Top 10 Best Armin Van Buuren Songs

Armin van Buuren has a way of making a track feel bigger than the room you're standing in. You get the shimmering builds, the emotional vocals, the kind of drops that make subtle head-nodding impossible unless you have the self-control of a museum statue.

His career stretches from classic trance anthems to polished progressive house, festival-ready collaborations, and vocal-driven tracks built for repeat plays. You can hear why he became one of dance music's most recognizable names, not just through singles and albums, but through the world he helped build around them.

Then there's A State of Trance, his long-running radio show that began in 2001 and has become a weekly ritual for trance fans across the globe. For many listeners, it has been part discovery engine, part community hub, and part excuse to stay emotionally attached to synths at an unreasonable volume.

1. This is What It Feels Like

   

   Oh! Amazing trance with its starting, "If I don't even know how I survive." Very touching words, deserve a Grammy. And 1st in the top 10 list.

   The best Armin van Buuren track I ever heard. Makes your mind cool and calm. Makes you forget all the sorrow. Just beautiful. Love it.

   The original mix and radio edit are romantic. But the Audien mix is attacking, which will make everybody dance all the way.

2. In and Out of Love

   

   This song stands out from all the rest. Even though it has repetitive lyrics, this does not hamper the serenity of the song a bit. It is quite strange that the song has virtually no distinct but has a greater undercurrent of meaning.

   Beautiful vocals and beautiful trance mix into this track, making it the best trance track of all time. Nothing will ever match this, and nothing ever can.

   Dance seldom involves such beautiful piano and buildup to the beat. I use this song to test speakers. It really touches the whole frequency range. With good speakers, you discover how rich the song is.

3. Intense

   

   Intense is the song that first made me notice Armin, and by far, it has been my most favorite of his collections. No matter how many times I hear his other best songs.

   Wow! This is what makes me go crazy. Must-listen song. Sure you'll dance along to the beats.

   So powerful! Such nostalgia, and yet so danceable. I love it!

4. Waiting for the Night

   

   The song is less trance. But the music will take your mind. This should be in the top 10.

   I was expecting it in the top ten. Come on, guys. This song deserves something better than where it is now.

   This song is amazing. It's ridiculous that it's sitting this low!

5. Face to Face

   

   The best song of Armin Van Buuren.

6. Not Giving Up On Love

   

   Really awesome song, people! Please listen to it!

   You'll fall in love with this one!

7. Save My Night

   

   This song is just worth listening to. If it's not enough, it will surely make your body excited as the tune is just far beyond comparison. The best song that no DJ can beat is the tune of Save My Night.

   It really saves you from getting bored. Won't be old even if you hear it 10,001 times. This song's place is at the top 1!

   Vote it up, fellas. Supersonic beats. Totally takes you on a joy ride!

   Brilliant song. Has a very catchy tune and is amazing!

8. Pulsar

   

   Yes, it should have been much higher. Top 5 no question. It is definitely one of the songs that got me into trance.

   Why is this song so down in the list? This song definitely deserves a top place. Perfect build-up. Great song.

   Found two weeks ago, and my iTunes tells me I've already listened to it 45 times.

9. Beautiful Life

   

   What a trance played at different pitches. This should definitely be in the top 5 instead of top 10.

   It simply makes me high, gives my life meaning. Amazing vocals and music. Armin van Buuren hands down!

   Takes me to another world when I close my eyes!

10. Youtopia

    

    I love this song. Armin van Buuren is the best DJ in the world, and I love Adam Young's voice!

    This song is the perfect combination of all sounds and vocals! This should be #1!

    Better than best! Great beats, great voice, great feeling! Just love this song!

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Heading Up High

    

    One of the best songs of the decade. Simply magnificent!

    Great combination of dance and rock.

12. ?

    I Need You

    

    The melody in the song keeps it from ever becoming boring!

The Contenders

13. Mirage

    

    Very few people can incorporate trance, classical, and rock music together in one track. Mirage blends the three perfectly and is a musical masterpiece. Number 1.

    I cannot believe this song is not at the top of the list!

    Best song by Armin and one of my top favorites of all time!

14. We are Here to Make Some Noise

    

    Great song. In my opinion, it would make an awesome soundtrack for an NFL game. Are there any football fans out there who like trance/techno music? Maybe once in a lifetime, Armin van Buuren would make a great halftime show during the Super Bowl.

    Could it take place in a 70,000 seat stadium where your favorite teams duke it out to score touchdowns? Which teams will dance to Armin van Buuren's songs while the game is on? Who could it be? Miami Dolphins vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers? New England Patriots vs. Los Angeles Rams? Cleveland Browns vs. Seattle Seahawks? Dallas Cowboys vs. Baltimore Ravens?

    Super Bowl 54 playlist:

    1. We Are Here to Make Some Noise

    2. Communication

    3. Blah Blah Blah

15. Communication

    

    I seriously have no idea why This is What It Feels Like is at 1 and this is low. No sign of Status Excessu D either.

    Classic, which will never be forgotten.

    This should always be number one.

16. Full Focus

    

17. Imagine

    

    Never bored from listening to it. Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful!

    Never makes you tired. Always new and lovely.

18. Blue Fear

    

19. I Surrender

    

    This is one of the best AVB songs up to now! It should be in the top ten. You should listen to it.

20. Orbion

    

    The changes of mood in this song are amazing. The "heart" sound was a great element in this song. Armin really knows how to change a concept from "this" to "that."

    Scrolled a lot more for this than I should have! I miss this sound. The new stuff I don't like.

21. Great Spirit

    

22. This Light Between Us

    

    Overlooked, but in my opinion, top 5 worthy for the breathtaking, dramatic, uplifting euphoria that you get from this trance/vocal combo.

    Transports you to another world.

23. Going Wrong

    

24. Suddenly Summer

    

    Loving the slow beat. Later it goes crazy.

25. Tuvan

    Love Armin, but let's get real. Some of his best stuff is under the Gaia moniker. Intense was alright, but Who's Afraid was the best track, and that doesn't even start to touch the likes of Tuvan or Empire of Hearts. Let's get the real trance perfection closer to the top, yeah? Waiting for the Night? Not bad, but not epic like this.

    Are you serious? This song is epic. Actually, I think that people are attracted to only commercial songs. But people, please see that it's not about which song is most commercially successful. See the talent. Listen to the real talent and then vote.

26. Burned With Desire

    A classic softer anthem for those traditional dance fans, this is a feeling song!

    This song is simply beautiful. It will take you away to a different world.

27. Humming the Lights

    

    This is one of those tracks that will go down in the history books of progressive music.

    Way too underrated. One of his best songs. The end is certainly pure adrenaline.
