This is a very 'smiley' EQ curve on this mix, and I think you've probably gone too far in that direction, even for the charts. The problem is that you can't really turn this up at all without hurting your ears -- it's too harsh at the high end -- and the bass doesn't really transfer well to smaller listening systems. Do you really need that much 1-3kHz on that distorted synth pad? It's really interfering with the vocal transmission for me, and means that you've having to push the vocal presence frequencies into the pain zone to reclaim their intelligibility.
As with jorger's mix, I think the kick needs more low end on it than this, even in the charts. It might be that you need to trigger a sample for that component if it's not there on the multitracks, but one way or another it feels that there's something missing at the moment.
