2025 has officially come to an end for us as well, and with our charts we tried to sum everything up. But while our rankings – just like those from radios, megamixes, and some DJs or radio shows – are “Top 10s” that are almost always the result of personal taste or perception, now we can finally talk about statistical results thanks to the annual A State of Dance Music report published by 1001tracklists.com.
Well, let’s spoil it right away: the results are not what you might expect. Just think that among the 10 most supported tracks, there is not a single one by David Guetta. So, do you get what we’re talking about? No fluff, just real data coming from the world’s leading database for radio airplay, DJ sets at events (major festivals and clubs), showcases, and more.
But before diving deeper, let’s quantify everything: what actually happened in 2025 according to 1001tracklists.com?
The platform generated staggering numbers, also calculating the tracklists from our radio show “Best of Today #Release” and all the “first plays” aired by us (in the “new tracks” field you can see how many were added globally in 2025 alone).
All of these data combined give us a realistic and mathematical result of what – as we were saying before – were actually the most supported tracks by DJs worldwide.
Let’s take a look at them together:
As you can easily imagine, this is not a chart of the “best” songs of 2025. We already said that. It’s interesting to find Maurice West under his new alias Mau P with two tracks on the podium. This ranking also opens up a clear view of which genres were most in trend during 2025, and this time we get there quite quickly. Here’s the trend:
The A State of Dance Music by 1001tracklists.com then continues with an analysis of the Top 30 labels of the year, the most searched tracklists, and also the tracklisters (those who create tracklists on the platform). There’s also a ranking dedicated to the 10 most viewed radio shows and… SPOILER: our Best of Today #Release is not there.
And there are even more interesting charts included.
So, if you want a complete overview of how Dance music performed in 2025, the A State of Dance Music by 1001tracklists.com is your bible. We only mentioned a few rankings here, but there are many more inside. If you want to read them all: A State of Dance Music 2025.
