Top 25 Hardstyle Tracks Of 2018

Yes, Ran-D - Hurricane is missing from the list because it's just a pop song in Hardstyle form. I don't like it, and remember this is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

[@kpapenburg102]

Still think the Qlimax anthem is way too overhyped

[@lucasmaciel3062]

And Axelade is the best music channel on KZbin.

[@botyorick]

@@kpapenburg102 it's not even an anthem just a SZP Track

[@ManuelGonzalez-mq1cz]

I vote for udex yaaaaas

[@joey4878]

Phuture Noize’s set on Qlimax was the best set of the year in my opinion.

[@Image-vj3jz]

Making a top 10 for best hardstyle songs this year is impossible for me. There is just way too many songs that deserve the top 10. Though I really hope Myst and Keltek is on the Q dance top 10. They both deserve it big time.

[@praxs9476]

This year's one will be a million times harder. At least more than a half year passed, and you surely put Rejecta's whole album, and many more.

[@dhamirik]

This is the best year of Hardstyle in 2010's timeline. Hardstyle just keep being better as time progesses. I am truly excited for Hardstyle in 2019! For the list, I feel sad that Evergreen isn't listed, but The Eternal Begining, Twilight Zone, Dark Sun, Heartbeat, Drift Away, Circles and Squares and Our Church just complete to summarize 2018 for me, and curb the sadness hahaha. Dope AF list by the way Axelade

[@smolbo1]

Sleqroth 2016 was better

[@andrefelipecavalcantegouve371]

MÄSs 2016 was trash to be honest...

[@Axelade]

It's a pattern. 2007 and 2017 were good. 2008 and 2018 were really good. And everyone calls 2009 the best year of Hardstyle, so let's see :)

[@SF-tw6uz]

Good joke, just look at the stuff headhunterz and noisecontrollers alone released in 2011/12, beats all tracks in this video

[@kanelandes3485]

Sleqroth hey uhhh 2012-2013 existed and were the best 2 years easily Symbols-World of Madness- Fate or Fortune/ Weekend Warriors/ Twilight Zone mmmmm good years

[@iamneophyte]

What a year. When you thought at the beginning: "man, headhunterz is back, this year has its best moment right at the start!",but then at defqon: "with black mirror society and ghost stories, what can still top that this year?" and then later on "how can PN still top this with his ep and we are the fallen?!". And this leaves out the other 2/3s of the scene.

[@SenzationZ]

_Adrenalize & ADN - Get Up_ is simply heaven of hardstyle! :) Also glad you didn't include 'Hurricane' by Ran-D, although many people liked it (and probably will hate on you because of that)... I would have probably chosen similiar tracks, but I would add an 'DBSTF - Gave U My Love', because that's just a Banger with big B! :)

[@Axelade]

Plugged a bit about Hurricane in the description so I won't get obliterated by the people who like it 🤞

[@SenzationZ]

Yes, I am reading it right now. But you know people... 😃

[@josemiguelsilvalopes103]

@@SenzationZ Completely agree on Adrenalize's Get Up... Such a piece of art! I actually like Hurricane but I don't think that deserved to be in this top anyway so...

Hyperspace by Phuture noize is one of the best tracks out there.

[@krex5990]

the hole BMS stuff is out of this world

[@andrefelipecavalcantegouve371]

Edge of Glory and A New Day are better

[@botyorick]

@@andrefelipecavalcantegouve371 yeah I would say edge of glory, new day, hyperspace in this order

[@markushaland1633]

they are sick!

[@therealamunaaminam]

And now they ruined the scene

[@timopomer]

I think making a comparison in the end of the year is problematic, because you’re biased to like the new songs

[@MrGutschii]

My top 5: 1. Phuture Noize - Black Mirror Society 2. Keltek - Dark Sun 3. Phuture Noize - A New Day 4. Phuture Noize - Circles and Squares 5. Da Tweekaz - Bring Me to Life

Evergreen - wasted penguinz 😭

[@samkarro]

Same, thought it would be in the top 5

[@amit24shilaev73]

Masterpiece

[@prabhakars2224]

Even I thought that it would be in top 5 or at least top 10😢 But again he also did not include hurricane so I guess it comes down to personal choice .

[@jesusmt1203]

One of my favorites.

[@Bruzaaaaaaa]

Euphoria , a life time memories ...

[@LichtDrachenstein]

I Agree that you did'nt include Ran-D - Hurricane The Climax sounds Empty... I can't even feel the vibes of the track... Nice Vid BTW Also... Touch A Star is Great... I vote it at Axelade Awards

[@r34bwoi]

Twilight Zone😍😍 DBSTF is the real champ of hardstyle

[@samkarro]

Yoo i found a cuber

[@a13mp4]

I’m really with Sub Zero Project this year as well as Da Tweekaz, they made really good songs this year as well, Especially Reverze! Also, I'm kinda salty you didn't include any of Da Tweekaz's tracks here, they had such a good year in producing songs!

[@dylanjansen3839]

Smackboy Probably because he thinks Da Tweekaz is too mainstream.

[@OwkeejGamers]

Da Tweekaz wasn't revolutionary to me, the same style all the time even though i liked them

[@nexius8699]

Great view on a great year for hardstyle. Phuture noise killed it this year. Rejecta was growing like an mad man (desirved) Some nice anthems. And a lot of other great stuff! Thank you for this amazing year family❤️🔊

[@AlexisBlondeau-on4qx]

Only bangers, 2018 was such a beautiful year..😍

[@thomaschapel5328]

Thanks Axelade, thanks for all these videos. This one is perfect, like each time. Congratulations from France Vive la Hard Music !

[@joey4878]

Pretty Solid list, disagree about some songs, but thats where an opinion is all about, right? What an unbelievable year for Marco, first BMS and last week the release of “ A New Day” which are also really good tracks. An insane year for Myst, Rejecta and D-sturb as well, they really deserved it tho.

[@Mathys62Dreams]

Insane year for SZP too ! Where is D-Sturb in his top 25 ?

[@squidwardshouse67]

Yeah definitely could use some D-Sturb in there. But it’s a good list nonetheless.

[@Baum1999]

Edge of Glory is sooo sick tho

[@orangeheartedfrisian6126]

Great list! Had a hard time deciding this year so must have been frustrating to make this list. Agree on a lot of them.

[@Nolanimations]

Man time moves fast, great to hear back all the great tracks that were made this year!

[@stgma8609]

Withing this video you have probably feautured almost all of my all time favourites. I could have made the list even bigger because in 2018 so many good hardstyle tracks were released. I bet it was quite hard to choose just 25. Great video as always!!

Wait where is Phuture Noize - Lost in the Moment tho? I remember you commenting it was track of the year for you when it came out. Great list for the rest I only don't agree on #2 and #3 being that high up.

[@Axelade]

Already had plenty of PN in this video and didn't want to include more.

[@jonasbijlsma9943]

Yeah fair point, you could include literally his whole album here but would be a bit much lol

[@m0pix]

Circles & squares

[@pejwl_music]

totally agree. circles & squares is the best track of 2k18

[@jefferyleo]

I really really really love Circles & Squares, it's my most favorite hardstyle song in 2018

[@tomdehaas6321]

For me the best track was MYST - I'm Falling by far. That song just gives me so much energy and the melody just sounds really nice. Also I though evergreen would be in the top 5 but it didn't even make the top 25...

of gay hardstyle* Rawphoric is bullshit

[@botyorick]

My personal top 5 in no particular order are: 1. Circles and Squares-PN 2. I'm falling- MYST 3. Touch a Star-Adaro, BFront, Dawnfire 4. Chord IV-clockartz (not quite as well known but a fucking banger) 5. Dark Sun-Keltek Best Producer could go to: Phuture Noize, Myst or Keltek. All of them had an incredible year and they would deserve it (but it'll probably HHZ or SR maybe SBZ)

A bit disappointed that there is not a single track from Vazard's Chapters of the Mind

[@andrefelipecavalcantegouve371]

GermanGlob agree Vazard's album is amazing

[@Axelade]

Chapters Of The Mind is my second favourite album of this year and I would've happily included Auroras or Seeker Of Fire. But I did a lot of digging on Reddit, Harderstate and Hardtraxx and people seemed to didn't consider them Top 25 material. I just wanted to make a list the public appreciated so I left out that album :(

[@andrefelipecavalcantegouve371]

Axelade i think it's because Vazard is underrated af :(

[@laurazucchiatti8761]

Great tracks 😍

[@Hardcrafter2807]

How is Hurricane pop in hardstyle form? You play Hurricane to a pop audience and they will not like it what so ever. It has a great melody and it's a great track in general, not in my top ten but still great.

[@richardjansen3995]

That's not what he meant with it being a pop song in hardstyle

[@hardstylegrandpa1516]

Of course this channel owner is dumbass who is obsessed with Phuture Noize.

[@Hardcrafter2807]

Well I do love Phuture Noize but I just don’t understand how one judges a raw hardstyle track to be a “pop song”. Is it because there’s a lot of singing vocals? In that case even tracks like Fire would been considered “pop”.

[@Axelade]

@@Hardcrafter2807 Okay I think you got my point about it wrong. I meant Hurricane's vocals were very mainstream-y (try and compare these vocals to something like Yuna-X). I feel like the vocals were the prime focus of the track so people can singalong and the climax was just rushed, because I don't find it any good. Hope you understand what I am trying to say.

[@Hardcrafter2807]

Axelade I may be more open minded or something but I actually kinda like the whole “singalong”/ vocal-heavy concept in hardstyle songs, it makes songs far more memorable.

[@NumberOneNR]

E-Force - Salute, too

[@kostasskarletis6835]

Very good list. Even if I don’t like many tracks (wildstylez,headhunterz,adrenalize) I believe most of them will make it to the top 100 for me though followed no1

I agree in many points ...really good list 🔥

[@Morjens96]

I'm Falling

[@PartehmunzX]

Good list. I hope next year we will see the scene recognizing the more underrated artists. If it ever happens most of the effort would probably have to come from the big organizers stepping away from their trusted boring line-ups. Thanks for excluding the unlikeable Hurricane.
