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.
