10. Fred again.. feat. The Blessed Madonna – Marea (We’ve Lost Dancing)
Taking the number 10 spot we’ve got a tune that really explains how we felt during 2020. With vocals and lyrics built around losing the dance floors and memories as dance music shut down in 2020, this single really gained traction at the start of 2021 as people returned to dance floors and this was the perfect tune to get us back in the party spirit.
9. ATB, Topic x A7S – Your Love (9 PM)
In at number 9 we’ve got the very first official remake of the true dance classic ‘9 PM (Till I Come)’. Created by rising artists Topic and A7S and with the finishing touches put on by the original creator ATB, this vocal anthem dominated the radio waves, gaining over 500,000 million streams in the process.
8. Tiesto & Ava Max – The Motto
Having struck gold with ‘The Business’, Tiesto decided to knock it out of the park once by blending addictive vocals, simplistic basslines, and dance vibes for ‘The Motto’. This one immediately gained traction all across the globe with the Dutchman proving that whatever he touches turns to gold.
7. Martin Garrix x Matisse & Sadko ft. John Martin – Won’t Let You Go
Number 7 goes to a true festival anthem that had only been released just 3 weeks ago. ‘Won’t Let You Go’ was premiered by Martin Garrix when he returned to the stage earlier this year and the anticipation for it was through the roof. Accompanied by his close friends Matisse & Sadko and John Martin, they really delivered that main room festival sound that we had been missing from the year prior.
6. Farruko – Pepas (Tiesto Remix)
A single that really took the world by storm, we decided to give Tiesto’s main room remix of ‘Pepas’ by Farruko the number 6 spot. Keeping elements of the original still in tact, Tiesto turned the heat up on this one as he increased the tempo and added his now-signature bouncy big room style into it, turning it into a true peak-time anthem in the process.
5. Tiesto & KAROL G – Don’t Be Shy
We kick off the top 5 with Tiesto‘s most popular single of the year. Made together with KAROL G, the Dutchman decided to take things simple by letting the vocals take center stage but he combined them with a groovy and rhythmic low end that just adds to the memorability. A stable in many DJs sets, this one is sure to be a hit for years to come.
4. Swedish House Mafia ft. The Weeknd – Moth To A Flame
2021 will always be marked as the year Swedish House Mafia returns with some new music and we were not disappointed. Following rumors that the trio has been working with The Weeknd, anticipation was through the roof and the results were truly outstanding. Keeping their house style but giving it that fresh modern flavor, these artists combined and showed us just why they are ranked as some of the best in the world.
3. Titanium (David Guetta & MORTEN Future Rave Remix)
When speaking about the classic anthem ‘Titanium’, if we ever thought there was a modern remix that it would not hold up to the original but that is certainly not the case for this one. Close friends and partners in crime for Future Rave, David Guetta, and MORTEN decided to take this classic and give it a remix that would dominate festival scenes. A true beast of a release, this one has been a major addition to each artist’s sets and receives playtime at every festival in the world.
2. Acraze – Do It To It
Just missing out on the top spot we’ve got the vital hit of ‘Do It To It’ by Acraze. With over 100 million streams to its name, this single really blew up on online platforms due to its catchy sampled vocals. Its groovy undertones of kicks and basslines is where this one excels and was officially the most played song at this year’s EDC, most notably being played together with Squid Game theme song by Zedd.
1. Shouse – Love Tonight (David Guetta Remix)
After careful consideration, we’ve given the top spot to a single which truly took over the electronic dance music scene and although remixed by tons of artists, we feel David Guetta‘s deserves to take the cake. Vocals that have been sung all over the world from crowds of thousands, the David Guetta remix took this one to the main stage and gave it that main room feel that we felt it was lacking.

Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 Confirmed Artists So Far
Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 Confirmed Artists So Far include Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, and more
As we gear up for the historic debut of Tomorrowland Thailand from December 11 to 13, 2026, the first confirmed artists are already setting the frame for one of Asia’s most closely watched festival debuts. Ahead of the complete lineup announcement, Tomorrowland has shared an early group of confirmed names for the Thailand edition, including Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Lost Frequencies, NERVO, and Dimitri Vegas. Unlike the usual Tomorrowland lineup reveal, where the full artist list is released alongside stage hosts and wider festival details, the Thailand confirmations have been shared through separate official moments. Axwell mentioned the Swedish House Mafia appearance during a One World Radio interview, while other names were introduced through Tomorrowland and Tomorrowland Thailand posts, giving the debut edition a more gradual artist reveal before the full lineup is published.
Swedish House Mafia Are Set For Their First Thailand Show As A Trio
Among the first Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 confirmed artists, Swedish House Mafia carries the clearest headline value because the December booking would bring Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello to Thailand together under the Swedish House Mafia name for the first time. All three members have played in the country across separate appearances, and Axwell Λ Ingrosso previously performed in Thailand as a duo, but the trio has never performed here together as Swedish House Mafia. That gives the confirmation more local context for Thai audiences who have followed the members’ individual and duo appearances over the years. The confirmation came through a conversational exchange on One World Radio, when the host asked Axwell where the group was going next in the Tomorrowland world. Axwell first pointed to Asia, then narrowed it down to Thailand, saying, “I think it might be somewhere in the Asian regions. Uh more like Thailand actually,” before adding, “We’re going to be there in December.” When the host asked if that meant Tomorrowland Thailand, Axwell replied, “Yeah. Yeah. That’s the thing.” The host then repeated the point back for clarity, saying Swedish House Mafia’s next stop in the Tomorrowland world would be Tomorrowland Thailand, with Axwell later adding that he had seen Wisdom Valley, loves going to Thailand, loves Tomorrowland, and said, “So let’s mix the two.”

NERVO Announced Their Tomorrowland Thailand Set On The Tomorrowland Winter MainStage
NERVO were one of the first names confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026, with the announcement made during their Tomorrowland Winter MainStage set instead of through a standard lineup graphic. Mim Nervo set up the reveal by telling the crowd that “there’s something new happening” before she and Liv Nervo turned around to show the message printed across their shirts: “She Is Playing At Tomorrowland Thailand.” The moment was later shared by Tomorrowland Thailand as the first artist reveal for the 2026 line-up, placing NERVO in the earliest group of artists confirmed for the festival’s debut edition from December 11 to 13, 2026. Their booking also connects the Thailand launch to Tomorrowland’s wider history, since NERVO have been regular names across the festival’s stages over the years and were part of The Way We See The World, the 2011 Tomorrowland anthem with Afrojack and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.
