INTRODUCTION This week’s dance picture is a nice blend of feel-good vocal house, chunky tech house and a few clever throwbacks doing real damage. On the Official Dance Singles Chart for 16-22 October 2026, HUGEL/IMAEL ANGEL/ULTRA NATE stay at number 1 with MOVIN' TO THE SUN, while Beatport’s House Top 100 is led by Prospa, Kettama and Rohan Pinnock-Hamilton with Think of You Extended. Beatport’s Tech House Top 100 is headed by Solomun, Skepta and Dom Dolla with DANGER DANGER Extended. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) For weddings and parties, the useful trend is clear: the records that feel biggest right now either have a proper vocal moment, a recognisable hook, or a groove that lets you mix between pop, house and clubbier material without losing the room. TOP 10 HOTTEST DANCE TRACKS 1. HUGEL/IMAEL ANGEL/ULTRA NATE - MOVIN' TO THE SUN Still number 1 on the Official Dance Singles Chart this week, and it has that bright, hands-up vocal feel that can work in a late-evening party set without going too hard too soon. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) 2. Prospa, Kettama, Rohan Pinnock-Hamilton - Think of You Extended Number 1 on Beatport’s House Top 100 and also number 1 on Beatport’s overall Top 100 this week; big-room house energy with enough emotion to land beyond the specialist crowd. ([beatport.com](https://www.beatport.com/genre/id/5/top-100?utm_source=openai)) 3. Chromeo, Chris Lorenzo - Fancy Footwork Extended Mix A cracking party-house weapon: Fancy Footwork has jumped from 21 to 8 on the Official Dance Singles Chart, while the Chromeo and Chris Lorenzo extended mix sits at number 2 on Beatport’s House Top 100. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) 4. Solomun, Skepta, Dom Dolla - DANGER DANGER Extended Beatport’s current Tech House number 1 and number 3 on the overall Top 100; this one is for the later, louder part of the night when the bassline can do the talking. ([beatport.com](https://www.beatport.com/genre/house/11/top-100?utm_source=openai)) 5. PROSPA/CLOONEE - FREE YOUR MIND Sitting at number 2 on the Official Dance Singles Chart this week, it is still one of those dependable modern club records that gives you drive without losing the vocal connection. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) 6. ANOTR/54 ULTRA - TALK TO YOU Number 3 on the Official Dance Singles Chart, and exactly the sort of rolling groove that keeps a dancefloor moving between commercial house and more underground flavours. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) 7. Snoop Dogg, HUGEL - H.O.U.S.E (Extended Mix) Released on 16 October through Make The Girls Dance Records and already showing at number 5 on Beatport’s House Top 100, this has the instant-name recognition that can help it cut through in a mixed room. ([beatport.com](https://www.beatport.com/release/house-extended-mix/7543808?utm_source=openai)) 8. SILVA BUMPA - ON 2NITE Holding number 5 on the Official Dance Singles Chart, this is a neat bridge into UK garage and bassline flavours without making the set feel too specialist. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) 9. CLOONEE & PROSPA FT TRISTAN - GOOD GIRL At number 4 on the Official Dance Singles Chart, this has the punch and confidence for the point in the evening where the floor is already warmed up and ready for something a little deeper. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) 10. CHASE & STATUS FT LITTLE SIMZ - CARNAGE New at number 13 on the Official Dance Singles Chart this week, and the obvious heavier pick if your crowd wants UK energy rather than glossy house. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) BIGGEST NEW RELEASES Prospa, Kettama, Rohan Pinnock-Hamilton - Think of You Extended DJ Mag reported that the Prospa and KETTAMA collaboration was set for release on 16 October after being teased across the club and festival circuit during the summer; Beatport now has the extended version at number 1 in House and number 1 overall. ([djmag.com](https://djmag.com/news/prospa-and-kettama-set-release-long-awaited-collaboration-think-of-you)) SIDEPIECE, OMNOM and Taylr Renee - When We're Dancing A fresh peak-time tech house cut released through SIDEPIECE’s Lip Service imprint, with EDM.com noting its 130 BPM pace and darker production edge. For DJs, this feels more club room than wedding opener, but it could be excellent late on. ([edm.com](https://edm.com/music-releases/sidepiece-omnom-taylr-renee-when-were-dancing/)) FISHER and LAUREL - Staring at the Sun Out via Catch & Release on 16 October, this is a brighter, piano-led FISHER moment with LAUREL’s vocal giving it more singalong potential than a straight tool-room track. ([edm.com](https://edm.com/music-releases/fisher-laurel-staring-at-the-sun/)) Alesso and Kaitlin Aragon - Fight for Love Also released on 16 October, this is cinematic progressive house with a big vocal line and a more emotional lift, which makes it one to watch for peak moments rather than gritty club transitions. ([edm.com](https://edm.com/music-releases/alesso-kaitlin-aragon-fight-for-love/)) Above & Beyond - Nights Like This Released on 15 October via Anjunabeats, this brings that dark-into-melodic progressive trance shape that can be huge for the right crowd, especially if they like a proper build. ([edm.com](https://edm.com/music-releases/listen-to-above-beyonds-propulsive-new-single-nights-like-this/)) CLIMBING THE CHARTS The biggest mover to watch is CHROMEO - FANCY FOOTWORK, up from 21 to 8 on the Official Dance Singles Chart. With Chromeo and Chris Lorenzo’s extended mix also sitting at number 2 on Beatport’s House Top 100, it has both nostalgia and fresh club credibility. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) The classics are still refusing to sit down. CLEAN BANDIT FT JESS GLYNNE - RATHER BE climbs from 37 to 26, BOB SINCLAR FT STEVE EDWARDS - WORLD HOLD ON (FISHER REWORK) moves from 29 to 24, and DAVID GUETTA FT SIA - TITANIUM rises from 31 to 28 on the Official Dance Singles Chart. That tells you a lot about what still connects at weddings and big family parties. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) There are also a few notable returns: MORGAN SEATREE - SAY MY NAME, ARMAND VAN HELDEN - I WANT YOUR SOUL and CALVIN HARRIS/ELLIE GOULDING - OUTSIDE are all re-entries on this week’s Official Dance Singles Chart. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) DJ'S PICK OF THE WEEK Chromeo, Chris Lorenzo - Fancy Footwork Extended Mix This is the one I’d be reaching for first this week. The chart movement is strong, the groove is clean, and the hook has enough familiarity to work for a broad party crowd. It can sit nicely after disco edits, before bigger house, or as a clever lift when the floor needs something fun but not cheesy. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) DANCEFLOOR PREDICTIONS Think of You Extended should keep spreading from proper club sets into more mainstream late-night playlists. When a record is number 1 on both Beatport’s House Top 100 and overall Top 100, it usually means working DJs are already leaning on it heavily. ([beatport.com](https://www.beatport.com/genre/id/5/top-100?utm_source=openai)) Fancy Footwork feels like the most useful crossover record of the week. If your crowd likes disco, funk, house or just a recognisable groove, this has a very good chance of cutting through. H.O.U.S.E could become a party wildcard. HUGEL is already sitting at the top of the UK Dance chart with MOVIN' TO THE SUN, and the new Snoop Dogg collaboration gives DJs an easy talking point plus a chunky house groove. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) For heavier dancefloors, CARNAGE is the one to keep an eye on. A new entry at number 13 on the Official Dance Singles Chart suggests it has landed quickly, and Chase & Status records tend to make sense when a crowd wants the energy turned up sharply. ([officialcharts.com](https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/dance-singles-chart/)) That’s it for this week’s PLM Dancefloor Weekly.
