Top 10 Best DJ Tiesto Songs
Starting out in the Netherlands in the late 1990s, Tiesto quickly became one of the biggest names in the trance scene. Albums like In My Memory and Just Be solidified his place as a pioneer, with tracks that pushed boundaries and inspired an entire generation of producers. His ability to create songs that balance emotional melodies with pulsating beats has been one of his strongest assets, and his performances at events like Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival are the stuff of legend.
As his sound evolved, Tiesto embraced elements of house, pop, and big-room EDM, proving that his talent for crafting unforgettable tracks transcends any single genre.
These tracks are a mix of fan favorites and widely recognized hits that showcase his ability to blend energy and emotion in a way few can replicate.

Adagio for Strings
Out of all the genres that I listen to, which are many, this is possibly the greatest song of all time. Credits go to Samuel Barber for releasing the original, and to Tiesto for absolutely nailing it! Every time I listen to it, I lose myself. It puts me into a whole new world!
Without a doubt, Tiesto is the greatest DJ to walk the planet. Long live the greatest DJ in the world!
Although this track samples a classical composition meant for tragic events like the Vietnam War, the overall atmosphere of this track will make you temporarily lose touch with reality. Its heavily distorted synths, rapid progression lasting 9 minutes, and complex scale structure drive your brain chemicals into a state of trance.
To allow further loss of identification with the matter around you, listen to this track while on MDMA!

Urban Train
This song is literally the greatest song of all time. Extraordinary synths and an amazing feel. Absolutely no song can top this. Tiesto is the music king (besides Metallica). We need more songs like this. Even more songs like this probably couldn't top this.
Also known as "Suburban Train," this great tune is the song that originally turned me on to Tiesto. Much better than his newer stuff, in my humble opinion.
A superb trance song from his first album, In My Memory.

Traffic
First Tiesto track I've ever heard. The best choice for driving in a big, lively city on a summer night!
One of the most well-known club hits.
The beginning is very danceable and awesome.
-
Red Lights
What's this? Alright, the people who rate the top ten really need to hear this song because it's just amazing! Great vocals with an amazing beat!
I think this should be the top 1, even though Adagio for Strings has nostalgic value. This song can be heard on a loop.
Come on, vote for it! It is such an amazing song with beautiful vocals! Those beats are sick! I just love this song!
-
Elements of Life
Best song to work out to in the world. Hands down. It will make you feel like you are doing something profoundly epic!
Not only the BEST Tiesto track but the best trance track ever made by any DJ. This is simply out of this world! An adrenaline-pumping track! Tiesto at his best!
This is epic! There's no other DJ capable of doing something like this. It's just amazing. The drums, the melody... He is simply the best DJ ever.
-
Maximal Crazy
I first heard this track in the Hardwell documentary "I Am Hardwell." He was performing in Breda and asked the crowd to simply sit down. When the 'Maximal Crazy' part dropped, my gut clenched, my eyes welled up, and my brain released a euphoric hormone.
It's funny how so many people out there think that electronic music is emotionless. This track made me happy. It was such a rare moment.
I would do almost anything to see this song live. Listening to it and imagining being in a huge, pumped-up crowd and just losing it to this song would be one of the most amazing things I can think of. Best song, in my opinion, with 'Adagio for Strings' right after.
-
Silence
This is the greatest trance song of all time and is also a prime example of Tiesto at his best, closely followed by Adagio for Strings!
I'll just say this: This song was voted the greatest trance song of all time. But somehow it's Tiesto's 27th greatest song?
Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? Silence at 28? This should be in the top 3 at least.
-
Just Be
Why is it rated so low? It should be number 1!
In my opinion, the greatest electronic execution in modern history.
-
Dance 4 Life
This song rocks and has some of the best beat patterns ever.
-
I Will Be Here
20? Really? This is insane. This song is probably one of the best in the history of DJing.

Can't Forget

Calling on Angels

Lethal Industry
All these years later and it's still a banger.
This one was a milestone, so it's a crystal-clear number 1, and it hasn't lost one bit of its awesomeness.
-
A Town Called Paradise
-
C'mon
It's a powerful, energetic party blaster that must be heard. Yes, it departs from Tiesto's original trance, but that does not mean it's terrible. It's a great song at parties and feels like no other song I've listened to.
Greatest song ever by Tiesto, Busta Rhymes, and Diplo. I love it. Great rap by Busta, and great beat by Tiesto and Diplo. Just listen to it.
-
Century
The best song by Tiësto I have ever heard. It should be in the top 5!
Hey, this is good! Doesn't deserve #45.
-
Love Comes Again
-
The Only Way Is Up
-
Forever Today
This song is better than 'Adagio for Strings' (Adagio for Strings is still a fantastic song). Twelve minutes of epic electronic music. There is an orchestral part in the beginning which is spellbinding.
The best track in electronic music. Period.
Amazing song with amazing versatility.
-
Zero 76
Yup, this is a winner. Even the stillest of stones cannot help but dance to this awesome epic song.
-
Escape Me
This is probably the most powerful song to boost a day's energy.
-
In The Dark
Amazing! Should be second just after 'Adagio for Strings.' This is the first song I heard by Tiesto. It made me explore other compositions by him. Download it if you haven't. You'll feel a connection with it!
Best lyric song besides Break My Fall on the album Elements of Life (one of the best albums ever).
It is something that explains the words of my soul. After hearing this track, I've become completely addicted to Tiesto, the greatest DJ. Thank you, Tiesto, great job.
-
Chemicals
The drop in this song is awesome. The mix of Tiësto and Don Diablo is perfect.
-
Wasted
How is this not at the top? It's got a great chorus and beat and was the ultimate summer party song of 2014.
I like it better when we're wasted. Amazing hook. I'm sure with time it will make the top ten list.
Why isn't it in the top ten? Heck!
-
We Own the Night
What the heck is this one doing here?! 24? No! FML. This is my favorite Tiesto track. The beat drops are amazing, and Luciana nailed it as well.
People, vote!
My personal favorite by Tiesto. This song probably proves he is one of the best DJs in the world.
This song is amazing. I don't know what it's doing down here!
-
Secrets
Love this! Always makes me want to jump and dance!
Love it!
Such a good song.
One of my favorite songs ever!
