Ranked by scene
Dance music is not one chart. Each scene is scored on the combined monthly listeners of the acts we track in it — an act can appear in more than one.
House
Four-to-the-floor, from radio crossover to club staples.
Mainstage
Big room, festival EDM and the headline slots at Tomorrowland and Ultra.
Bass
Dubstep, riddim, trap and the whole US bass ecosystem.
Tech House
Groove-driven club music — Ibiza's engine room.
Techno
Peak-time techno, from Berlin to Awakenings.
Melodic Techno
Afterlife-style melodic and progressive techno.
Drum & Bass
174 BPM — liquid, jump-up and neurofunk.
Trance
Uplifting, progressive and the long-form euphoria of ASOT.
Hardstyle
Reverse bass, raw kicks — Defqon.1 territory.
Afro House
Afro, 3-step and the sound out of Johannesburg.
Hard Techno
150+ BPM. The fastest growing scene in dance music.
Psytrance
Goa, full-on, forest and hi-tech — the psychedelic end of the floor.
