What are the most popular dance tracks of all-time?

Posted by trancey_spacer on Nov-25-2024 20:15:

If you're talking about being commercially popular, then La Bouche would be right up there.
The other one would be Jam & Spoon 'Right in the Night' which may have done fractionally better on both the UK and US commercial/ mainstream charts

Sandstorm, Children, Levels, or something like that. Maybe I didn't understand the question.

Popular in terms of charting, physical/digital sales, or amount of streams

Interesting how the iconic riff comes in at 2:17. I always thought it came in sooner for some reason.

These are probably the songs that everyone knows, even those who have no idea whatsoever about electronic music:

One More Time
Zombie Nation
Get Ready For This
Sandstorm
Children
Levels
Rhythm is a Dancer
Rhythm of the Night
Better Off Alone
Party Rock Anthem

I too vote for Faithless - Insomnia ...
look at the people going crazy at Pinkpop '98, that's just unreal:

And it's always a pleasure to see Sister Bliss at the synths.

RIP Maxi Jazz.
