January 14, 2025 – Armada Music, the world’s biggest independent dance music label and a pillar of Armada Music Group, has been named the Top Label of 2024 by 1001Tracklists. The label receives the recognition as part of 1001Tracklists’ A State Of Dance Music report, revealing the tracks—and by extension, the labels— that have received the most support from DJs across the year.
Across tracks, Adam Beyer, Green Velvet and Layton Giordani’s rendition of Sharam’s ‘Party All The Time’ (a joint release with Drumcode), claimed #7 in Top 10 Tracks and #3 in Most Heard Tracks, spearheading the label’s 15 tracks in the Top 200, including David Guetta, Mason and Princess Superstar’s ‘Perfect (Exceeder)’, D.O.D and Charlotte Haining’s ‘Feel The Passion,’ and Green Velvet and Patrick Topping’s ‘Mad Motion’.
Elsewhere, label boss Armin van Buuren secured two spots in Top 10 Tracklists with his standout sets at Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland, and claimed #2 in Top Radio Shows. These achievements underscore the label’s impact across the DJ circuit, and serve as a testament to Armada Music’s success on the global stage.
