1	15	461	2002	Airwave Dutch DJs Piet Bervoets and Benno De Goeij are Rank 1, and they've been together producing dreamy trance music since 1997. It was rather appropriate that Rank 1 hit our # 1 position with their breakthrough smash "Airwave". It topped our 'Pure Dance Chart' in May 2002 - more than two years after it hit the top of various European pop and dance charts. Be sure to check out the 8˝-minute 'Original Mix' of this track as well as the slightly sped-up 7˝-minute 'Dutch Force Remix'.	Rank 1
11	17	276	2002 & 2003	Blood Is Pumpin' I think this is one of the greatest techno tracks ever made. It was released early on in 2001 in Europe, but I didn't discover it until a year later in January 2002 during my very first trip to Las Vegas. My brother and I were at Rumjungle at Mandalay Bay when it got cranked-up LOUD - the only way to hear it. It was an instant smash as far as we were concerned, and we sought to find out what the title and artist of it was as soon as possible so that we could own it ourselves.	VooDoo & Serano
6	26	589	2002	Days Go By It was one of the most successful television advertising campaigns of 2002 - "Days Go By" being played as the Mitsubishi Eclipse was driving down the highway late at night. It was also a breakthrough dance smash on the U.S. pop chart. It hit the TOP 15 on the mainstream chart. It spent 26 weeks in a row on our 'Pure Dance Chart' in 2002 and finished the year as our # 20 smash overall.	Dirty Vegas
16	3	46	2002	Derb Boris Hafner and Kai Winter out of Frankfurt Germany are the producers behind the Derb project. Derb is simplicity. Derb is easy beats and simple melodies. Derb is derb. This self-titled track is on their "Attack" CD. It had a brief run with us near the beginning of our 'Pure Dance Era'.	Derb
6	12	345	2002	Don't Stop ! André Tanneberger is German DJ ATB. From 2001 to 2003 he hit us up 4 times with "9 P.M. (Till I Come)", "It's A Fine Day" (with Miss Jane), "I Don't Wanna Stop", and this TOP 10 smash from the heart of our 'Pure Dance Era'. It was actually released in 1999 in Europe, and it became a TOP 3 smash on the U.K. pop chart. ATB is considered to be one of the first trance artists to enjoy mainstream success during the late-1990s.	ATB
26	15	153	2002 & 2003	Don't Stop (Shake Your Body) Freestylers released a new CD in 2002 titled "Pressure Point", but in 1998 their big debut CD "We Rock Hard" produced many dance hits including this one. It didn't hit our pure dance chart until February 2002. During 4 chart runs it peaked at # 26 for 6 weeks. It finished 9 points shy of hitting the HOT 100 OF 2002.	Freestylers
4	71	1153	2002 & 2003	Gotta Get Thru This This track debuted on our chart at # 23 during the final weekend of January 2002 as our 'Pure Dance' era was just getting started. The next week it shot up 18 notches to # 5. It peaked at # 4 the next week. After two weeks at # 4 it began dropping down our chart, and then climbing back up again, and then dropping again, and climbing again, and dropping again. You get the idea. Long story short when all was said and done it had spent 71 weeks in a row on our chart - an all-time MASSIVESMASH.COM chart record for longevity !	Daniel Bedingfield
22	9	132	2002	Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) Here's a track that shot straight-in to the U.K. pop chart at # 1 in August of 2000 (nearly two years before it hit our 'Pure Dance Chart'). It was a long-running smash in the U.K. as it hung around for nearly six months. It's got a retro 1970s disco feel to it. 'Groovejet' was a famous nightclub on Miami Beach. A new club - 'Rain' - has since taken its place.	DJ Spiller Ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor
1	33	657	2002 & 2003	Hard To Say I'm Sorry Quite a few classic pop tunes from the 1980s got the trance or techno makeover in 2002 such as "Heaven" and "Boys Of Summer" (DJ Sammy), "Like A Prayer" (MadHouse), "Use Your Luv" (DJ X), and "It's A Fine Day" (Miss Jane Vs. ATB). But this classic 1982 pop tune from Chicago got an extreme techno makeover two decades later, and it resulted in one of my favourite techno tracks of all-time. Its 33 weeks on our chart (23 in 2002 and 10 in 2003) helped this Pure Dance anthem to become the # 21 song overall for 2002 (and # 91 for 2003).	Aquagen Vs. Chicago
1	42	1365	2002 & 2003	Heaven This worldwide dance smash was a virtual lock into the MASSIVE Memories, and it's been one for awhile. It's a dance smash that went mainstream all around the world. On our chart it spent a combined 13 weeks at # 1 - tied for the second most in our 21-year history. It spent its first 20 weeks in a row with us at either # 1 or # 2. It went on to spend 42 weeks on our chart. With 1,365 chart points it's one of the biggest hits in MASSIVESMASH.COM history !	DJ Sammy Ft. Yanou & Do
25	11	111	2002	Is This Love It's a memorable tune from our 'Pure Dance Era' despite its less than moderate success. It was on our chart for 11 weeks shortly after the start of the two-year party. It peaked at # 25 for two weeks, and it was the # 102 hit overall in 2002. It's featured on two popular trance compilation CDs - "Trance Party (Volume Two)" and "Best Of Trance (Volume Four)".	Terra Skye
10	7	180	2002	Keep Control This German techno track with rare vocals over a pounding beat slammed the U.S. club scene hard during the Summer Of 2001, and it was actually the # 1 club smash of the entire year. We picked up on it a year later during the Summer Of 2002 when it became a 4-week TOP 10 smash for us. It was our # 76 smash overall in 2002.	Sono
7	9	240	2002	Let's Get It On During the first few months of our 'Pure Dance Era' Queens New York dance music artist Lucas Prata - 'The Bad Boy Of Dance' - stormed onto our chart with this exhilarating and catchy track - perfect for the dancefloor and the radio. It was a total dance smash on a few contemporary rhythmic stations along the U.S. East Coast including Miami's 'PARTY-93.1' and Orlando's '95.3-PARTY'.	Lucas Prata
1	40	1022	2002 & 2003	Like A Prayer Mad'House took the world by storm with this 2002 remake of Madonna's 1989 platinum smash. This was as big of a smash (if not bigger) than the original version all across Europe. It spent a MASSIVE 40 weeks in a row here on our chart (including two weeks at # 1) during the peak of our 'Pure Dance Era'. Radikal Records' CD "Absolutely Mad" contained no less than 13 remakes of Madonna's songs from the 1980s and 1990s including a house remake of Madonna's MASSIVE Memory "Vogue".	Mad'House
1	23	552	2002 & 2003	Omnibus Darude's "Sandstorm" meets Ace Of Base's "The Sign" meets Nena's "99 Red Balloons" ? Novelty - perhaps. Techno - definitely. This catchy German dance smash stormed onto our chart in February 2002, and it hit # 1 the following month and stayed there for 4 consecutive weeks. Unfortunately the novelty aspect of the song kicked in, and its lack of staying power was its downfall. This underperformer on the chart only managed to become the # 28 song overall in 2002.	Laut Sprecher Ft. Katie Skate
--	--	--	2002	Out Of My Heart (Into Your Head) Mark Barry, Christian Burns, and Ste McNally were the 'B', 'B', and 'Mak' of 'BBMak'. They hit our chart thrice in 2000 and 2001 with their long-running TOP 3 debut smash "Back Here" and its TOP 15 follow-ups "Still On Your Side" and "Ghost Of You And Me". In 2002 this 4TH single was released to radio, but it never made it onto our chart because we had gone 'Pure Dance' at the time. Nevertheless it's my favourite of the four.	BBMak
22	7	109	2002 & 2003	Out Of The Blue The 'F' in System F stands for Ferry - as in Corsten - and this solo project was established early on in 1999. This powerful hard-edged trance anthem was a U.K. TOP 15 smash back then, but it didn't hit our chart until well over 3 years later. It spent a modest 7 weeks on our chart. This may be one of the most energetic trance tunes ever made !	System F
12	34	471	2002 & 2003	Phatt Bass It's the Warp Brothers' hard house / techno debut single from the Summer Of 2000 that was eventually promoted as "[The Blade Theme]" due to its sampling of the New Order track "Confusion" which was featured in the rave scene of the original 1998 "Blade" movie with Wesley Snipes. It was a TOP 10 pop smash in the U.K. at the end of 2000. It was on the German duo's 2002 worldwide debut album "Warp 10" as well as their 2003 U.S. debut album "Warp Factor".	Warp Brothers Vs. Aquagen
2	30	766	2002	Rapture (Tastes So Sweet) Iio are DJ-producer-songwriter Markus Moser and singer-songwriter Nadia Ali. The Riva Mix of this track made it onto our chart during the 2ND week of our 'Pure Dance Era' in January 2002, and it remained with us for 30 weeks. It was the # 10 hit overall in 2002. They followed it up in 2003 with "At The End" which spent 38 weeks on our chart.	Iio
3	18	541	2002	Resurection Sergei Pimenov and Alexander Polyakov were the duo of PPK out of Russia. This was their breakthrough trance smash in 2002 that migrated westward and made a worldwide impact. It was a long-running smash on the U.K. pop chart early on in 2002 - peaking at # 3. It spent 18 weeks on our Pure Dance Chart in 2002 including 12 weeks in a row in our TOP 10 and 5 weeks at its # 3 peak position. Watch the 3:24 video for this track.	PPK
11	8	150	2002	Return To Ibiza Once upon a time there was an all trance and techno station on the radio airwaves of Orlando - 95.3-PARTY. On a 2002 trip to Orlando I discovered this techno track, and it set the tone for that vacation. It was a heavily-played track on PARTY that year in Orlando. Florida Breaks DJ Brad Smith was sad that he had to leave Ibiza, but then when the flight attendant announced that the plane would have to immediately "Return To Ibiza" he got so excited and broke out of his shell.	DJ Brad Smith
29	3	30	2002	Rock The Funky Beat I never even heard of this rockin' funky beat until February 2002 during the first few months of the 'Pure Dance' era of our chart. It was actually released in the U.K. back during the Autumn Of 1997. Check Check Check ...	Natural Born Chillers
--	--	--	2002	Shiny Disco Balls This funky techno track from Who Da Funk (the New Jersey production duo of Jorge 'DJ Lace' Jaramillo and Alex Alicea) was released back in the Summer Of 2002 during the peak of our 'Pure Dance Era', but it never made it onto our chart at the time. It's been HUGE on dancefloors all around the world though. Its vocal hook is simple and infectous, and it describes a wild night on the town !	Who Da Funk Ft. Jessica Eve
25	9	93	2002	Spin Spin Sugar This unique breakbeat trance track was first released in the U.K. in the Spring Of 1997, and it hit # 21 back then. A year later it was remixed by Armand Van Helden, and it hit # 46 on the U.K. chart. Fast forward to the Spring Of 2002 when it spent 9 weeks on our chart - peaking at # 25.	Sneaker Pimps
8	22	414	2002 & 2003	Synaesthesia (Fly Away) U.K. DJ Steve Helstrip is the man behind The Thrillseekers project. MASSIVE Memory artist Paul Van Dyk heavily promoted (Steve's) 1998 instrumental trance track in 1999 and 2000 and eventually remixed it and added vocals by Sheryl Deane. This new version hit the TOP 30 on the U.K. pop chart in February of 2001. It was on our 'Pure Dance Chart' more than a year later throughout 2002 and even into 2003.	The Thrillseekers Ft. Sheryl Deane
5	20	402	2002	Take Me Where You Are In the Summer Of 2002 Fiori released her album "Heaven". The lead-off track on it was this trance smash that was a HUGE hit at the time on Florida's pure dance 'PARTY' stations - Miami's WPYM and Orlando's WPYO. The final track on the album was the Spanish version of it. The album also included Fiori's debut single "If I" which was a dance smash two years earlier in 2000. DJ Fluid produced both tracks.	Fiori
--	--	--	2002	The Middle We were in a Pure Dance state of mind in 2002, so this pop-rockin' inspirational tune from their self-titled CD (originally sold as "Bleed American") didn't have a chance to compete. But it was MASSIVE on the U.S. pop chart where it spent nearly 8 months and hit the TOP 5. It just takes some time (little girl) you're in "The Middle" of the ride. Everything (everything) will be just fine. Everything (everything) will be alright (alright).	Jimmy Eat World
1	15	487	2002 & 2003	The Way (Put Your Hand In My Hand) Once upon a time I spent nearly two hours burning up the MASSIVE revolving circular dance floor of Mannequin's Dance Palace at Downtown Disney's Pleasure Island. It was great to see some of the regulars there including the one and only Techno Larry with all of his neon lights. When this song got cranked up everyone went nuts, and when it hit its pinnacle the air jets above exploded onto us as we danced blindly into the brief chill and fog. What a night to remember !	Divine Inspiration
2	36	888	2002	Tremble Marc Romboy and Klaus Derichs were on our chart for 36 weeks in a row in 2002 during the peak of our 'Pure Dance Era' with this vocal trance gem. It received heavy airplay during much of 2002 on 'PARTY-93.1' - South Florida's Pure Dance Channel. They played the 'WPYM Edit' - their own remix of it. The CD maxi-single and the double vinyl single included 7 different versions of it.	Marc Et Claude
1	36	1088	2002	Turn The Tide Sylver consists of female vocalist Silvy De Bie and DJ, writer, and keyboardist Wout Van Dessel - both from Belgium. This track from their debut CD "Chances" literally kicked-off our 'Pure Dance Era' here at MASSIVESMASH.COM. It debuted on our chart during the very first week of January 2002 at # 40. The very next week it zoomed up 38 notches to # 2, and all told it spent 36 weeks on our chart in 2002 including 23 weeks in the TOP 10, 20 weeks in the TOP 5, 15 weeks in the TOP 3, and 3 weeks at # 1. It finished the year as the # 4 smash overall.	Sylver
9	10	197	2002	Use Your Luv This is what happens when you take a 1986 U.S. pop smash and turn it into a 21ST Century breakbeat smash. It's based on the guitar riff and chorus of "Your Love" from The Outfield with samples from the original hit. This was a smash in Tampa, Orlando, and Miami in 2000, 2001, and 2002 where a lot of great techno and breakbeat music originates. It spent 10 weeks on our 'Pure Dance Chart' during the Summer Of 2002.	DJ X
4	24	646	2002	What's Luv (Got To Do With It) ? It wasn't trance, techno, or even HI-NRG pop. Yet it was still dominant during the epicenter of our Pure Dance era. It spent 24 weeks in a row on our chart from March to August of 2002, and it was our highest-charting non-dance hit of the entire year - finishing as the # 15 smash of 2002.	Fat Joe Ft. Ashanti
5	24	515	2002	What U Did 2 Me New York born Rockell scored 5 hits on our chart from 1997 to 2002 - "I Fell In Love" (# 8 in 1997), "In A Dream" (# 19 in 1998), "Can't We Try" (# 4 in 1998), "When I'm Gone" (# 27 in 1999), and this final TOP 5 smash that spent 24 consecutive weeks on our chart in 2002. It was on her "Instant Pleasure" album that was released in October 2000. The CD single of this club dance smash (released in 2001) contained 7 different remixes on it.	Rockell
