ULTIMATE DANCE 2010s // 2018

The 9th Round: 2018

Slowly getting there!

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.

As ever what constitutes as dance is a fine line (especially the case for this year) 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. There's quite a few songs here that are really more pop than dance but we'd have very few songs left if I removed all those so I've largely based it on what forum the song would've been discussed in.

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, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. These rounds are all still open.
