Top 50 Best Progressive House Songs

About the Genre Progressive House

Progressive house is a subgenre of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) with focus on vocals and melodies, the focus is mainly on the melody in this genre. Progressive house is often confused for Trance or Big Room House. The main difference between trance and Progressive house is the kind of melodies, Trance melodies are more euphoric and Progressive House melodies feel more dreamy or dark. Melodic Big Room House is often confused for Progressive House because of the roots of this genre. Many Big Room producers used to make Progressive House in their early days. Another reason the Genres Big Room and Progressive House are intertwined is because the site Beatport started classifying tracks as Big Room from 2016, prior to that all tracks were labeled Progressive House. Not all songs on this list are currently classed as Progressive House, but once were or the artist that made the track once was.
