Posted July 29, 20177 yr Whilst we're revisiting 00s dance in the chart forum, it's time we ranked the biggest dance hits of the 2000s. The top 15 best-selling dance songs of each year in the UK have been selected, simply rank them from +15 (favourite) to +01 (least favourite) and the top four of each group will be put into a grand final. The deadline will be set for next Saturday. 2004 There weren't too many massive dance hits in 2004 which means some smaller hits like 'Give It Away' and 'Mass Destruction' get to make it in the year-end list. We do have a few #1s though from the novelty ('Babycakes', 'Cha Cha Slide') to the house anthems ('Call On Me', 'Take Me To The Clouds Above'). Other big house hits include 'The Weekend', 'Flashdance' and 'Somebody To Love' whilst we still have a little bit of eurodance from 'Do You Know' and 'Come With Me'. 3 Of A Kind - Babycakes Angel City - Do You Know (I Go Crazy) Boogie Pimps - Somebody To Love Deep Dish - Flashdance Deepest Blue - Give It Away DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide Eric Prydz - Call On Me Faithless - Mass Destruction George Michael - Flawless (Go To The City) LMC vs. U2 - Take Me To The Clouds Above Michael Gray - The Weekend Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme Special D - Come With Me Stonebridge feat.

July 29, 20177 yr +15: Special D - Come With Me [amazing eurodance anthem, one of the best of its kind] +14: 3 Of A Kind - Babycakes [loved it then, still love it now, among the best 1 hit wonders ever!] +13: Boogie Pimps - Somebody To Love [one of the better covers in this timeframe] +12: Stonebridge feat. Therese - Put 'Em High +11: Michael Gray - The Weekend [that video tho] +10: LMC vs. U2 - Take Me To The Clouds Above +09: Eric Prydz - Call On Me +08: DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide [only worth hearing in the clubs, then it's incred, forget the macarina...] +07: Deep Dish - Flashdance [very unique song in amongst all of these others] +06: Faithless - Mass Destruction +05: Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme [liked it at the time but never really return to it these days] +04: Deepest Blue - Give It Away [a huge comedown after one of my all time faves, their debut single] +03: Angel City - Do You Know (I Go Crazy) [repeating 3 words over an all-time trance classic? no thanks...] +02: Uniting Nations - Out Of Touch [awful cover imo] +01: George Michael - Flawless (Go To The City) [flawless? couldn't be more flawed if it tried...]

July 29, 20177 yr +15 - Deepest Blue - Give It Away (great deep house tune I really liked at the time) +14 - Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme (great uplifting dance song) +13 - Uniting Nations - Out Of Touch (this probs won't get through sadly but I defintiely prefer this looped house tune to Call On Me) +12 - Stonebridge feat. Therese - Put 'Em High (Great funky house tune) +11 -Angel City - Do You Know (I Go Crazy) (Like this vocal version of Robert Miles' Children) +10 - Deep Dish - Flashdance (this did very well at the time considering it has a less commercial sound to most of these) +9 - Special D - Come With Me (this is good but Basshunter did this genre a bit better imo with 'Now You're Gone') +8 - LMC vs. U2 - Take Me To The Clouds Above (good emotional dance ballad) +7 -George Michael - Flawless (Go To The City) (better than the original) +6 - Eric Prydz - Call On Me (well this started the mid 00s looped 80s remixes trend!) +5 -DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide (good tune that still gets played a lot at parties and the like) +4 - Faithless - Mass Destruction (I like the vocal on this, wish it was more dancey though) +3 - 3 Of A Kind - Babycakes (decent tune) +2 - Michael Gray - The Weekend (I prefer Borderline by Michael Gray and Shelley Poole to this) +1 - Boogie Pimps - Somebody To Love (the later 80s remixes were better imo, the repeated 'don't you want want' is a bit annoying imo

August 4, 20177 yr +15 Eric Prydz - Call On Me [10.0] (classic.) +14 Faithless - Mass Destruction [10.0] ("Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction". Maxi Jazz has a brilliant voice. My favourites from this group are Insomnia, We Come 1, God Is A DJ, this song, Muhammad Ali, Salva Mea and Reverence) +13 Boogie Pimps - Somebody To Love [10.0] ("When the truth is found to be lies. And all of the joy within you dies. Don't you want somebody to love. Don't you need somebody to love. Won't you love somebody to love. You gotta find somebody to love". This is one of the first songs I remember hearing. It was some mp3 file I stumbled upon on a computer in my old house. I found out it was Somebody To Love when the original Jefferson Airplane version was played on a road trip I attended from long ago.) +12 The Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme [10.0] +11 Michael Gray - The Weekend [10.0] (I, too, can't wait for the weekend to begin. You're not the only one) +10 Deepest Blue - Give It Away [9.5] +9 Deep Dish - Flashdance [9.5] +8 Stonebridge feat. Therese - Put 'Em High [9.5] +7 George Michael - Flawless (Go To The City) [9.5] (My favourites from him are Faith, Fastlove, Too Funky, I Want Your Sex, Star People '97, Freeek, Shoot The Dog, Outside and a lot of his Wham! material) +6 Special D - Come With Me [9.5] +5 Uniting Nations - Out Of Touch [9.5] +4 3 Of A Kind - Babycakes (guilty pleasure) [9.0] +3 LMC vs. U2 - Take Me To The Clouds Above [8.5] +2 DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide [8.5] (another guilty pleasure. "To the left, take it back now yo.") +1 Angel City - Do You Know (I Go Crazy) [7.5] (Note: This track samples the 1996 Robert Miles hit Children)

August 20, 20177 yr StoneBridge is easily the best qualifier there. The top 2 are good tracks but a bit overrated in general. Flashdance is a surprise for me! Would have preferred Somebody To Love but I do like both.
