My most recent Top 25 Dance Chart was posted yesterday. Following are some highlights:

• The incredible track from Ameerah, The Sound of Missing You takes-up the #1 spot. I’ve blogged about the track before, and it really is a great example of a solid blend of songwriting, vocal and production.
• High school girls take-up two high positions, Gia Bella at #2 with Back it Up, and Jessica Jarrell at #5 with Armageddon. I wish I understood how and why 17 year olds end-up being dance vocalists, but with these two tracks, who really cares? They’re both great tracks with all the right parts in all the right places.
• A new entry this week is a fabulous track at #20 from Canada’s Divine Brown, Sunglasses. We’ve been playing this one on iDanceRadio.fm for weeks, but for some reason didn’t get the track into my pool of DJ music. The production has some cool and unusual elements that are infectious, and Brown’s vocals are hot.
• One of my adds for the week is a new track from Ann Lee, whose 2006 tracks 2 Times was a global hit. This time around, it’s 2 People, and it’s a laid back, pleasant track with a nice groove. I play the great remix from Italy’s Favretto, whose work I’ve long admired.

Listen for these tracks and more each Friday night during the DJ Wesley Friday Night House party on iDanceRadio.fm, and of course, at other gigs as they happen.
