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.

The title “Dragula” is named after the car featured in the TV show “The Munsters.” The track has been used in many forms of media, including the 1999 film “The Matrix.”
Show Me LoveRobin S86rank/position
When it comes to talking about house music, this is an essential work: a masterpiece released on Big Beat in 1993.
It’s a track packed with the true appeal of house—catchy melodies with an unmistakable hint of mystery.
This one’s an anthem that still gets played frequently today.
It’s distinctive, yet I don’t think anyone could dislike it.
If you haven’t heard it yet, you absolutely should! I also recommend the edit by StoneBridge, the Stockholm DJ and producer who’s been Grammy-nominated and has worked with artists from Usher to Lenny Kravitz.
Music Sounds Better With YouStardust87rank/position
Filter house, which was once a massive hit.
This is a classic track by Stardust, the ace of filter house.
It’s a high-quality reissue, thoroughly improved with a major update that enhances the sound quality.
Released on a sublabel produced by Daft Punk, it created a huge buzz at the time.
The music video has also been edited and uploaded from footage of the original era without any degradation.
Video Killed The Radio StarThe Buggles88rank/position
It’s a masterpiece that became a huge hit in 1979—one whose chorus almost everyone has heard at least once! Also known in Japan as “The Tragedy of the Radio Star,” it’s one of the most important songs in music history as the first music video ever broadcast on MTV, spawning countless parodies.
Created by the Buggles, the duo of Trevor Horn—who would later achieve massive worldwide success as a music producer—and Geoff Downes—who went on to form Asia and also enjoy great success—it’s their signature track and a quintessential anthem of the New Wave era.
With its shimmering synth sound and an irresistibly catchy melody you’ll never forget after a single listen, it transcends genres like technopop and synthpop, standing as a timeless example of the perfect pop song—a killer tune if ever there was one.
Angel With A ShotgunThe Cab89rank/position
The emotional atmosphere of “Angel With A Shotgun” really comes through here.
The original is by a band called The Cab, who generally release works that blend R&B and pop.
This track also falls into that kind of genre, but when it’s remixed into nightcore, it feels like it has a stronger rock flavor.
Nightcore is a genre where remixes often change the mood of a song in this way, so be sure to check out the original as well.
GalvanizeThe Chemical Brothers90rank/position
A masterpiece of electronic music that inspires the human spirit.
Created by a British electronic duo, this work is characterized by its original sound that fuses big beat and hip-hop.
Released in November 2004, it peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart and won Best Dance Recording at the 2006 Grammy Awards.
The exquisite harmony between Q-Tip’s rap and East Asian-inspired tones spurs listeners into action.
When you’re ready to take a step toward your dreams, this one track will give you the push you need.
Used in various ceremonies at the London 2012 Olympics, it is a classic that resonated with people around the world.
House/Techno Popular Songs Ranking (91–100)
FirestarterThe Prodigy91rank/position
The Prodigy is a techno band that has pursued a fusion of rock and techno.
The sampled drums and guitar riffs used in this track are pure rock, yet through layers of processing they are shaped into techno.
It also features scattered sampled vocals, while the sounds of synthesizers—iconic instruments of electronic music—are not especially prominent.
Not only in this track but across their body of work, The Prodigy’s creations, unconstrained by conventional wisdom, have been praised for greatly expanding the possibilities of electronic music.
