October 12, 20195 yr 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.
October 12, 20195 yr 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.
October 12, 20195 yr Dan I’m disappointed you don’t like Sadeness :( but yay for it getting so far! Ngl that is a STRONG Top 10
October 12, 20195 yr We really do have a strong top ten here, LOVE six of them very much and there isn't one I dislike!
October 12, 20195 yr Author 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! lHjNmyzrVvM 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! 60ItHLz5WEA
October 12, 20195 yr 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
October 12, 20195 yr I can happily accept Suchyme losing out to Better Off Alone. They are truly 2 of the ELITE.
October 12, 20195 yr 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
October 12, 20195 yr 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 :wub: (Though I would've admittedly preferred Sunchyme or One More Time in the top 10 in its place </3)
October 13, 20195 yr 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.
October 13, 20195 yr Author 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. yNcdVuPVXR0 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. ZWmrfgj0MZI
October 13, 20195 yr Great to see those two so high. Unfinished Sympathy is definitely Massive Attack's best song.
October 13, 20195 yr 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.
October 13, 20195 yr So Sandstorm will lose again to some shit. WTF. Some people truly should be banned. What is wrong? Edited October 13, 20195 yr by JackJones
October 13, 20195 yr 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.
October 13, 20195 yr Author So Sandstorm will lose again to some shit. WTF. Some people truly should be banned. What is wrong? It's still in the running and could finally make #1 this year. :P
