Ranking of Popular House and Techno Songs

The straight-ahead path of dance music: four-on-the-floor.

Known overseas as “four on the floor,” it’s considered the standard rhythm of the dance floor.

Among the most timeless forms of electronic music are house and techno.

Built primarily with synthesizers, sequencers, and samplers, these genres continue to evolve, changing shape with the times.

Since 2015, we’ve seen the rise of new scenes: comparatively mellow, modern-leaning EDM like future house; hard techno that hosts massive festivals around the world; and tech house, an extremely groovy style that bridges house and techno.

This time, we’ll introduce the most popular tracks on our site in a ranked format.
