' still in contention in the final.

174. Sash! (feat Tina Cousins) - Mysterious Times
1998 | 92 points | [174] | 45th in semi 3

Sash! have done well this year with 'Encore Une Fois' as a finalist and three additional songs sitting outside, and this is the first to fall though it does well to place for the first time. Their sole #2 hit to not make it this time is 'Adelante' which was not nominated, though it made the top 100 in 2014.

173. Fatboy Slim - The Rockafeller Skank
1998 | 92 points | [181-201-173] | 44th in semi 3

With a remarkably consistent chart run since it entered in 2014, it is one of two Fatboy Slim tracks here with 'Right Here Right Now' in the final.

172. Galantis - Peanut Butter Jelly
2015 | 94 points | [102-172] | 43rd in semi 3

Galantis continue to do well with 2 of their big hits though 'No Money' drops out having not been nominated.

171. Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby
1999 | 94 points | [88-36-x-80-171] | 42nd in semi 3

Another finalist of last contest tumbling, though it did finish last in the final so it's not much of a surprise.

Posted by: danG Sep 18 2019, 04:10 PM

170. Conershop - Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix)
1998 | 96 points | [206-232-170] | 44th in semi 1

Just outdoing 'Right Here Right Now' is Norman Cook under his own name who gave Cornershop their one proper hit.

169. Avicii (feat Salem Al Fakir) - Silhouettes
2012 | 96 points | [81-78-175-169] | 43rd in semi 1

Avicii's done well this year with three finalists and three additional semi-finalists. This is the first to drop out which still feels underrated though it had the tough job of following up the massive 'Levels'.

168. Fedde Le Grand - Put Your Hands Up For Detroit
2006 | 96 points | [88-79-165-168] | 44th in semi 2

Fedde Le Grand with his breakthrough hit continues to make the semis and finishes in a similar position to last time.

167. Melanie C - I Turn To You (Hex Hector Remix)
2000 | 96 points | [167] | 43rd in semi 2

A new arrival for the Spice Girl, who got a trance remix back when the genre was at its most commercial.

166. System F - Out Of The Blue
1999 | 97 points | [166] | 42nd in semi 2

Another trance track, and a better one too. This getting enough votes to get in the semis was a great surprise so it completely avoiding the bottom section is a bonus.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Sep 18 2019, 04:29 PM

Silhouettes

By far my fave Avicii song

Posted by: danG Sep 19 2019, 08:21 PM

165. Calvin Harris (feat Kelis) - Bounce
2011 | 97 points | [93-x-137-229-165] | 41st in semi 3

One of Calvin's best tracks bounces back into the top 200 this year, great to see, though it's still far from its peak.

164. Kiesza - Hideaway
2014 | 97 points | [39-18-118-164] | 42nd in semi 1

Having long lost its recency boost Kiesza sadly leaves the top 150 this year after a huge fall in 2016.

163. Phats & Small - Turn Around
1999 | 98 points | [76-153-169-163] | 41st in semi 1

Phats & Small continue to remain in this area of the chart with the hit they're best known for, which is the only song not from the 2010s in this section and also my least fave of the section.

162. Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa - One Kiss
2018 | 99 points | [162] | 40th in semi 1

I was expecting a lot better for this especially as it's firmly in the top 100 in Record of the Decade but sadly even with the recency factor it falls well short of the final. Maybe it'll do a bit better once it ages.

161. Duke Dumont - Ocean Drive
2015 | 100 points | [161] | 39th in semi 1

It's a good year for Duke Dumont here as this topped the poll of 'casualties of streaming' (having missed the top 40 in the early days of the Spotify era) and also enters this chart for the first time.

Posted by: danG Sep 19 2019, 08:38 PM

160. Technotronic (feat Felly) - Pump Up the Jam
1989 | 100 points | [92-x-212-160] | 38th in semi 1

One of the oldest tracks in the chart but clearly still very much liked here.

159. CamelPhat & Elderbrook - Cola
2017 | 100 points | [159] | 37th in semi 1

A new arrival for CamelPhat who I suspect will be a mainstay of this chart in the future with both this and this year's finalist 'Panic Room'.

158. Nightcrawlers - Push The Feeling On (MK Remix)
1994 | 100 points | [49-116-91-158] | 41st in semi 4

One of my fave 90s dance tracks, which sadly seems to be yo-yoing back out of the top 100 this year.

157. Bodyrox (feat Luciana) - Yeah Yeah (D. Ramirez Edit)
2006 | 101 points | [49-106-x-204-157] | 41st in semi 2

A highlight of the electro trend of the mid 00s, good to see this back in the top 200.

156. Yolanda Be Cool & D Cup - We No Speak Americano
2010 | 102 points | [120-95-156] | 40th in semi 4

My personal fave of 2010, glad to see it's still not been completely forgotten on here though it unfortunately falls from the top 100.

Posted by: danG Sep 21 2019, 01:05 PM

155. Paul Johnson - Get Get Down
1999 | 103 points | [ 155-155] | 39th in semi 4

Finishing in the exact same position three years on is the repetitive piano house bop 'Get Get Down'.

154. Disciples - On My Mind
2017 | 104 points | [154] | 38th in semi 4

One of my big faves of the past few years gets a decent finish for its first outing in this competition. It deserves the love that their other big hit HWIYL gets though!

153. Sigala - Easy Love
2015 | 104 points | [109-153] | 40th in semi 3

Sigala has three songs here, and with 'Wish You Well' being the forum's new fave, his breakthrough hit (alongside 'Sweet Lovin' still to come) sinks a little.

152. ZHU - Faded
2014 | 105 points | [154-129-152] | 36th in semi 1

One of the best tracks of the peak deep house era continues to do rather well here, falling back to just about where it was four years ago.

151. Clean Bandit (feat Jess Glynne) - Rather Be
2014 | 105 points | [23-07-53-151] | 35th in semi 1

In the top two of the Clean Bandit singles survivor, but finishing 3rd out of their tracks here is the brilliant 'Rather Be' which somehow has completely collapsed this year after being a former top ten finisher. Let's hope it can rebound next time.

Easy Love is brilliant but underrated here.

150. Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar
1997 | 107 points | [54-x-191-x-150] | 34th in semi 1

The trance classic makes its way back into the chart, once voted the best dance track of the previous 20 years by R1 nighttime listeners but here just starts the top 150.

149. Zedd (feat Foxes) - Clarity
2013 | 107 points | [85-x-63-78-149] | 39th in semi 3

From back when Zedd was producing good tracks, 'Clarity' still gets more love now than his latest work.

148. LMFAO (feat Lauren Bennett & GoonRock) - Party Rock Anthem
2011 | 108 points | [122-148] | 33rd in semi 1

One of my fave tracks of the decade, great to see this has held up well into the current year!

147. Daft Punk - Digital Love
2001 | 109 points | [47-151-116-147] | 40th in semi 2

As 'Get Lucky' somehow managed to not qualify, this effort from them manages another year in this region.

146. Tove Lo (feat Hippie Sabotage) - Stay High (Habits Remix)
2014 | 109 points | [69-66-146] | 37th in semi 4

After two years of making the final this slips down a fair bit but seems to be holding up well considering it's now five years old.

Posted by: danG Sep 22 2019, 01:46 PM

145. Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At?
2001 | 109 points | [231-145] | 39th in semi 2

There is a new Basement Jaxx fave here as this track jumps into the top 200 for the first time. Not a bad choice.

144. Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight)
2000 | 110 points | [31-62-x-145-144] | 38th in semi 2

Modjo nearly become the second non-mover with their funky house #1.

143. Soul II Soul (feat Caron Wheeler) - Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)
1989 | 110 points | [143] | 38th in semi 3

Another 80s track, and there's only a handful of these, though it makes its first appearance this year.

142. Sonique - Sky
2000 | 111 points | [142] | 37th in semi 3

Sonique finally gets a 2nd song of hers in the chart, it followed 'It Feels So Good' which will appear later on.

141. The KLF (feat Tammy Wynette) - Justified And Ancient
1991 | 111 points | [141] | 36th in semi 4

This also enters for the first time and now becomes The KLF's highest peaking track in this chart.

Posted by: King Rollo Sep 22 2019, 02:58 PM

After I was listening to something on Spotify this week,it randomly played a Gary Numan song called 'M.E.' from 1979 which I had not heard before. I recognised the three note hook from 'Where's Your Head At?' I didn't know that Basement Jaxx were sampling Gary Numan on that song.

Posted by: danG Sep 22 2019, 08:45 PM

140. Sebastian Ingrosso & Tommy Trash (feat John Martin) - Reload
2013 | 111 points | [140] | 32nd in semi 1

Swedish House Mafia have four songs to go but before we get to that we have one of Sebastian's tracks under his own name and a great one too.

139. Dario G - Carnaval De Paris
1998 | 112 points | [162-x-139] | 38th in semi 2

Dario G are back with this track, that followed up 'Sunchyme' (which predictably is a finalist)

138. Wankelmut & Emma Louise - My Head Is A Jungle (MK Remix)
2014 | 112 points | [119-133-138] | 31st in semi 1

This amazing house track manages to stay in this general area for another year but really it should be a lot higher!

137. Deepest Blue - Deepest Blue
2003 | 112 points | [137] | 37th in semi 2

Deepest Blue make this chart for the first time with their self-titled effort, it's okay but don't get it being this high.

136. Eric Prydz - Pjanoo
2008 | 112 points | [48-107-94-173-136] | 36th in semi 2

A proper house classique of the 00s, good to see this keeping its run of being in every chart and registering a climb this year.

Posted by: danG Sep 23 2019, 06:40 PM

135. Swedish House Mafia & Knife Party - Antidote
2012 | 112 points | [205-135] | 36th in semi 3

Swedish House Mafia's first track to go is their collab with Knife Party which seems quite forgotten in comparison to their rest of their material so good to see it do well despite that.

134. Disclosure (feat AlunaGeorge) - White Noise
2013 | 113 points | [24-x-x-71-134] | 35th in semi 2

Disclosure's two biggest hits make the chart, with 'Latch' going to the finals this unfortunately can't join it this time.

133. Ultrabeat - Pretty Green Eyes
2003 | 114 points | [194-133] | 35th in semi 4

Ultrabeat make a climb with one of the biggest tracks of the Clubland era.

132. Scooter - Nessaja
2002 | 115 points | [132] | 34th in semi 4

Scooter finally get one of their other tracks in the chart and naturally it is the follow-up to their big hit, 'The Logical Song' is still to come in the final.

131. David Zowie - House Every Weekend
2015 | 115 points | [160-131] | 35th in semi 3

After a recency-fuelled debut this surprisingly makes a climb three years later but no complaints this is a tune.

Posted by: danG Sep 25 2019, 09:21 PM

130. Robin S - Show Me Love
1993 | 115 points | [149-130] | 29th in semi 1

Of the many many versions of this track it's only the original that has ever made this chart and it stays on for a second outing.

129. Kygo (feat Conrad) - Firestone
2015 | 116 points | [123-161-129] | 28th in semi 1

Kygo's debut hit continues to do well here and it is his only song here - surprisingly no 'Higher Love' this time around but I suspect it'll make it in next time when it ages.

128. Grace - Not Over Yet
1995 | 117 points | [128] | 33rd in semi 4

A new entry for Grace who I only recently realised is actually a group and not the singer. Surprised this one hasn't shown up before.

127. Years & Years - King
2015 | 117 points | [130-127] | 27th in semi 1

Years & Years' #1 hit 'King' manages to remain in a very similar position to last time and they still have 'Sunlight' to come too.

126. Faithless - We Come 1
2001 | 117 points | [126] | 34th in semi 2

Another Faithless track appears, I wouldn't put this one so high and especially not above 'God Is A DJ' but here it is. 'Insomnia' of course is yet to come in the final.

Posted by: danG Sep 26 2019, 11:11 AM

125. The Magician (feat Years & Years) - Sunlight
2014 | 117 points | [80-75-125] | 34th in semi 3

Both Years & Years tracks finish with the same points total, with this one falling out of the final this year.

124. Tiësto - Adagio For Strings
2005 | 118 points | [124] | 33rd in semi 3

Finally this version of 'Adagio For Strings' enters to join the William Orbit version still to come, great to see.

123. Armand Van Helden (feat Duane Harden) - You Don't Know Me
1999 | 120 points | [178-123] | 33rd in semi 2

A big climb for Armand this year with one of his best tracks and a #1 hit.

122. Swedish House Mafia (feat Tinie Tempah) - Miami 2 Ibiza
2010 | 121 points | [69-x-204-168-122] | 32rd in semi 4

The SHM appear again, nice to see this continue to recover and maybe it can climb even further next time if we ever actually get new material from them.

121. Klangkarussell feat. Will Heard - Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine)
2013 | 122 points | [88-151-121] | 34th in semi 2

This lush chill house tune makes a recovery too, good to see.

Posted by: Jason Sep 26 2019, 07:26 PM

To be fair, Tiësto's version of Adagio For Strings is not nearly as good as William Orbit's.

My fave Tiësto song is still Red Lights.
Urban Train is amazing too, but I think is very unknown now these days.

Posted by: danG Sep 27 2019, 09:44 AM

120. Da Hool - Meet Her At The Love Parade
1998 | 123 points | [120] | 26th in semi 1

This trance classic enters the chart for the first time, a great addition.

119. Sash! (feat Rodriguez) - Ecuador
1997 | 123 points | [61-x-x-119] | 32nd in semi 2

Sash! are back with their best track although their 3rd highest placing here.

118. Felix - Don't You Want Me
1992 | 124 points | [74-184-123-118] | 32nd in semi 3

This early 90s fave makes a small climb this year having made the top 100 in its first attempt.

117. Sash! (feat LaTrec) - Stay
1997 | 125 points | [53-x-114-x-117] | 31st in semi 2

It's a good year for Sash! as this also returns to the chart just above 'Ecuador'. 'Encore Une Fois' is to come in the final.

116. M/A/R/R/S - Pump Up the Volume
1987 | 125 points | [132-199-184-116] | 30th in semi 3

One of the oldest tracks here and it gains a new peak this year. Not one of my faves but impressive for a 32 year old song.

Posted by: danG Sep 27 2019, 10:36 AM

115. Supermode - Tell Me Why
2006 | 125 points | [91-100-115] | 31st in semi 3

Supermode exit the top 100 but still have two entries to come as part of Swedish House Mafia.

114. Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400
2000 | 125 points | [164-74-114] | 30th in semi 4

Dropping out from the final we have this trance anthem, hopefully it can recover next time.

113. 2 Unlimited - No Limit
1993 | 126 points | [115-x-x-113] | 25th in semi 1

After missing out 2 times and almost being forgotten this year 2 Unlimited are back with their defining hit and at a new peak too just outdoing their debut.

112. DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami
2014 | 127 points | [108-118-174-112] | 29th in semi 4

Continuing to do quite well is one of the defining big room era hits, surprisingly nearly returning to its peak!

111. XTM & DJ Chucky present Annia - Fly On The Wings Of Love
2003 | 128 points | [15-x-x-56-111] | 24th in semi 1

Falling from last time's final is the peak Clubland hit from Annia, and to be fair good as it is it doesn't deserve top 100 of all time (let alone as high as 15th which it achieved in 2013).

Tim Berg (feat Amanda Wilson) - Seek Bromance (Avicii Edit)

Which of these will be able to make this year's top 100 and which will fall short? to be revealed tomorrow.

Posted by: danG Sep 28 2019, 11:48 AM

110. DNA (feat Suzanne Vega) - Tom's Diner
1990 | 129 points | [126-153-110] | 28th in semi 4

This early 90s trip hop gets a new peak but top 100 is still out of reach for now

109. Guru Josh Project - Infinity 2008
2008 | 129 points | [83-109] | 30th in semi 2

Nearly making the final last time, the 'Infinity' rework (and by far the better version) fares similarly but drops out of the top 100.

108. Tim Berg (feat Amanda Wilson) - Seek Bromance (Avicii Edit)
2010 | 130 points | [59-x-102-179-108] | 27th in semi 4

Rebounding this year is Avicii's breakthrough hit 'Seek Bromance', nearly able to make top 100 but he does have a few more songs left in the running.

107. Clean Bandit (feat Demi Lovato) - Solo
2018 | 131 points | [107] | 29th in semi 3

Clean Bandit's big hit of last year gives them another final contender but it fell short this time not to join 'Symphony'. Surprisingly enough it does outdo 'Rather Be' by a fair margin though.

106. Sonique - It Feels So Good
1998 | 128 points | [21-34-106] | 26th in semi 4

A surprise fall from the top 40 where it was for two years for Sonique's biggest hit.

Posted by: Bjork Sep 28 2019, 12:57 PM

oh Sonique is probably my #1 dance song ever

Posted by: danG Sep 29 2019, 05:54 PM

105. Jam & Spoon (feat Plavka) - Right In The Night
1994 | 132 points | [105] | 29th in semi 2

A bit of a surprise here as I didn't think this was very well known, I'm not too familiar with it myself either though having heard it a few times it is quite good.

104. Beats International (feat. Lindy Layton) - Dub Be Good To Me
1990 | 132 points | [178-x-109] | 25th in semi 4

One of the first big dance hits of the 90s and the basis of a not-as-good Professor Green track manages to re-enter this year and at a new peak.

103. David Guetta vs The Egg (feat Chris Willis) - Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)
2006 | 132 points | [103] | 23rd in semi 1

Surprisingly this has yet to enter the chart until this year, one of the best tracks of its year!

102. Avicii (feat Dan Tyminksi) - Hey Brother
2013 | 133 points | [118-136-170-102] | 28th in semi 3

Ugh so close! What will it take for this amazingness to make top 100? Would've made it with one extra point but at least it reaches a new peak this year.

101. Duke Dumont (feat Jax Jones) - I Got U
2014 | 133 points | [73-39-101] | 27th in semi 2

With Jax Jones getting big as ever since this was last run this surprisingly falls from the top 40 just missing this year's top 100 on a tiebreak.

Posted by: Jason Sep 29 2019, 06:08 PM

I'm still surprised Hey Brother wasn't able to make the finals.

Posted by: danG Sep 30 2019, 07:23 PM

100. Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Thru This
2001 | 133 points | [33-29-67-100] | 27th in semi 2

Starting the top 100 is Daniel Bedingfield who just about manages to stay there for a fourth year with possibly his only song that can be considered dance.

099. Kungs vs Cookin' On 3 Burners - This Girl
2016 | 133 points | [35-99] | 26th in semi 2

Losing its recency boost but still hanging into the top 100, though really it should still be top 40! Amazing song.

098. IIO - Rapture
2001 | 133 points | [30-x-x-x-98] | 24th in semi 4

Taking the place of the Nadia Ali/Avicii version in the top 100 this year is the original which returns after missing three times.

097. Galantis - Runaway (U & I)
2015 | 134 points | [55-33-97] | 25th in semi 2

Also taking a tumble from the top 40 is Galantis' breakthrough and signature hit. Great song, shame they aren't even half as good with their new releases.

096. Calvin Harris & Disciples (feat Ina Wroldsen) - How Deep Is Your Love
2015 | 134 points | [87-96] | 24th in semi 2

Calvin & Disciples keep a top 100 position having yet to reach the final, hopefully they can do it someday as it's one of their best tracks.

Posted by: danG Sep 30 2019, 08:05 PM

095. The Prodigy - Breathe
1996 | 134 points | [130-72-90-95] | 23rd in semi 4

The Prodigy narrowly miss the final again with their best song although they do have three songs to come in the final.

094. Benny Bennassi presents The Biz - Satisfaction
2003 | 135 points | [212-x-94] | 27th in semi 3

Making the top 100 for the first time is this banging electro house tune.

093. Strike - U Sure Do
1994 | 135 points | [51-132-171-93] | 22nd in semi 4

A nice enough early 90s dance tune but not one of my faves.

092. Pendulum - Propane Nightmares
2008 | 135 points | [68-86-92] | 21st in semi 4

One of the biggest drum n bass tracks in this chart from Pendulum who are still yet to properly return if they ever will.

091. Black Box - Ride On Time
1989 | 136 points | [87-96] | 23rd in semi 2

Another 80s track but not the highest of them though certainly is one of the best of that decade.

Posted by: danG Oct 1 2019, 08:25 PM

090. Duke Dumont (feat A*M*E) - Need U (100%)
2013 | 136 points | [72-67-62-115-90] | 26th in semi 3

The Duke is back in the top 100 with this as it overtakes 'I Got U'!

089. Sigala (feat Bryn Christopher) - Sweet Lovin'
2015 | 137 points | [13-89] | 25th in semi 3

Losing its recency boost and missing the final this year but still Sigala's 2nd highest song here, the amazing 'Sweet Lovin' which is still his best yet for me.

088. Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme
2004 | 137 points | [29-20-143-185-88] | 24th in semi 3

Making a nice recovery this year after mysteriously bombing in the last two editions after a top 20 peak, one of the best early 00s house tunes so glad to see it.

087. Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound
2012 | 139 points | [43-117-64-103-87] | 23rd in semi 3

Continuing its yoyo run is my personal fave SHM banger. They of course have one more to go in the final but this really should be joining it.

Posted by: danG Oct 1 2019, 08:46 PM

086. Sigma - Nobody To Love
2014 | 139 points | [75-111-238-86] | 22nd in semi 2

Rebounding hard this year but not quite able to reach the final is Sigma's breakout hit and still narrowly their best. It's also their top performing song here with no others of theirs making the chart this year.

085. Rudimental (feat John Newman) - Feel The Love
2012 | 140 points | [12-18-42-57-85] | 22nd in semi 3

Missing out on the top 80 for the first time are Rudimental with their breakout hit. Likewise with Sigma it is their only song in this chart.

084. The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode
1992 | 142 points | [89-x-104-84] | 22nd in semi 1

Jumping to a new peak is this early 90s #1 which is one of the very few in this chart that I don't care for at all oops.

083. Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee)
1999 | 149 points | [71-37-83] | 21st in semi 1

And sadly just missing out on a final place is this which may have got there in a different semi but oh well. A great novelty tune.

Thanks for all your votes in the final, I appreciate it's tough to rank the very best of the very best in all of dance music history but we're in for some very interesting results!

Any predictions are welcome as always, now let's see which songs scored the least amount of final points.

082. Mason vs Princess Superstar - Perfect (Exceeder)
2007 | 61 points | [50-97-157-101-82] | 20th in semi 4 with 137 points

There has to be a last place and it is Mason who takes that spot having just scraped through the semis. It does well to continue its top 200 run into its 5th year however, as one of the defining tracks of the mid 00s electro house era it is deserving of its top 100 place.

081. Au/Ra vs CamelPhat - Panic Room
2018 | 69 points | [81] | 20th in semi 2 with 141 points

One of the more recent tracks here which gets a good first outing, beating 'Cola' (#159) by a fair margin. It is one of my absolute faves of last year and I'm pleased it made it, long may it continue to do well in this.

080. Cascada - Everytime We Touch
2006 | 69 points | [14-24-19-106-80] | 20th in semi 3 with 144 points

Still not quite recovering to the highs it maintained in its first few years but 'Everytime We Touch' returns to the top 100 giving Cascada their sole entry. It's definitely their best track anyhow and one of the best of its subgenre.

079. Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grand - Let Me Think About It
2007 | 70 points | [46-x-131-108-79] | 10th in semi 3 with 180 points

Another mid 00s track here back when Fedde Le Grand was briefly big in the charts, it returns to the top 100 finally after going top 50 in its first outing. The forever underrated 'The Creeps' won't be joining it this year however.

Posted by: danG Oct 2 2019, 10:20 AM

078. Avicii (feat Rita Ora) - Lonely Together
2017 | 72 points | [78] | 21st in semi 3 with 144 points

Avicii's first appearance in the final, and the song was very lucky to get in having been tied for points with 20th position (in following with ROTD tradition, ties were allowed to qualify). It's up there amongst his best tracks so a top 100 position for its first outing is very pleasing, though it really should be higher! He at least has 2 more songs still to come.

077. Dynoro & Gigi D'Agostino - In My Mind
2018 | 74 points | [77] | 17th in semi 3 with 147 points

One of last year's biggest dance smashes and clearly popular with Buzzjack too as it managed to make the final to my surprise. This may well fall once it loses its recency boost but hopefully it can stabilise, it's a tune.

076. Calvin Harris (feat Haim) - Pray to God
2015 | 75 points | [70-114-76] | 14th in semi 2 with 154 points

It may have been one of Calvin's biggest chart underperformances but this has always been loved on Buzzjack, and it rebounds back into the top 100 this year which is great to see as it's one of my faves of his. Hopefully we can get something like this again from him on his next album (if we ever get one).

075. Disclosure (feat Sam Smith) - Latch
2012 | 78 points | [21-17-52-70-75] | 21st in semi 2 with 141 points

The second '21st' finishers here and from a track which has yet to leave the top 75 since the beginning of Ultimate Dance, impressively. It's still one of both act's standout songs however so this is good to see. Some new material in 2020 would be much appreciated.

Posted by: danG Oct 3 2019, 07:40 AM

074. Mylo vs Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure
2005 | 91 points | [79-96-145-88-74] | 19th in semi 1 with 157 points

Mylo just about gets a new peak with this, one of the best dance tracks of the mid 00s.

073. Oliver Heldens (feat Becky Hill) - Gecko (Overdrive)
2014 | 95 points | [68-49-29-73] | 19th in semi 2 with 142 points

Continuing its top 100 run is 'Gecko' which is one of my absolute faves here, the best track by both Oliver and Becky for me.

072. Nero - Promises
2011 | 95 points | [123-117-182-72] | 13th in semi 4 with 158 points

Nero do well this year with this making top 100 for the first time and 'Guilt' still to come too.

071. Otto Knows - Million Voices
2012 | 95 points | [71] | 12th in semi 2 with 172 points

Otto's first appearance in this surprisingly, a long overdue appearance for this.

Posted by: danG Oct 3 2019, 08:06 AM

070. Jax Jones & Martin Solveig present Europa (feat Madison Beer) - All Day and Night
2019 | 96 points | [70] | 4th in semi 3 with 203 points

The 2nd-most recent song in this final and also the highest appearance for both Jax and Martin! As one of the best dance hits of the year I can get behind this going top 100 here already anyhow.

069. Lilly Wood & The Prick & Robin Schulz - Prayer In C (Robin Schulz Remix)
2014 | 97 points | [17-63-69] | 9th in semi 1 with 180 points

This remains another year giving Robin Schulz the first of two final appearances.

068. Clean Bandit (feat Zara Larsson) - Symphony
2017 | 98 points | [68] | 7th in semi 4 with 180 points

Clean Bandit's highest song in this chart and also the winner of the survivor, can't argue with that too as it is their best track.

067. Riva (feat Dannii Minogue) - Who Do You Love Now
2001 | 99 points | [67] | 13th in semi 2 with 162 points

This early 00s trance hit makes the chart for the first time, surprised it's this high as it seems very forgotten now in general.

Posted by: Bjork Oct 3 2019, 08:31 AM

the only loss so far is Pray to God, Calvin Harris at his best although probably not as commercial as usual

Posted by: danG Oct 4 2019, 09:30 PM

066. Calvin Harris & Alesso (feat Hurts) - Under Control
2013 | 107 points | [195-66] | 18th in semi 3 with 147 points

Not the song I expected to be Calvin's 3rd most popular but here it is. Calvin sure knows how to make a banger when he wants to.

065. DJ Quicksilver - Belliissima
1997 | 108 points | [51-65] | 13th in semi 3 with 172 points

Some eurodance now, and this is one of the best of its style too, holding up nicely in the chart here.

064. Kid Cudi vs Crookers - Day 'N' Nite
2009 | 108 points | [167-183-64] | 20th in semi 1 with 151 points

A bit of a surprise finalist but as this song turns ten it enters for the first time, it's got a great wobble in the drop so it can stay.

063. Sash! - Encore Une Fois
1997 | 109 points | [42-x-112-63] | 16th in semi 4 with 156 points

Sash!'s highest track and a good choice too, we love a trancey anthem.

Posted by: danG Oct 6 2019, 09:07 AM

062. Audio Bullys (feat Nancy Sinatra) - Shot You Down
2005 | 110 points | [62] | 19th in semi 3 with 144 points

Entering for the first time are Audio Bullys with their big Bang Bang reworking.

061. Daft Punk - Around The World
1997 | 110 points | [28-125-x-136-61] | 10th in semi 2 with 175 points

Daft Punk's 2nd highest entry here with the repetitive yet great 'Around The World'.

060. Tori Amos - Professional Widow (Armand Van Helden Remix)
1997 | 111 points | [60-161-138-60] | 12th in semi 1 with 171 points

Re-peaking this year is Tori Amos with what I think is her only dance hit thanks to Armand van Helden on the remix.

059. Edward Maya (feat Vika Jigulina) - Stereo Love
2010 | 113 points | [09-23-59] | 10th in semi 4 with 172 points

A former top ten here, it doesn't do as well this time but it's another good year for 'Stereo Love', which is one of the few songs from 2010 that has aged very well.

Posted by: dandy* Oct 6 2019, 09:15 AM

Tori does have another dance hit, Blue Skies with BT but it is far less well known - I think it did make the charts though. Also, her single Raspberry Swirl is quite dance leaning if anyone is interested in listening

Posted by: danG Oct 6 2019, 11:44 AM

058. DJ Sammy & Yanou (feat Do) - Heaven
2002 | 114 points | [03-06-01-42-58] | 15th in semi 2 with 150 points

Proving that last year wasn't just a fluke for the former winner, 'Heaven' continues its decline this year. It is rather good but doesn't deserve to be anywhere near first place anyhow.

057. Basshunter (feat DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz) - Now You're Gone
2008 | 115 points | [62-57] | 18th in semi 1 with 163 points

Another eurodance track and this time the massive #1 from Basshunter, his best song by some way.

056. The Chemical Brothers (feat Q-Tip) - Galvanize
2005 | 116 points | [37-31-56] | 8th in semi 3 with 184 points

They still have one more to go but this one in my opinion is their best. It departs the top 40 after two times there.

055. Lasgo - Something
2002 | 116 points | [84-93-x-55-55] | 16th in semi 3 with 153 points

Another eurodance smash and the best one of this section too, it's one of the few non-movers we have in the chart.

Posted by: danG Oct 6 2019, 11:58 AM

054. Tomcraft - Loneliness
2003 | 118 points | [41-66-122-121-54] | 15th in semi 1 with 165 points

Bouncing back this year is Tomcraft with his one hit, one of the biggest and best of the commercial trance era of the early 00s!

053. Ian Van Dahl - Castles In The Sky
2001 | 119 points | [33-21-23-40-53] | 14th in semi 1 with 166 points

Dropping out of the top 40 for the first time is another track of that era, another great one too.

052. The Prodigy - Out Of Space
1992 | 120 points | [99-x-45-25-52] | 8th in semi 2 with 189 points

The Prodigy's 3rd highest track this year 'Out Of Space' also falls out of the top 40 but they could have 'No Good' in its place (with 'Firestarter' potentially remaining also).

051. Klingande - Jubel
2014 | 121 points | [70-31-132-51] | 18th in semi 2 with 145 points

Rebounding hard this year is 'Jubel' with its great saxophone, good to see!

I've just noticed now that Gala-Freed From Desire is missing...was she even nominated

Posted by: dandy* Oct 6 2019, 03:17 PM

Great to see Enigma remaining

Posted by: coi Oct 6 2019, 03:26 PM

Freed From Desire was nominated but somehow didn't get enough votes to reach the semis! It only received 7 votes in its round, it needed 8.

Posted by: danG Oct 7 2019, 08:24 AM

050. Rihanna (feat Calvin Harris) - We Found Love
2011 | 125 points | [01-02-61-50] | 16th in semi 1 with 164 points

Rebounding a bit but still nowhere near the highs of first place that it reached on its first outing, it's the highest appearance for Rihanna and 2nd highest for Calvin this year with this absolute tune.

049. Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now
1999 | 125 points | [77-x-32-12-49] | 11th in semi 2 with 175 points

Falling hard out the top 40 this year is Fatboy Slim's most popular track here by some way, which I can't argue with.

048. Avicii vs Nicky Romero (feat Noonie Bao) - I Could Be The One
2013 | 126 points | [34-43-39-24-48-] | 6th in semi 2 with 196 points

Continuing its perfect top 50 run although sadly halving its position is the amazing 'I Could Be The One'. Avicii still has one track left in the running.

047. Scooter - The Logical Song
2002 | 133 points | [86-x-x-177-47] | 14th in semi 3 with 171 points

This makes a huge jump this year, not sure how or why but it is a right banger.

Posted by: dandy* Oct 7 2019, 10:30 AM

Surprised that We Found Love hasn't done better again, I always thought it was revered on here!

Fatboy Slim is the highlight of that bunch for me, although I personally prefer quite a few others of his.

Posted by: dobbo Oct 7 2019, 02:05 PM

Yes for the logical song resurgence! If only the even more amazing nessaja was as liked.

Posted by: coi Oct 7 2019, 02:44 PM

More recognition for How Much Is The Fish too pls tbh

Posted by: danG Oct 7 2019, 04:13 PM

046. Eric Prydz - Call On Me
2004 | 133 points | [14-41-43-46] | 15th in semi 3 with 159 points

Eric Prydz' massive hit continues its top 50 run, and when it comes to 80s sample based house it doesn't get any better than this!

045. Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes
2004 | 136 points | [45] | 17th in semi 2 with 150 points

A surprise new entry for this mid 00s trance hit, good to see this get some recognition.

044. David Guetta (feat Sia) - Titanium
2011 | 137 points | [06-04-11-38-44] | 11th in semi 1 with 178 points

Sadly this leaves the top 40 for the first time but it had a great run and it's undeniably the best track put to Guetta's name (and also his highest entry here).

043. N-Trance (feat Kelly Llorenna) - Set You Free
1994 | 137 points | [01-05-06-50-43] | 15th in semi 4 with 157 points

Another former winner exits having also taken a surprise dive last time this was ran. Another good 90s track but not a huge fave of mine.

Posted by: danG Oct 8 2019, 04:44 PM

042. Example - Changed the Way You Kissed Me
2011 | 138 points | [71-48-21-42] | 5th in semi 3 with 194 points

Example's biggest hit and a right banger back in the peak era of drop heavy EDM pop. It does well to have a third consecutive top 50 appearance.

041. Corona - Rhythm Of The Night
1994 | 139 points | [36-07-30-41-41] | 12th in semi 4 with 160 points

Continuing a perfect top 50 run is one of the biggest dance tracks of the 90s from Corona, unlucky enough to be placed 41st for a second time.

040. Safri Duo - Played A-Live (The Bongo Song)
2001 | 140 points | [145-x-142-40] | 5th in semi 4 with 193 points

This chart is full of surprises and another one starts the top 40, rising over 100 places. The song certainly stands out with it making a big feature of bongos anyhow.

039. Sigala & Becky Hill - Wish You Well
2019 | 142 points | [39] | 6th in semi 4 with 189 points

The most recent track in the chart and one that only recently left the UK top 40, doing very well to replace 'Sweet Lovin' as Sigala's sole top 40 entry here. It's certainly one of the best dance tracks to come out of this year though, and hopefully it will hold up well in time too.

Posted by: dobbo Oct 8 2019, 04:51 PM

YES at Safri Duo one of the greatest trance songs.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Oct 8 2019, 04:53 PM

Surprised at Wish You Well being so high I don't really rate it compared to some of his others.

Posted by: danG Oct 8 2019, 05:00 PM

038. Mr. Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix)
2014 | 143 points | [53-25-189-38] | 8th in semi 3 with 173 points

An absolute fave of mine proving its performance in IV was just unlucky rushes back into the top 40... where it belongs!

037. Porter Robinson (feat Heather Bright) - Language
2012 | 143 points | [100-x-53-126-37] | 17th in semi 4 with 153 points

Another big fave, and whilst we keenly await new Porter Robinson music this finally makes its way into the top 40.

036. Nero - Guilt
2011 | 144 points | [91-x-x-98-36] | 18th in semi 4 with 148 points

This section is full of tracks rushing into the top 40 and we have another one from Nero at their best, great to see this getting some recognition this year.

035. Delerium (feat Sarah McLachlan) - Silence
1999/2000 | 144 points | [186-35] | 14th in semi 4 with 157 points

And finally a trance classique (I'm going by the Tiësto remix though I've left it tag-less as there were a few popular versions of this), surprisingly this never even made the top 100 before but it's now got the high peak it deserves. One of the best vocals on a trance record ever too.

Posted by: danG Oct 8 2019, 05:24 PM

034. Culture Beat - Mr Vain
1993 | 147 points | [120-x-x-34] | 7th in semi 3 with 187 points

Another surprise top 40 entry, not sure where the sudden love for this came from really.

033. The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance)
1994 | 150 points | [58-34-x-54-33] | 16th in semi 2 with 150 points

The Prodigy are back in the top 40 with this which is now their 2nd most popular song on Buzzjack Dance. It really should be 'Breathe' here instead tbh.

032. Martin Garrix - Animals
2013 | 150 points | [91-22-19-32] | 7th in semi 2 with 194 points

Another year in the top 40 for Martin Garrix with his breakthrough hit which he still hasn't bettered despite his huge prominence in EDM ever since.

031. PPK - Resurection
2001 | 152 points | [45-x-x-110-31] | 3rd in semi 3 with 211 points

Now this is a surprise top 40 entry I can get behind, a proper trance classic and one unlike the other big trance hits of the time with its spacey theme.

Posted by: Addy K!ng Oct 8 2019, 09:36 PM

Haddaway FTTop10!!!

Posted by: Tones and Iz Oct 9 2019, 12:26 AM

Love seeing ResuRection do so well, it's such a unique-sounding track and has always captivated me.

Posted by: danG Oct 9 2019, 08:48 PM

030. Olive - You're Not Alone
1996 | 152 points | [27-32-46-65-34] | 12th in semi 3 with 173 points

Another track with a perfect top 100 run and back in the top 40 this year for this lovely 90s dance track.

029. Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You
1998 | 153 points | [29-27-08-29] | 9th in semi 3 with 182 points

Dropping from the top 10 this year for this infectious house track but doing well to stay top 30 for four consecutive times.

028. Pendulum - Watercolour
2010 | 156 points | [171-196-28] | 17th in semi 1 with 164 points

A massive jump for Pendulum this year surprisingly but with their best song.

027. Chicane (feat Maire Brennan) - Saltwater
1999 | 161 points | [27] | 3rd in semi 2 with 223 points

Another big surprise as this trance classic enters for the first time and well inside the top 40!

Posted by: dobbo Oct 9 2019, 10:02 PM

YES Watercolour! Love those other 3 as well.

Posted by: coi Oct 9 2019, 10:05 PM

Fantastic to see Watercolour and Resurection climbing so high! Glad that Animals, Language and Waves (and most of these tbf!) are in the top 40 as well.

Posted by: lewistgreen Oct 9 2019, 10:09 PM

I am stunned and in awe that Enigma and New Order are still to be announced

Posted by: Chez Wombat Oct 9 2019, 10:11 PM

What on earth is that random Sigala song doing in the top 40, it's been around five minutes His two actual enduring hits were robbed.

Fantastic looking top 30 though, literally love them all. I'm really surprised Watercolour has suddenly gained a big following on here, but I've always liked it so good to see! (As if that's almost ten years old)

Posted by: Dircadirca Oct 10 2019, 07:58 AM

ouch, if the voting were done a month later I might have voted for it, having gotten into it lately

Posted by: dobbo Oct 10 2019, 01:47 PM

I used to love Freed From Desire but the whole Will Grigg thing killed it for me. Was funny at the time but now is a total cringesfest which unfortunately means I skip the original all the time now.

Posted by: dobbo Oct 10 2019, 01:48 PM

And yes it is laughable that Sigala song making the top 40 GREATEST DANCE SONGS OF ALL TIME.

Posted by: danG Oct 10 2019, 04:09 PM

admittedly that is quite annoying. even NOW when a DJ plays the song the crowd will without fail sing 'Will Grigg's on Fire'.

Posted by: danG Oct 10 2019, 08:16 PM

026. Chase & Status (feat Plan B) - End Credits
2009 | 169 points | [39-x-98-89-26] | 11th in semi 4 with 161 points

Chase & Status leap back into the top 40 where they haven't been since 2013 proving themselves to have Buzzjack's fave drum n' bass hit narrowly ahead of Pendulum.

025. Swedish House Mafia (feat John Martin) - Don't You Worry Child
2012 | 170 points | [20-12-06-27-25] | 7th in semi 1 with 187 points

Doing very well again to continue a perfect top 30 run it's Swedish House Mafia with what is still their most recent song... despite having reformed a while ago. Pleasing to see anyhow.

024. Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone
2009 | 170 points | [47-35-x-125-24] | 2nd in semi 4 with 221 points

Calvin Harris' most popular song this year is no longer 'We Found Love' but his first solo #1 hit which shoots up over 100 places, perhaps helped by the recent CamelPhat remix giving it a second lease of life.

023. Avicii (feat Etta James) - Levels
2011 | 172 points | [44-45-84-32-23] | 4th in semi 1 with 224 points

Avicii continues to climb to new levels with 'Levels', once again his highest song in the countdown. As my favourite song here this is great to see!

Posted by: danG Oct 10 2019, 08:53 PM

022. Enigma - Sadeness (Part I)
1990 | 173 points | [22] | 11th in semi 3 with 174 points

One of the biggest surprises of this chart now, with this becoming the year's highest new entry, the first entry for Enigma. Oops at my least fave of the final just beating my fave of the final tho.

021. Fragma (feat Coco) - Toca's Miracle
2000 | 175 points | [28-20-07-21] | 6th in semi 1 with 205 points

Dropping back to the 20s after one time in the top ten are Fragma with their trance anthem (which annoyingly is only available on Spotify in its 'Toca Me' form).

020. Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer
1992 | 176 points | [09-15-08-14-20] | 5th in semi 1 with 217 points

Just hanging on to a top 20 spot to complete a perfect top 20 run are Snap! with one of the very best early 90s dance anthems.

019. Haddaway - What Is Love
1993 | 177 points | [32-31-66-59-19] | 13th in semi 1 with 168 points

And another of those appears at #19, and surprisingly this is only its first top 20 appearance but deservingly for another iconic dance tune (although it's still far from my personal top 20 dance faves).

Posted by: Addy K!ng Oct 11 2019, 01:13 AM

Yes at all of them omg...the best bunch so far

Posted by: danG Oct 12 2019, 08:55 AM

018. The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl
1999 | 179 points | [55-x-34-48-18] | 19th in semi 4 with 147 points

In the top 20 for the first time are The Chemical Brothers with what is their most streamed hit.

017. Roger Sanchez - Another Chance
2001 | 179 points | [17-03-59-17-17] | 8th in semi 1 with 183 points

A non-mover and at #17 for a third time, proving again to be one of Buzzjack's top rated house anthems.

016. The Prodigy - Firestarter
1996 | 189 points | [87-99-26-09-16] | 5th in semi 2 with 207 points

Dropping from the top 10 but still holding up well are The Prodigy with their first #1 hit.

015. Livin' Joy - Dreamer
1994 | 192 points | [38-22-115-30-15] | 9th in semi 2 with 178 points

This dance classic gets a new peak to start the top 15.

Posted by: Bjork Oct 12 2019, 09:36 AM

all my big favourites made it in the 25-50 section
Delerium-Silence, Olive, Played-a-live and the lost classic that is Motorcycle - And the rush comes <3

Posted by: danG Oct 12 2019, 10:06 AM

014. Everything But The Girl - Missing (Todd Terry Remix)
1995 | 198 points | [26-24-04-14] | 10th in semi 1 with 178 points

Falling from the top 10 is the great house reworking of 'Missing' which was a huge hit.

013. Daft Punk - One More Time
2000 | 198 points | [22-25-51-18-13] | 2nd in semi 3 with 222 points

This is once again their most popular single on Buzzjack and climbs five places. Maybe it could finally go top ten when they eventually release new material.

012. ATB - 9PM (Till I Come)
1999 | 210 points | [23-16-33-11-12] | 3rd in semi 4 with 219 points

Just outside the top 10 again is ATB with his massive breakthrough hit although it's only the 7th highest trance track here!

011. Dario G - Sunchyme
1997 | 224 points | [26-44-12-28-11] | 4th in semi 2 with 210 points

Just missing the top 10 and on tiebreak is Dario G's big uplifting house track.

Posted by: King Rollo Oct 12 2019, 10:17 AM

That's a great top 10 we are left with. The only ones I didn't vote for are 'Faded' and 'Better Off Alone' but I like those two as well.

Posted by: dobbo Oct 12 2019, 10:34 AM

Oh NOOO at Sunchyme being THAT close </3 at least there was nothing more I could have done (well, save for potentially giving that track in 10th fewer points).

Faded in the top 10 is a joke but can't argue against the appearance of the others. I find Sandstorm & Insomnia overrated for the genre but still iconic of course and I've never been a fan of Unfinished Symphony (Teardrop >>>). Blue Monday as well is never something I actively listen to.

Better Off Alone & Touch Me are the best left to come.

Posted by: lewistgreen Oct 12 2019, 11:00 AM

Dan I’m disappointed you don’t like Sadeness but yay for it getting so far! Ngl that is a STRONG Top 10

Posted by: coi Oct 12 2019, 11:05 AM

We really do have a strong top ten here, LOVE six of them very much and there isn't one I dislike!

Posted by: Bjork Oct 12 2019, 11:08 AM

oh too bad ATB missed, deserved top10 imho

Posted by: Bjork Oct 12 2019, 11:09 AM

Rui de Silva to somehow win, wasn't expecting people to also like this song

Posted by: dobbo Oct 12 2019, 11:11 AM

Really? It's the only #1 left on this & is widely adored on this website!

Posted by: danG Oct 12 2019, 10:19 PM

010. DJ Jurgen presents Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone
1999 | 224 points | [02-02-10-06-10] | 2nd in semi 2 with 242 points

Just about continuing its perfect top 10 run is eurotrance anthem 'Better Off Alone' - only 'Sandstorm' also has one. Great to see!



009. Alan Walker (feat Iselin Solheim) - Faded
2016 | 225 points | [26-09] | 1st in semi 3 with 241 points

The highest track from the 2010s here and by some distance, no other track from this decade made the top 20! It's definitely one of the best dance hits of the decade anyhow, surprised it's this high though!

Posted by: Addy K!ng Oct 12 2019, 10:29 PM

Yeah Faded feels just about 40 places too high lol...it doesn't even compare to the rest of top 40 and let alone top 10, but that's just my opinion.

I hope Insomnia or Touch Me wins <3

Posted by: dobbo Oct 12 2019, 10:34 PM

I can happily accept Suchyme losing out to Better Off Alone. They are truly 2 of the ELITE.

Posted by: lewistgreen Oct 12 2019, 10:38 PM

So happy Faded made Top 10, it’s definitely up there as an all time fave for me. Definitely doing a playlist of this Top 50 when it’s complete

Posted by: Chez Wombat Oct 12 2019, 10:49 PM

I mean if there's any 2010s track that deserves to be top 10 here, it's Faded, still absolutely beautiful and a triumph of the genre in recent years

(Though I would've admittedly preferred Sunchyme or One More Time in the top 10 in its place </3)

Posted by: Tones and Iz Oct 13 2019, 12:53 AM

Faded is class and will undoubtedly hold up, in all honesty my favourite of this top 10, with Better Off Alone just behind it so shame they’re out first, within this top 10 at least.

Sunchyme should have been in the top 10 too, I’d have put it in over ‘Touch Me’, never really rated that one so high.

Posted by: coi Oct 13 2019, 08:25 AM

Fantastic performance for Alan Walker, really glad he made it up there!

Posted by: danG Oct 13 2019, 10:05 AM

008. William Orbit - Barbers Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten Remix)
1999 | 228 points | [35-72-x-82-08] | 3rd in semi 1 with 225 points

We have a top 10 clear-out this year with a few songs having massive jumps in, two of them are in this section. Firstly the amazing 'Barbers Adagio For Strings', originally a classical piece but turned into a trance anthem thanks to one of the genre's legends Ferry Corsten. More known by the Tiësto version that followed but it's this that has always been more popular on Buzzjack. A surprising top 10 inclusion but can't complain with it being here.



007. Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
1991 | 250 points | [13-x-28-157-07] | 9th in semi 4 with 173 points

Continuing its yoyo chart run by climbing 150 places this year, it's not what you'd typically think of as a dance anthem but it fits the genre and is great too. The string arrangement particularly, these two songs prove dance songs could always use some strings.

Posted by: King Rollo Oct 13 2019, 10:26 AM

Great to see those two so high. Unfinished Sympathy is definitely Massive Attack's best song.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Oct 13 2019, 10:42 AM

Some great songs; Faded does feel a little out of place IMO.

Shame Better off Alone is out; playing that alot recently, similarly Adagio for Strings is an absolute banger.

Posted by: JackJones Oct 13 2019, 11:15 AM

So Sandstorm will lose again to some shit. WTF. Some people truly should be banned. What is wrong?

Posted by: dobbo Oct 13 2019, 11:17 AM

I prefer the Tiesto remix myself (just the one I'm more accustomed to) but Barber's is a classic of course.

Unfinished Sympathy (only a few years ago I realised it was called that and not Unfinished Symphony lol) is overrated imo.

Posted by: danG Oct 13 2019, 11:26 AM

It's still in the running and could finally make #1 this year.

Posted by: danG Oct 13 2019, 11:34 AM

006. Rui Da Silva (feat Cassandra) - Touch Me
2001 | 252 points | [48-50-16-06] | 6th in semi 3 with 193 points

Making top 10 for the first time is one hit wonder Rui Da Silva with what is still only the fifth highest trance classic in this chart! I wouldn't rank it near this high myself but still I love it.



005. New Order - Blue Monday
1983/1988 | 254 points | [69-110-20-05] | 4th in semi 4 with 215 points

And here's a surprise, a song as old as 1983 makes it as high as fifth this time around after making a big jump to the top 20. It's certainly a classic anyhow and very influential as one of the first electronic dance tracks to be a big chart hit.



This means we have four songs left, including the current title holder 'Insomnia' but can it reach #1 again?

• Darude - Sandstorm
• Faithless - Insomnia
• Robert Miles - Children
• Underworld - Born Slippy NUXX

Great to see some massive jumps for William Orbit and Rui Da Silva!

Posted by: lewistgreen Oct 13 2019, 11:45 AM

Underworld to win please

Posted by: dobbo Oct 13 2019, 12:05 PM

Touch Me is an absolute stunner, muchly deserved position!

Of the final 4 I rank them:
Children
Born Slippy
Insomnia
Sandstorm


Sandstorm has lost its charm on me with all the memes. Insomnia is good but takes too long to get going. Born Slippy I actually used to dislike but really enjoy it now. But Children is in another league, a special song.

Posted by: coi Oct 13 2019, 12:11 PM

Glad to see Blue Monday top five, it really is one of the greatest 80s tracks!

Superb choice of top four to come as well, I included three of them in my vote!

Posted by: Bjork Oct 13 2019, 12:16 PM

yay for Touch Me being so high
out of the 4 left I prefer Born Slippy followed by Children but all 4 are classics.

I also prefer the Tiesto version of Adagio for Strings... also great to have Massive Attack giving some diversity to the top 10

Posted by: King Rollo Oct 13 2019, 12:28 PM

Blue Monday got my 30 points. I'm pleasantly surprised to see it finish as high as 5th place.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Oct 13 2019, 03:01 PM

Hoping for a Sandstorm or Children win from those 4

Posted by: JackJones Oct 13 2019, 05:48 PM

I know my math.

Posted by: danG Oct 13 2019, 05:55 PM

004. Faithless - Insomnia
1995 | 254 points | [05-11-15-01-04] | 1st in semi 1 with 290 points

Faithless do very well once again but are kicked off #1 this year continuing the feat of every edition of Ultimate Dance having a different #1. Great to see this in the top 5 again anyhow, amazing song.



003. Darude - Sandstorm
2000 | 267 points | [04-10-03-02-03] | 1st in semi 2 with 274 points

Unlucky for Darude as it is his third consecutive top 3 appearance without having won. A very deserved chart run though, really love this song too.



Which means one of these is Buzzjack's Ultimate Dance song, make your final predictions now!

• Robert Miles - Children
• Underworld - Born Slippy NUXX

Posted by: coi Oct 13 2019, 05:55 PM

Sandstorm robbed

Posted by: dobbo Oct 13 2019, 05:58 PM

Oh that's the correct top 2 from that 4 really didn't expect to see Underworld this high up!

Children for the win then.

Posted by: gavindeejay Oct 13 2019, 06:06 PM

Children to win please!

Posted by: Bjork Oct 13 2019, 06:29 PM

correct top 2 then out of those 4
both are 11/10 songs, but might like Born Slippy slightly slightly more

Posted by: lewistgreen Oct 13 2019, 07:54 PM

OMG happy with either winning this tbh, Sandstorm is overrated

Posted by: coi Oct 13 2019, 07:55 PM

No

Posted by: Jester Oct 13 2019, 08:08 PM

Great top 2. Some odd top 10 picks though (Sandstorm is very average and wtf at Faded!!)

Posted by: JackJones Oct 13 2019, 08:19 PM

When the gays have no taste

Posted by: danG Oct 13 2019, 08:34 PM

002. Underworld - Born Slippy NUXX
1996 | 300 points | [07-08-13-03-02] | 2nd in semi 1 with 240 points

Rising a spot to #2 this year are Underworld with their trance meets techno banger 'Born Slippy NUXX' which initially got big after being used in Trainspotting but has held up as a proper dance classic and we've never had a hit like this since. Definitely a track I can support remaining so high in this chart.



Which means Buzzjack's ULTIMATE DANCE SONG of all time goes to...

001. Robert Miles - Children
1996 | 312 points | [11-09-04-05-01] | 1st in semi 4 with 290 points

However this year it is Robert Miles who claims the fifth title of Ultimate Dance with his signature hit 'Children', which popularised 'dream trance'. Impressively it is the first completely instrumental track to make #1 after 'Sandstorm' just missed out to 'Insomnia' last time this was ran. Anyhow this is a very worthy winner, though I'd have been very happy with any of the top four winning this is a real beauty of a song.

Thanks for voting and following again. I'll once again give a plug to the Spotify playlist which features every available track that was nominated, it has almost two whole days worth of dance anthems!

Can we all just take a moment to give a huge thanks to Dan for putting in so much effort with this I certainly wouldn’t have had the time #flopmod

Posted by: coi Oct 13 2019, 08:44 PM

Absolutely, Dan has done a great job of hosting this!

Posted by: King Rollo Oct 13 2019, 09:05 PM

Yes,thanks for all that work Dan. I would have preferred Born Slippy to win out of the last two but Children is a great tune.

Posted by: gavindeejay Oct 13 2019, 09:43 PM

Yes absolutely well done Dan for your time and effort in putting this together. It’s been great to follow and looking forward to ultimate 2010’s Dance already!

Great winner and definitely one of the best dance anthems of all time. It’s a shame Robert Miles only had about a handful of hits and of course a shame he’s no longer with us.

Posted by: Wicked Wombat of the West Oct 13 2019, 09:53 PM

That whole top 5 are all amongst my favourite ever songs, really couldn't be happier with that result, I may need to take a listen to that playlist as that top 10 coming on in a row is just bliss. Children is a wonderful winner, a beautiful melody that still gives me chills.

Thank you for the excellent effort with this, Dan (I'm sorry I was so late to the party with it, I could've got Freed From Desire through :'()

Posted by: ElectroBoy Oct 13 2019, 10:11 PM

Oooh nice; out of the top 2 I'm glad Children won!

Thanks for running

Posted by: Tones and Iz Oct 14 2019, 02:20 AM

I... rather like Children but I think I'd have preferred Born Slippy, Sandstorm or Insomnia if I'm honest, no surprise at all though. Great job running this all Dan!

Posted by: Jester Oct 14 2019, 01:26 PM

Thanks Dan!

Posted by: danG Oct 19 2019, 10:08 AM

Top 205 only playlist.

Posted by: Bjork Oct 19 2019, 10:20 AM

thanks looking forward to listening to this in sequence

Posted by: coi Oct 19 2019, 10:21 AM

Thanks very much for posting that, I'll certainly give that a complete listen soon.

Posted by: dobbo Oct 19 2019, 10:32 AM

Oh yes thanks very much for running this Dan, always appreciated!

Posted by: Bréxit Oct 19 2019, 08:35 PM

That top 2 !!! (the entire top 5 and most of the top 10 is great stuff but the top 2 in particular are definitely among my all time favourites). I'd have preferred Underworld to take it but it's a fantastic result either way, perhaps they can get there at last the next time this is done based on their consistently good results so far x

Thanks for all the efforts running this Dan even though I mostly forgot about / couldn't muster the energy to vote in most of the rounds
