Posted July 22, 20168 yr Hello Buzzjackers and welcome to the Dance Chart Number Ones of the 2000s. :cheer: As you are familiar, in this thread we will post a chronological run-down of all the singles that would have reached number 1 if only dance singles had been available to purchase in the 2000s. There are about 185 of these. Of course, many dance singles did reach number 1 in that decade and we will see if their run at the top could have been extended if there were no competition from other genres. Some of them you'll be very familiar with and others you've likely not heard much of, if at all. There will be disputes about what constitutes dance as ever. These have been discussed with the hosting team. It has been decided that some songs that are very much on the line between dance and pop have been excluded such as Madonna's 'Hung Up' and The Black Eyed Peas 'I Gotta Feeling'. Oppositely, novelty dance songs such as those by Crazy Frog will be included. During the 00s many trends happened, which will be reflected here. These include UK Garage (2000-01), trance (2000-03), eurodance (2003-05 and again in 2006-08), funky and looped house (2004-06), electro-house (2006-07), bassline garage (2007-08) and progressive house (2008-09). Which acts will get their well deserved spell on the top of the pile, when in reality they were thwarted by some humongous selling pop song? Who kept hold of the dance #1 even when they weren't top 40 in the official chart? What kind of house music will take the most #1s? How will trance and garage do? Discuss and predict here. _____________________________________________________ The countdown will begin following the chart show where TheSnake/Mountain Marquis will give us the first two Dance #01s of 2000, one of which also appeared in the 90s thread. Also helping run the thread will be Ethan and myself. Also, shoutout to Colm for the idea and format of this thread. Alas, his interest in dance music is mostly with the 90s decade so he won't be doing any writeups here. _____________________________________________________ Reference 2000 Artful Dodger (feat.

July 22, 20168 yr Yay, nice to see this continuing with the 2000s :dance: Thank you guys :wub: (PS: I just hope TheSnake/Mountain Marquis won't post everything twice :heehee:)
July 22, 20168 yr Ah right, I remember this in the dance forum :P I presumed it'd be moved over to here eventually :heehee:
July 22, 20168 yr Take two :D The early noughties will be the most interesting with a lot of songs not well-known as in some cases the #1 Dance song was only in the 20s or 30s in the official chart so keep an eye out for those ;)
July 22, 20168 yr I will be commenting! Hoping for hits for Moloko, Darude, Delirium, and maybe Missy Elliot's 4 My People. Rui da Silva, Roger Sanchez, Ian Van Dahl, Daniel Beddingfield
July 22, 20168 yr I am hoping the Saint Etienne / Paul Van Dyk has made it in 2000, but I have a sinking feeling that it won't. I started a personal chart in 2000 so will be interesting to see how many number 1s I share given my tastes were much more ~mainstream~ and UK Top 40 orientated back then. HYPED!
July 22, 20168 yr I will be commenting! Hoping for hits for Moloko, Darude, Delirium, and maybe Missy Elliot's 4 My People. Rui da Silva, Roger Sanchez, Ian Van Dahl, Daniel Beddingfield Me too :heehee: :kink: (apart from the last one) :D
July 22, 20168 yr We have started now. I hope the formatting is OK. Edited July 22, 20168 yr by Mountain Marquis
July 22, 20168 yr (PS: I just hope TheSnake/Mountain Marquis won't post everything twice :heehee:) He did it -_-
July 22, 20168 yr Obviously a genius track which stands up to playing to day and for many the peak of UK Garage. It had sold 390,000 in 1999 alone. I wonder what it's total sales were in the end - perhaps 600,000?
July 22, 20168 yr Can ben get it back, i didn't save it. Can ben get it back, i didn't save it. Why did you edit the first one? Plus please please please stop clicking twice on send message and this won't happen again!
July 22, 20168 yr OH NO! This would never have happened in my day! :lol: Edited July 22, 20168 yr by Colm
July 22, 20168 yr Author SAVED. Artful Dodger ft Craig David - Re-Rewind - The Crowd Say Bo Selecta http://static1.q-music.vmmacdn.be/d/6e/b2/92/782021/The_Artful_Dodger__E2_80_93_Re-rewind.jpg Date 2nd Jan 2000 3 Weeks Official Chart Run 2-2-6-5-3-2-3-7-11-17-21-29-34-52-60-62-64-x (17 weeks) (note the three in red are only for 2000, not 1999) WPmhmmeajW0 An array of interesting sound effects in this one. Breaking glass, cars screeching and of course that squelching sound 'Craig David all over your *squelch*'. I assume it covers up an assumed swear word although I don't know. The video for the song features the extremely serious looking Artful Dodger but Craig David appears to be absent. Of course this is the song that launched Craig David as a musical force and arguably UK Garage into the mainstream although there were a few UK Garage hit songs like 'Sweet Like Chocolate' by Shanks and Bigfoot before this. Of course it was the inspiration for the name of the hit comedy show 'Bo Selecta' where comedian Leigh Francis had a spoof Craig David type character. Leigh Francis now goes by the name Keith Lemon in his comedy programmes. Artful Dodger are from Southampton and got their name from a character in Oliver Twist because they were making so many bootlegs in the early days of their career. Craig David is also from the city, so this is a Saints special. :teresa: He later had a hit 'When The Bassline Drops' in 2015 which made subtle references to this song in the lyrics. commentary by Mountain Marquis
July 22, 20168 yr omg mess !!! Ben deleted the wrong one :heehee: No, I didn't, I deleted the second one. At least if you post something twice than don't edit the first post because the second willbe deleted. ;)
