Posted June 25, 20232 yr Six years on from Rui da Silva winning the first edition of Ultimate Dance 2000s it's about time we had a re-run. :cheer: Taking a selection of the most notable dance hits of 2009, as curated by myself to save time doing a nominations round, simply rank your top 10 as below: +12: +10: +08: +07: +06: +05: +04: +03: +02: +01: As per last time we will start at the end of the decade and work our way backwards. 2009 was dominated by dance acts beginning with C and D, especially Calvin Harris, David Guetta and Dizzee Rascal who have multiple entries each. 'I'm Not Alone' gave commercial trance music one last hurrah (until Calvin himself revived it this year). Also representing the genre are 'Poppiholla' and 'I Remember'. It was electro that dominated though with hits such as 'Evacuate the Dancefloor', 'Bonkers' and 'Sexy Chick', some of which were borderline pop songs, but that is to be expected from mainstream dance. It was also responsible for Chase & Status' introduction to the charts, with drum n' bass hit 'End Credits'.

June 26, 20232 yr Tough round, that. For a long time I've thought 2009 being the best year for charting music and this backs it up. Can't imagine I'll be leaving off songs as good as Warrior's Dance and the YYYs remix on any other year. 12 Chase & Status feat.
