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.

Popular House/Techno Songs Ranking (11–20)

Why So SeriousTha Playah15rank/position

This is a piece that features the film The Dark Knight.

It’s a track by The Player, a Dutch musician active as a music producer and DJ, included on the 2009 album Walking The Line.

Combining the heavy, pressure-packed sound typical of gabber with what seem to be sampled lines from the movie, it crafts a truly dark atmosphere.

It’s a hardcore number that, the longer you listen, makes you feel as though you’ve somehow been swallowed up by the sound.

Although techno music is often perceived as being produced by individuals, there are in fact cases where tracks are created by groups.

A representative example is A Number of Names.

They were a techno music group that left their mark on music history despite being active for only a single year.

Their signature track is “Sharevari 12.” Its distinctive, catchy sound and vocals are guaranteed to stick in your head! By the way, only 500 copies of the record were initially pressed, but due to its popularity, more were produced later.

Choruses are extremely effective in conveying a sense of eeriness.

Mixed male and female choir parts, like in hymns, can sometimes feel frightening, right? This piece, “Teleport,” centers on that kind of scary chorus.

The chorus appears from the beginning, and the track blends a mystical atmosphere with a sense of fear.

In the verses where the chorus doesn’t appear, the sharp sound design and structure—packed with the best elements of psychedelic trance—leave a strong impression.

This work by Peggy Gou, a DJ from Korea based in Berlin, was released in June 2023 as the lead single from her debut album, “I Hear You.” She has said the song expresses indescribable love, warmth, and euphoria to be shared with friends and loved ones.

Perhaps that universal feeling is the secret to capturing listeners’ hearts worldwide.

Video from festivals went viral on TikTok, and the song quickly took the world by storm, even breaking into the UK Top 10.

It’s guaranteed to set the perfect vibe for drives and parties with your crew!

It’s an anthem you’re guaranteed to hear at least once at any festival dedicated to house music.

Despite its deeply spiritual tone, the repeated, straightforward and passionate refrain “I’ll be your friend” only heightens that spiritual feeling.

A masterpiece.
