A STATE OF TRANCE RADIO SUPPORT

Tune Of The Week
Armin has always supported Rank 1 on his ASOT radioshow with Such Is Life appearing in the very first instalment. Throughout the years, Armin has supported every Rank 1 single (bar After Me, but since this was the B-side to the much more popular and more club-fit Beats At Rank-1 Dotcom, that's no surprise, really) and the majority of their remixes. Below you will find the episodes listed where Rank 1 delivered Armin's favorite track for that week.

A State Of Trance Top 1000 Voting
Back in 2010, Armin came up with the idea to do an ASOT Top 1000 voting. Ever since, there have been several editions from time-to-time. So far, Rank 1 have steadily been represented with tracks in the double digits across every poll, albeit the tracks people vote for tend to vary in the first half of these Top 1000 lists. They got agonisingly close in the inaugural 2010 edition and then won the second edition in 2011 with Airwave. Curious how our boys fare in these polls? Check out how they did below:
