Trance/House/Electro Charts?

Hey People!
I can't seem to find a decent trance/house/electro chart anywhere?
So does anyone here know any good charts of the latest tracks?
Thanks!

beatport.com has a bunch of half-decent/decent charts floating around for all genres.

But all they have is accordion music at the top.

You don't need charts.

Listen to music. Like what you like.

Haha, click the "charts" tab in the top left corner.

dig your own crates. lazy

hey Ishkur

"You don't need charts.Listen to music. Like what you like."

With regards to you comment, i know what kind of music i like, but at the same time i can't just stick to a few particular artists. that's where the charts come in, from the charts is where i can get to know more artists & tracks of the 'kind of music i like'.

Charts don't do that.

Charts only validate what music you already know, in the eyes of others. Insomuch as discovering new and interesting music is concerned, charts are habitually useless.

If you depend on charts to introduce you to new artists, you likely don't have very interesting taste in music.

i see where your coming from.trust me i'm not the kind of person who listens to a particular genre/artist just because everyone else is.
but i however disagree with this statement

"If you depend on charts to introduce you to new artists, you likely don't have very interesting taste in music."

that does not apply to charts only,how about the radio,mtv & stuff?
how am i to find new tracks/artist from a genre i like then, or should i just continue listening to the tracks i already have & get new ones from the artists i already know?
i mean i totally don't understand what you mean by "i'm don't have very interesting taste in music just because i use the charts to help me discover something new."
to know what you like someone will have to listen to it first, & since i'm asking for trance/house/electro charts it's obvious that those are my favourites.
and i don't depend on charts by the way. just answer one question sir/mdm.
How am i suppose to discover new tracks/artists from my favourite genre then?
If any of my words offend you, i'm sorry. i'm just being honest.everything's cool!

Charts will only tell you what's popular, which doesn't necessarily mean good music. If you really want to "discover" new artists from the genres you like I suggest digging deep into sites like beatport, juno, audiojelly. I mean, really diggin deep into the recent releases (or not so recent) independent of if they make the charts or not. I've discovered some real gems that way.

Also crap. Don't depend on the radio or TV either.

Have you tried actually going to a record store? Or registering to some record pools? Mailing lists? Google? One of my favorite things to do is go on Soulseek and type in random words, and see what music comes down the pipe. You'd be amazed what you can find if you search for genre keywords instead of artists or songs. (ie: search for "disco" and see what hidden gems you can find that aren't found on any "best of the 70s" comps).

Even better: Go to clubs. Talk to people. Ask them what they're into. Trainspot the DJs records. Talk to him after. He might give you a demo. Go on message forums like this one. Try to keep expanding, broadening your pallette. As a rule of thumb, try to keep moving, keep digging, keep listening. Gravitate towards names and labels you're unfamiliar with. If you stumble upon an artist you know or an alias of an artist you know, move on. If not, give him a try. But always keep moving.

...forgot all about Soulseek, I guess I'll go snooping around.

Or you could simply look at charts that they've posted with their favorite new tracks!! Wow!!

Ishkur, the original poster asked where he could find charts. If you're not willing to help him with this why don't you STFU? There's absolutely nothing wrong with looking at charts to discover new music.

whats a chart

lol, strange to think of it. but i dont think ive ever even looked at a music top songs, chart. actually looked at an album one not too long ago. but i think thats it.

Why don't you try this thread here

it lists people's personal top 10 tracks of the moment. once you get to know certain people's preferences, you can use their top 10 to get to know new music that also fits your taste in music.

DJ charts are good if you like the music a particular DJ plays. Finding music doesn't have to be about digging up obscure stuff nobody else knows about. If you know a DJ has a sound or tastes that fit in with you, then charts are a good source of music you might like.

To answer your question, you can find DJ charts in music magazines and often on the DJ's website, as well as on some dance music websites. Beatport are a good example of the latter. Mixmag have two pages filled with charts and they change the DJs every month so you get a good mix of names and genres.

Bingo Sukhoi29SU! Well, all i wanted was links to trance/house/electro charts. No offense 'Ishkur' but it seems kinda harsh for you to judge/criticize my taste in music purely because i asked where i could find trance charts. Quite contradicting though, this is 'www.tranceaddict.com' and although there are lots of sub-genres under Trance, it shows that you like 'Trance' music also. And if i likely don't have very interesting taste in music, your implying that you don't either(i'm joking.haha). I do however appreciate your help & the suggestions you gave. I will go exploring or 'digging'(as you may call it.digging sounds so dramatic.lol!) at the links you gave.Thanks

One more thing, i'm not really familiar with record labels. When it comes to record labels, my knowledge of record labels are limited i must say. I'm not quite sure about one thing though, as far as i know record labels usually have artistes of different genres signed under it right? Inadvertently that means, artistes that are signed under the same record label as my favourite artiste(s) might not be of the same genre right? Or am i wrong?

Now i have more that enough charts to keep me occupied for quite some time now! THANKS EVERYONE!

When Bush and the other world leaders pass the 48-hour day rule, i may just have time for Ishkur's suggestions above.
