ULTIMATE DANCE 2010s // 2012

The 3rd Round: 2012

This last decade has been brilliant for dance music and now that it's well and truly over it's about time we went through it and decide which tunes are the best! Unlike regular Ultimate Dance which ran last year, only songs released in the 2010s will be eligible. As it is a decade-only edition the rounds will be split into years. We move on to 2012 which was the year Calvin Harris had two #1s with Florence as well as a #1 album in 18 Months.

As ever what constitutes as dance is a fine line so I may have made an error of judgement, if there's a track you think should or shouldn't be on here then let me know.

You may vote for up to 20 songs, made up of the year's UK top 100 hits that fit the dance genre. The top 5 will auto-qualify to the final and the remainder of the top 20 will go to the semi-finals.

If you haven't already, make sure to also vote in 2010 and 2011.

2013 will open next week.
