ElectricFM's Top 5 Dance Hits - Week of August 18, 2026

This week's Top 5 brings a familiar leader, a major new entry from a pop icon, and three songs holding their ground. The complete Top 20 is available on our website and in the station app, but first, here's a closer look at the five tracks leading the chart.

#5 Kygo & Max McNown - Take Me Back (No Change)

Kygo and Max McNown complete the countdown at #5, also unchanged from last week. The collaboration pairs the Norwegian producer with American singer-songwriter McNown, bringing an emerging artist to a wider dance audience. Kygo announced the single through his official website in July.

"Take Me Back" has now spent several weeks among the station’s five biggest songs. Although it remains at #5, its ability to hold onto that position makes it one of the chart's most consistent performers.

#4 Lost Frequencies - Live It All (No Change)

Lost Frequencies remains at #4 with "Live It All," giving the song another week inside the Top 5. The track was released in June through Epic Amsterdam.

The Belgian producer first reached an international audience with “Are You With Me” and has continued to bridge dance music and mainstream radio. "Live It All" adds another lasting chart entry to his catalog, holding its position while other songs move around it.

#3 David Guetta & Third Party f/ John Martin - Human (No Change)

"Human" holds steady at #3 this week following its earlier run at #1. Released through Tomorrowland Music, the song brings together David Guetta and British progressive-house duo Third Party, with vocals from Swedish singer-songwriter John Martin.

Each artist comes to the collaboration with an established dance-music following. Guetta has enjoyed crossover success around the world, Third Party has built a dedicated progressive-house audience, and Martin has contributed vocals to several internationally recognized electronic releases.

#2 Madonna - Danceteria (New)

Madonna makes this week's biggest entrance as "Danceteria" arrives at #2. The song appears on Confessions II, and its title recalls Danceteria, the influential New York nightclub connected to the early stages of Madonna's career.

That history gives the release a personal connection to Madonna's beginnings in New York's downtown music scene. Decades after first becoming a fixture on dance floors and pop radio, she now finds herself just one position away from another #1 on our chart.

#1 VIZE & ESKE - Memories (Holds at #1)

VIZE and ESKE remain at the top for a second week with "Memories." Released through Kontor Records in May, the collaboration has now turned its Top 5 debut into an extended stay at #1.

VIZE has established a strong presence in European dance music through numerous releases and collaborations. With "Memories" continuing to lead our listener chart, the track is proving to be one of the project's latest radio successes.
