More than 150 disc jockeys, journalists and music producers from all over the World voted in this edition, which featured 41 Countries. Different styles and genres were represented: from dance-pop music to ethnic and turbo-folk rhythms to the more actual electro-dance sounds.
Winner of the 2007 Eurodanceweb award is Ultrabeat vs. Darren Styles with “Sure Feels Good”, representing the United Kingdom. Ultrabeat is three producers Mike Di Scala, Chris Henry and Ian Redman from Liverpool, who became very successful in the British dance scene with the hit singles “Pretty Green Eyes” (#2 in the Official UK singles chart), “Feeling Fine” and their summer 2006 single “Elysium”. In September 2007 they released their very first album simply entitled “The Album” which charted at number 8 in the Official UK sales charts. Darren Styles has been on the dance scene for over 13 years and has become one of the most popular British hardore disc jockeys. In 1999 Darren teamed up with another hardcore DJ, Mark Breeze, and together they formed Styles & Breeze, chosen as the 2005 British entry for the Eurodanceweb award with “Heartbeatz”. Darren is also responsible along with Breeze for the biggest selling UK hardcore compilation series – Clubland X-Treme Hardcore. Vocalist of “Sure Feels Good” is Rebecca Rudd.
Norway placed second with the Vasco & Millboy remix of Malin Schavenius’ “Under Stjernene”, which entered the 2007 Norsk Melodi Grand Prix, the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. Vasco & Millboy are Jorge Vasconcelo and Juha Myllylä, two well-known disc jockeys and producers from Sweden who remixed several songs of Swedish artists such as Da Buzz, Tess and Caramell.
2007 proved to be a successful year for Scandinavia since Sweden achieved third place with Feelin’me” by Therese, which was released in the spring of 2007. Eurodance fans may remember her as the lead vocalist of Drömhus, who in the late Nineties released many successful hits such as “Vill Ha Dig” and “Stjärna På Himmelen”. She then co-worked with the Swedish DJ and producer Stonebridge, who in 2002 remixed her first solo single, “Monkey”, and later invited her to sing two songs which became international hits, “Put Em High”, “Take Me Away”.
Among other big names taking part to this year’s Eurodanceweb chart, we must remember the Danish group Infernal, who topped the charts all over the world with “From Paris to Berlin”, “From A to the B” and many other hits! They represent their Country at Eurodance with “I Won’t Be Crying”.Other famous artists competing this year are the Dutch singer Liz Kay, who has topped the charts in several European Countries with her debut single “When Love Becomes A Lie”, produced by Zooland Records (the same record company of the popular German dance act Cascada). Another familiar name is Double You, who in 1992 sang the cover of “Please Don’t Go” that became an ever-green in the Eurodance scene. He represents Italy this year with Dj Ross and his brand new single entitled “To The Beat”.

The 2007 Eurodanceweb line-up featured also some come-backs. The winners of the very first edition of our song contest, the Croatian dance band Colonia, have been chosen to represent their country for the second time with the song “Do Kraja”. After a 4 year-break Iceland takes part again to the Eurodanceweb chart with the song “Vil Annan Dag I Paradis” performed by Bjarthar Thordarson.After its debut in the 2005 edition, Cyprus participates for the second time with Despoina Olympious and the remix of her latest big hit “Pes To Dunata”.
For the second first time, users had the chance to vote their favourite song directly on this website. From August 2007 to December 2007 a total number of 44,473 votes were cast. Winner of this poll was the Turkish entry “Zordur Oglum” by Ziynet Sali. Ziynet Sali was born Northern Cyprus, where she has recently won the award for Best Female Performer, and she moved to Turkey 16 years ago. The song ‘Zordur Oglum’ is taken from her third album “Mor Yýllar”, released last year, which features songs in Turkish and Greek.
During 2007 the Eurodance competition received a very deep coverage on Turkish media, with articles published in leading newspapers such as “Hurryiet” (Turkey’s number one daily newspaper), giving Ziynet a good promotion which helped her to reach the top of the Poll.
Slovenia placed second with the Dee Jay Time by D.Z. Shark And M Dee J Remix “Vrni se” by Spelca, member of the pop band Atomik Harmonik. This act is known not only in its homeland but also internationally, for hits such as “Turbopolka” and “Polkaholic”, which entered EMA 2006, the Slovene selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. The team of disc jockeys who remixed “Vrni Se” has a daily show on Radio Salomon, a commercial radio station based in Ljubljana specialized in pop and dance music.
The third place of the Eurodanceweb Readers’poll was achieved by Anelia with ‘Samo Za Mig’. Anelia is one of the rising stars of chalga, a typical Bulgarian music genre inspired by the Serbian turbo-folk that mixes typical folk elements with more modern and dance tunes.
A total number of 44457 readers voted this year and confirmed the strong interest Eurodance is achieving especially in Eastern Europe.
