August 8, 200717 yr true... thats the best original dance track since juliet 'avalon'. Avalon was ABSOLUTELY great, and one that grew on you so that months later you looked back and thought how the HECK did this not make top 20? I don't think dance is COMPLETELY dead on it's arse yet. For every hundred or so Cascada dumpings, you can still find ONE BRILLIANT track. Robyn and Juliet are two examples. Not to mention Need To Feel Loved, Stoned In Love, Bombs, Song 4 Mutya...
August 9, 200717 yr It still made #22 though. Would never be that high now that's for sure. 1999 was a golden era for trance in the chart...I remember trance tracks popping up at the lower end of the top 40 week in week out

And to have With Every Heartbeat and Song 4 Mutya in the top 10 at the same time is a very good sign for dance while the tacky covers are wallowing at the bottom of the chart
August 9, 200717 yr Sorry there, are you think your opinion on Kanye is unjust. It's a great track and - if it's any consoltation - it's great that Kanye is inspired by the European music scene as opposed to the rest of the uninspiring American urban ilk.
August 9, 200717 yr Yet DP reached #25 and Kanye #1... what does this prove? ALL the real defining dance tracks from the 90s were non-chart songs.....
August 9, 200717 yr 1999 was a golden era for trance in the chart...I remember trance tracks popping up at the lower end of the top 40 week in week out It carried on for a couple of years after that. 2000 pretty much had at least one trance track in the top 10 every week.
August 9, 200717 yr well it was all about trance vs garage at the time. But house still had hits even out of fashion. Just shows how big the genre was.
August 9, 200717 yr House seems to have survived throughout the years. It's only really trance and garage that have gone through phases. Like I said before, I honestly believe 2002 was the point at which it all cracked for trance; the point where Flip and Fill and DJ Sammy came in. Now I didn't actually mind "Heaven" or "Shooting Star", but I DID mind the trend it set where shedloads of sub-standard DJs saw an easy way to make a buck, and the releases quickly got shoddier and shoddier.
August 9, 200717 yr Well that's because house has always been more accessible and radio friendly than house, it was never gonna disappear, but at a club and even chart popularity-wise, it pretty much was in the back burner from 99 to around 2003 when it came back. The problem was that trance struggled in 2002 because you had to do eurotrance to have a hit, the genre relied on it far too much. The year should've of seen eurotrance doing well, but also ibiza type of trance succeeding. I mean in 1999/2000 classics like Veracocha, Delerium etc... lived side by side with Alice Deejay and Fragma. There was room for both.
