Aloe Blacc – SOS 158 Duke Dumont – Won't Look Back 157 Avicii – Silhouettes What an amazing run of songs there *.* SOS is maybe the only weak one of the bunch but even that is a 9/10 at least :dance: Fingers crossed for Flume to make it!
May 25, 20205 yr Author #150-141 150 KDA feat. Tinie Tempah & Katy B – Turn The Music Louder (Rumble) SF2: 50th; 50 points 2015: 16th; 69 points 149 David Guetta feat. Sia – She Wolf (Falling To Pieces) SF1: 50th; 50 points 2012: 12th; 128 points 148 Regard – Ride It SF1: 49th; 50 points 2019: 11th; 95 points 147 DJ Snake feat. Bipolar Sunshine – Middle SF2: 49th; 51 points 2016: 9th; 104 points 146 David Guetta & Sia – Flames SF2: 48th; 51 points 2018: 9th; 125 points 145 The Chainsmokers feat. Rozes – Roses SF1: 48th; 52 points 2016: 12th; 86 points 144 Marshmello feat. Bastille – Happier SF2: 47th; 52 points 2018: 11th; 101 points 143 Calvin Harris feat. Tinie Tempah – Drinking From The Bottle SF1: 47th; 52 points 2012: 16th; 99 points 142 M-22 feat. Medina – First Time SF1: 46th; 54 points 2018: 8th; 128 points 141 Disclosure feat. Eliza Doolittle – You & Me SF2: 46th; 55 points 2013: 14th; 103 points Marshmello is out of the race as 'Happier' is his highest track of three. David Guetta & Sia also lose two of their collabs meaning only 'Titanium' made the final, and Calvin loses another track too - but he still has 7 tracks in contention for a place in the final alongside the 5 that've already made it such was his dominance.
May 25, 20205 yr Author #140-131 140 Inna – Amazing SF1: 45th; 55 points 2010: 20th; 90 points 139 Kygo & Rita Ora – Carry On SF1: 44th; 56 points 2019: 15th; 72 points 138 Sidney Samson feat. Wizard Sleeve – Riverside (Let's Go) SF2: 45th; 57 points 2010: 17th; 103 points 137 Kygo feat. Ella Henderson – Here For You SF2: 44th; 57 points 2015: 18th; 61 points 136 DJ Fresh feat. Sian Evans – Louder SF2: 43rd; 58 points 2011: 14th; 108 points 135 Swedish House Mafia vs. Knife Party – Antidote SF2: 42nd; 58 points 2012: 15th; 100 points 134 Riton feat. Kah-Lo – Rinse & Repeat SF1: 43rd; 60 points 2016: 18th; 68 points 133 Wilkinson feat. Becky Hill – Afterglow SF2: 41st; 61 points 2013: 18th; 87 points 132 Faul & Wad Ad vs. Pnau – Changes SF2: 40th; 61 points 2014: 7th; 125 points 131 CamelPhat & Cristoph feat. Jem Cooke – Breathe SF2: 39th; 61 points 2018: 7th; 130 points Kygo loses two in this section leaving just 'It Ain't Me' and his two AQs in possible contention. One of DJ Fresh's #1s drops out but 'Hot Right Now' could still make the final. Knife Party are out of the running as 'Antidote' is the highest of their two - it is the lowest ranked SHM track (but it doesn't deserve to be). Also very much unjustly underperforming from their Heat positions are 'Breathe' and 'Changes'.
May 25, 20205 yr Author #130-121 130 Alexis Jordan – Happiness SF1: 42nd; 61 points 2010: 12th; 123 points 129 Nero – Guilt SF1: 41st; 62 points 2011: 17th; 87 points 128 James Hype feat. Kelli-Leigh – More Than Friends SF1: 40th; 62 points 2017: 17th; 101 points 127 Swedish House Mafia – Save the World SF2: 38th; 62 points 2011: 18th; 85 points 126 Avicii feat. Agnes & Vargas & Lagola – Tough Love SF1: 39th; 63 points 2019: 17th; 65 points 125 Storm Queen – Look Right Through (MK Remix) SF1: 38th; 63 points 2013: 11th; 139 points 124 Jonas Blue feat. JP Cooper – Perfect Strangers SF2: 37th; 63 points 2016: 11th; 95 points 123 The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey – Closer SF2: 36th; 64 points 2016: 19th; 68 points 122 Tiesto & Mabel – God Is A Dancer SF2: 35th; 64 points 2019: 10th; 97 points 121 Flume feat. Kai – Never Be Like You SF1: 37th; 65 points 2016: 10th; 100 points For non-top 40 hits, 'Tough Love' and 'Never Be Like You' do rather well here, but it's not enough for either to make the final cut. The Chainsmokers' biggest hit 'Closer' doesn't manage to make it, but '#selfie' is still in the running to join 'Don't Let Me Down'. Tiësto & Jonas Blue both lose their 2nd-highest songs leaving 'Ritual' as their only chance to make the final. Nero are also out of the race now as 'Guilt' is their highest entry of two, with the only entries for Flume, Alexis Jordan, Storm Queen and James Hype here too.
May 25, 20205 yr Author #130-121 120 Bingo Players feat. Far East Movement – Get Up (Rattle) SF2: 34th; 65 points 2013: 16th; 89 points 119 Route 94 feat. Jess Glynne – My Love SF2: 33rd; 65 points 2014: 9th; 119 points 118 Axwell /\ Ingrosso – Something New SF2: 32nd; 65 points 2015: 12th; 77 points 117 Zedd, Maren Morris & Grey – The Middle SF1: 36th; 66 points 2018: 16th; 70 points 116 Jax Jones feat. MNEK & Mike Dunn – House Work SF2: 31st; 68 points 2016: 17th; 72 points 115 Example – Kickstarts SF2: 30th; 68 points 2010: 15th; 112 points 114 Sigala & Ella Eyre – Came Here For Love SF1: 35th; 68 points 2017: 15th; 102 points 113 Porter Robinson – Language SF2: 29th; 69 points 2012: 7th; 178 points 112 Axwell /\ Ingrosso – More Than You Know SF2: 28th; 70 points 2017: 18th; 100 points 111 99 Souls feat. Destiny's Child & Brandy – The Girl Is Mine SF1: 34th; 70 points 2015: 7th; 100 points Axwell /\ Ingrosso lose both of their entries here alongside a few absolute tunes that really should've got through especially 'Language' and 'My Love'! But at least my least favourite song of the bunch in 'The Middle' has fell short. :P I'm sure 99 Souls will be pleased to know the track they originally introduced to Buzzjack themselves eventually made it as our 111th-favourite dance tune of the decade too!
May 25, 20205 yr Author #110-101 110 Chase & Status feat. Mali – Let You Go SF1: 33rd; 71 points 2010: 18th; 99 points 109 Showtek feat. We Are Loud & Sonny Wilson – Booyah SF1: 32nd; 72 points 2013: 19th; 81 points 108 Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna – This Is What You Came For SF1: 31st; 73 points 2016: 6th; 125 points 107 Disciples – On My Mind SF1: 30th; 74 points 2017: 7th; 146 points 106 Clean Bandit feat. Louisa Johnson – Tears SF2: 27th; 74 points 2016: 13th; 85 points 105 Alesso feat. Tove Lo – Heroes (We Could Be) SF2: 26th; 75 points 2014: 17th; 74 points 104 Philip George & Anton Powers – Alone No More SF1: 29th; 75 points 2015: 9th; 92 points 103 Riton & Oliver Heldens feat. Vula – Turn Me On SF1: 28th; 76 points 2019: 13th; 89 points 102 Pendulum – Watercolour SF1: 27th; 77 points 2010: 10th; 131 points 101 Calvin Harris feat. Kelis – Bounce SF1: 26th; 79 points 2011: 13th; 113 points Calvin Harris loses two here which means he still gets five tracks to qualify from the semis but frustratingly it's 'Bounce' and 'TIWYCF' that both only just miss out, two big faves of mine - and 'Bounce' was just one point behind... five different songs - and with tiebreak it would've qualified if I'd have given it an extra point, oh well. Alesso in the other semi however did lose out on a tiebreak, getting one fewer vote than the song in 25th. It's also quite unfortunate for Pendulum - 'Watercolour' was ranked the 28th best dance song ever last year, but it is only the 102nd best dance song of this last decade. They have no other entries in this rundown. Riton loses his highest of two entries with 'Turn Me On' falling short, Phillip & Anton lose their only entry as do Showtek, and Chase & Status lose their highest of two.

May 26, 20205 yr quick question would you find it easier if the final was a rate or should we continue with ranking, either way it's going to be tough with this amazing quality anyhow! I would love a RATE in the final. :dance: By the way, I'm crying blood tears for Alone No More & Heroes(We Could Be) especially with the latter being eliminated in a tiebreaker. :cry: Edited May 26, 20205 yr by Jason
May 26, 20205 yr the lack of love for Chase N Status :/ those 2 missing are among the best dance tracks ever also gutted Flume missed, thats one of the best dance (flops) ever :)
June 21, 20205 yr Author Thanks to the 15 of you who voted in the final, let's get results commencing. 96 Wynter Gordon – Dirty Talk 2011: 9th / 131p | SF1: 25th / 80p | 6.0313 97 Azealia Banks feat. Lazy Jay – 212 2012: 10th / 145p | SF1: 24th / 80p | 6.0000 98 Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer – Give Me Everything 2011: 15th / 96p | SF1: 23rd / 80p | 5.8750 99 Lost Frequencies feat. Janieck Devy – Reality 2015: 20th / 59p | SF2: 25th / 75p | 5.7188 100 The Chainsmokers – #selfie 2014: 18th / 69p | SF1: 12th / 94p | 5.2813 As I expected The Chainsmokers' love-or-hate anthem '#selfie' ends up right at the bottom, I was very surprised it managed to even qualify to the final in the first place. The other surprise Q from Lost Frequencies is in 2nd-last, it is particularly impressive it made it this far though as it came 20th in the yearly round AND 25th in the semi-final, literally scraping through in both cases. Pitbull's Kodak sponsored anthem is next to leave sadly, I think it deserves to be a fair bit higher. It is the sole credited appearance for Afrojack here but 'Titanium' is yet to appear. Azealia Banks and Wynter Gordon's only hits of the decade complete the bottom five.
June 21, 20205 yr Author 91 Tiesto, Jonas Blue & Rita Ora – Ritual 2019: 7th / 134p | SF1: 8th / 103p | 6.6250 92 Kelis – Acapella 2010: 8th / 137p | SF1: 15th / 88p | 6.5625 93 David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj – Turn Me On 2011: 12th / 119p | SF2: 6th / 107p | 6.1875 94 Silk City & Dua Lipa – Electricity 2018: 6th / 141p | SF1: 19th / 85p | 6.1250 95 DJ Snake feat. Justin Bieber – Let Me Love You 2016: 8th / 112p | SF1: 21st / 80p | 6.0625 'Let Me Love You' was the only Bieber feature to make the final and it is the first of two tracks for DJ Snake here. Silk City's 'Electricity' is also bottom 10 despite Dua Lipa's feature. She has two more features remaining, as does Rita Ora who drops out with 'Ritual' (the only final entry for Tiësto or Jonas Blue). David Guetta has two tracks in the bottom 10 with his own 'Turn Me On' alongside 'Acapella' produced for Kelis.
June 21, 20205 yr Author 86 Watermät – Bullit 2014: 20th / 67p | SF1: 9th / 101p | 6.8125 87 Katy B – Katy On A Mission 2010: 9th / 133p | SF2: 9th / 100p | 6.7813 88 Avicii – Heaven 2019: 9th / 111p | SF1: 6th / 112p | 6.7500 89 Yolanda Be Cool vs. D Cup – We No Speak Americano 2010: 7th / 140p | SF2: 24th / 78p | 6.7500 90 Jax Jones feat. Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don – Instruction 2017: 14th / 105p | SF2: 18th / 87p | 6.6875 The first of 10 Avicii songs, 'Heaven' finishes in a still respectable 88th, considering it wasn't one of his big UK hits. It is definitely up there in my top 10 favourite songs ever so I'm just glad it was able to make the final cut. Another personal EOY #1 of mine, 'We No Speak Americano' is a place lower, being the only hit for both performers involved, and the biggest track of the very brief electro-swing trend. Jax Jones also makes his first appearance with 'Instruction', which gave Demi Lovato a #1 hit in my personal chart which I'd never have guessed would happen. It's the first of 6 appearances for him. Katy B's only track here is her breakthrough hit, although it's worth noting her actual most popular track on Buzzjack 'Crying for No Reason' was not eligible here for being too pop. And finally a bit of a surprise entry here for Watermät with the brief UK top 20 hit 'Bullit', notable for being one of the few instrumental hits to break the chart during the decade. I can't complain though as it's a great track.
June 21, 20205 yr Author 81 Jax Jones feat. Ella Henderson – This Is Real 2019: 6th / 137p | SF2: 21st / 85p | 7.0000 82 Duke Dumont feat. Jax Jones – I Got U 2014: 6th / 135p | SF1: 14th / 90p | 6.9063 83 Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams – Get Lucky 2013: 3rd / 193p | 6.8750 84 Inna – Hot 2010: 11th / 126p | SF2: 22nd / 80p | 6.8750 85 Kelly Rowland feat. David Guetta – Commander 2010: 5th / 154p | 6.8750 The first AQ to slip is 'Commander' which means David Guetta has 2 of his 5 entries drop in the first twenty. Daft Punk's sole entry 'Get Lucky' also surprisingly drops out, this deserved much better but sadly it got a few low rates including a -1. Jax drops out two sections in a row with 'This Is Real' being here, which brought Ella Henderson back to the chart in a big way after 4 years, alongside his co-production for Duke Dumont on 'I Got U'. Inna who was big in Europe in the early part of the decade had her biggest UK hit in 'Hot' which is her sole entry in the final at #84.
June 21, 20205 yr Author 76 Swedish House Mafia feat. Pharrell – One (Your Name) 2010: 3rd / 161p | 7.0625 77 David Guetta feat. Rihanna – Who's That Chick 2010: 4th / 159p | 7.0313 78 Sigala feat. Bryn Christopher – Sweet Lovin' 2015: 10th / 87p | SF2: 16th / 92p | 7.0313 79 MNEK & Zara Larsson – Never Forget You 2015: 5th / 106p | 7.0313 80 Fisher – Losing It 2019: 5th / 138p | 7.0313 Fisher broke through with huge club/festival hit 'Losing It' which only managed to make the lower half of the UK chart but qualified to the final anyway and is 80th. 'Never Forget You' which gave Zara Larsson her first world hit follows. We'll be seeing her again much later on. Sigala's first of two appearances is my personal fave of his 'Sweet Lovin', and SHM have their first of 4 appearances with their debut 'One'. David Guetta isn't having much luck in the final so far as another of his drops out, this time it's his Rihanna collab which means she only has 'We Found Love' in the running now.
June 21, 20205 yr Author 71 Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina – Stereo Love 2010: 2nd / 208p | 7.1563 72 Alexandra Stan – Mr Saxobeat 2011: 4th / 166p | 7.1563 73 Swedish House Mafia – Greyhound 2012: 11th / 134p | SF2: 15th / 92p | 7.0625 74 Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding – I Need Your Love 2012: 8th / 151p | SF1: 13th / 93p | 7.0625 75 Dynoro & Gigi D'Agostino – In My Mind 2018: 2nd / 179p | 7.0625 Calvin Harris has 10 appearances here and all of them are in the top 75 with his lowest being 'I Need Your Love'. It finishes with the same average score as both 'Greyhound' and 'One' from SHM, alongside Dynoro's sole hit 'In My Mind'. It is the lowest track here to have reached 2nd in its yearly round, Edward Maya also did so and drops out too with another European 1HW Alexandra Stan a place below.
