Darude – Sandstorm
Nominated by @Kate
· 187 points
· 61 points from the vote (27th place)
· 126 points from the rate (41st place)
1999, Finland, No. 3 smash! In stark contrast to his Eurovision journey, Darude actually managed to make it past the semi-final here. He actually did so twice, but ‘Feel the Beat’ ended up being one of our nul pointers so it’s probably best not to draw attention to it. This has one of the most recognisable hooks in trance, one that he recycled for the song ‘Superman’ last year. This was apparently the subject of a YouTube April Fool’s Day joke in 2015, and is also a Twitch meme. Fun fact: memes are for unfunny people who aren’t capable of coming up with a punchline under their own power.

Planet Perfecto – Bullet in the Gun
There’s a bullet in the gun
There’s a fire in your heart
You will move all mountains that stand in your path
· 187 points
· 48 points from the vote (46th place)
· 139 points from the rate (30th place)
1999, UK, No. 7 smash in 2000! This precious child did astonishingly well in the semi-final, but fared less well in the final because Moopy turned into a shower of trance-hating fun dodgers by the time it kicked off. Planet Perfecto are a supergroup comprised of Paul Oakenfold, Jake Williams AKA JX, and Ian Masterson AKA Flexifinger and one of the Trouser Enthusiasts. I had a spiritual moment during the rate when I realised this was my favourite dance track of all time. Sadly, Moopy didn’t agree, and chucked loads of ones at it. I know it was an opinion poll and all, but there were still wrong answers.

I feel Bullet in the Gun doesn't quite live on as the classic it ought to.

Alice Deejay – Better Off Alone
Nominated by @Tisch
Do you think you’re better off alone?
· 188 points
· 64 points in the vote (23rd place)
· 124 points in the rate (44th place) (!)
1997, Netherlands, UK No. 2 smash! DJ Alice Deejay (DJ) has had quite the run of success in this rate. From this, to ‘Back in My Life’, to that other one. Recorded as an instrumental in 1997, Sebastian Molijn ad-libbed the lyrics off the cuff following a bad break up, thus creating the vocal version that made Judith Pronk a star. It’s since been sampled by Wiz Khalifa, David Guetta and, most significantly, by Lindsay Lohan in her song song ‘Xanax’. Dutch singer Janieck also heavily referenced it in ‘Does It Matter?’, which is a shameless guilty pleasure of mine.

If anyone wants to hear Alice Deejay mashed up with a modern pop classic, you could do worse than to pop this on after the playlist is over:
EDIT: Not sure this has worked, oh well.

Judith is not even in this video, which makes me ultra suspicious about her vocals.

Sash! Ft. La Trec – Stay
Nominated by @ButterTart
I had a dream last night
You were there
· 188 points
· 54 points from the vote (34th place)
· 134 points from the vote (34th place)
1997, Germany/USA, No. 2 smash! Well, that’s the last of mine out. I’m not taking it personally, mind, I think you’re all conniving, vindictive cunts for totally unrelated reasons. This was another number two near-miss for poor Sash! The vocals here are courtesy of boss-eyed American lass Frankie McCoy AKA La Trec. This was, by some measure, Sash!’s most popular outing throughout this whole process. The ‘I had a dream last night’ opening line is very possibly my favourite intro to any song on this list, and anyone who disagrees is a conniving, vindictive cunt.

Quite baffled that we had 4 Sash tracks going into this and this is the only one that made it.

Stay is monumental and I think the Sash! name almost stops it having a better reputation as one of the classic majestic trance moments.
La Trec, who looked a bit like the crazy actress who played the sultry and sassy Rene in Ally McBeal, has the most incredible voice for this.

Stardust – Music Sounds Better With You
Nominated by @Superstylin’
Ooh, baby
I feel right, the music sounds better with you
Love might bring us back together
I feel so good
· 189 points
· 52 points from the vote (36th place)
· 137 points from the rate (32nd place)
1998, France, No. 2 smash! Another one that falls into the category of ‘day drinking anthem’ for me. Stardust only formed to release this one song and disbanded immediately afterwards. They were: Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk (Daft Punk are a popular electronic dance music group you may not recognise because not one of their songs was nominated for this rate), and Alan Braxe, whose song with Fred Falke, ‘Intro’, was knocked out during the semis. The guitar riff is a sample of Chaka Khan’s ‘Fate’.
