Traxsource has published their list of the top 100 and except for screaming at each other over the order, it's... pretty much about right. Granted, this is what you'd expect from a sales list (which not even the Grammies, the ultimate beauty contest for industry pinheads, is about), and I'm guessing that's what this is because there's no explanation whatsoever attached to it.
(Perhaps an issue to discuss at another time is how it came to be that two of the largest commercial vendors of dance music on the 'net (Beatportal and to a lesser extent Traxsource itself) came to also dabble in journalism, which to my mind no healthy industry has tolerated at any time in history.)
But! The top ten:
01: Mr.V - Tales From The Deepside 2 - SOLE Channel
02: Mishal Moore - Oh Lord (Incl. Kenny Dope + MuthaFunkaz Mixes) - Ill Friction
