Last few years has seen Dance music get increasingly interested in the numbers game that goes on behind the various aspects of being an artists and producer. With the rise in digital sales and technology, it has also become an important aspect for artists to keep a lookout for the digits they’re raking up on the sales platforms. While Beatport, one of the industry’s leading online sales platform, does not release statistics for general public, the neat work has been done by an independent source named Beatstats. As for what the statistics have to say for Trance as a genre, well, its a mix of the interesting and the exciting.

As expected Armin van Buuren and Above & Beyond make the cut among the Top artists – the Dutchman is first – but the latter have been pipped by the highly talented Argentinian duo of Heabeat, who have landed the second place on the list. Among the rest are Standerwick, RAM, Stoneface & Terminal, James Dymond and Alex M.O.R.P.H. in no particular order.
