I will be on the case tomorrow.
 Somebody's watching my progress certainly!I will go faster from now on, just have got distracted a bit by Buzzrate and being on Buzzjack less too recently because of the good weather. May even post two tomorrow, the second one is a mammoth dance number 1 run and there are plenty of great, superior I would say, dance tracks it sadly denied dance number 1 but I will mention them anyway.

Yep will do it in a few hours...promise! This next one even though it didn't reach official number 1 did very well in the charts indeed! It wouldn't be one of my favourites though, there was another song breaking its run at dance number 1 which is though that we will be doing after.

Infernal - From Paris To Berlin
 Date: Weeks at UK Dance #1: 10 weeks Official Chart Run: 34-4-3--4-3-2-3-4-6-6-7-9-15-19-24-27-27-36-45-55-61-72-73-83-92-90-87-97 (+1 week #93 6/1/2007) (29 weeks) This eurodance/house song was very big at the time, as shown by its chart run. It became the sixth biggest selling single of 2006 in the UK as a result. Infernal are a dance group from Denmark, who started off in 1997 , like many eurodance groups at the time with a trance sound which they maintained mostly until From Paris To Berlin was made in 2004. It wouldn't be until just under two years that the song was released in the UK, and as many times happened with big European dance tracks before the streaming age, it was released in the UK only after it had already become a hit over much of mainland Europe. The synths and production in From Paris To Berlin not too disimilar in style to the next dance number 1, and even quite a similar style of synths to some in From Paris To Berlin were used more recently in the second drop in Offaiah's hit 'Trouble'. There is also a brief guitar based part of From Paris To Berlin at about 2:38, perhaps along with the previous success of acoustic guitar based dance song Love Generation by Bob Sinclar and Gary Nesta Pine showing how this acoustic guitar dance trend was getting more popular in Europe, although it wouldn't be until the 2010s of course and the likes of Robin Schulz and Lost Frequencies that it would become a big European dance trend. The vocals are more poppy than most dance songs at the time, which is probably why i don't like this song as much. It is still very good especially in terms of production I think. I remember it from the time but considered it more pop than dance, and I think I did like it at the time, especially the production. Although when I heard it on dance classics shows on radio more recently I didn't like it quite as much because of the poppy vocal. I am starting to warm to it more as a song now again though, although I don't think it will ever be one of my favourite dance tracks of 2006. They had a second hit with Self Control (a cover of an 1984 Italo Disco song by Raf) which I actually prefer to From Paris To Berlin. It reached #18 in November 2006. |

Some fantastic dance tunes making the charts during the first two weeks of From Paris To Berlin at dance number 1. On the third week of course there is a new dance number 1 before From Paris To Berlin returned to dance number 1 for the next 8 weeks.
I will cover the rest of the dance songs making the charts during the second period of From Paris To Berlin at dance number 1 after that next dance number 1 that breaks up the two periods. #14. I would say this one would be trouse it has some trance style synths in the background but is a house song. A redone version of a Fleetwood Mac classic. I think I remember this version a bit from the time, although not much, sounds like the sort of thing I would have probably liked as the Fleetwood Mac song was a song I already liked at that time. Of course it isn't the first house version of this song to chart as The Corrs' version was remixed by Todd Terry and became a #6 hit in 1998. I think it is a very good remix but I still prefer The Corrs' Todd Terry remix. #17. I really like this one as you may expect. Was actually originally released in 2005 and didn't make top 40 but was re-released in April 2006 making the top 20. I remember it from the time and liked how retro it sounded. This song I actually heard last week played on Radio 1 too which was a nice surprise to hear. #8. After Leo Sayer being on a dance track with Meck, Stevie Nicks on the Dreams Deep Dish version and house veteran Barbara Tucker on the Blaze - Most Precious Love track, classic vocalists on dance tracks in early 2006 were a bit of a trend, and so here was Tom Jones on a track by Chicane. I thought this was just a new Tom Jones song at the time and I liked it and thought it was a good song. With Tom Jones singing on it I considered it more pop rather than dance back then. #35. Well this is completely out of the trends of the time (although it was maybe following the trend set by the return of eurotrance to the charts with DHT and Edmee's Listen To Your Heart in December 2005). I really like this one now. I think I remember it from the time and wasn't a big fan of it as it was hard dance, I was also maybe unknowingly sexist when it came to the vocals in eurodance songs back then  as I preferred the Ultrabeat ones with the male vocal such as Better Than Life and Feelin' Fine (can't remember what I thought of Pretty Green Eyes though). I like all of Ultrabeat's hits now though (apart from Discolights which is just OK for me).Elysium (I Go Crazy) is actually an Ultrabeat remix of an earlier hardcore song (that I think after trying to find the date online is from the year 2000 but I am not sure) by Scottish producer Scott Brown called Elysium.

'From Paris To Berlin' is a bit of a choon, very dance-pop agreed but dancey enough to make this thread. There were quite a few better dance songs that year though.
'Dreams' is decent but I prefer Deep Dish's other hits 'Flashdance' especially and also 'Say Hello'. 'Most Precious Love' is okay for what it is. Not listened to it that much really. 'Stoned In Love' is good but Chicane has a few better ones, it for example doesn't compare to the brilliant 'Poppiholla' (we'll get to that in 2009). Not too familiar with 'Elysium', probably heard it once or twice but hasn't done much for me. |

Well I like the backing singing in Most Precious Love particularly. It is one of the last of the retro influenced vocal house songs to make the chart (at least until 1 or 2 in 2008), although there is one more to come with Armand van Helden's redone version of My My My with Tara McDonald's vocal (unfortunately it doesn't make dance number 1 though).
Elysium (I Go Crazy) making the top 40 really shows how eurodance was making a revival, as we will see with a certain track in mid 2006. Although being eurotrance and not hardstyle eurodance like that mid 2006 track, Elysium (I Go Crazy) would have probably done better in the charts if it had of been made and released in 2003 or early 2004. |

I remember "From Paris To Berlin" felt a bit novelty at the time - I blame Scott Mills - but a very catchy dance hit that deserved its success. One I played fairly regularly in my DJ sets over the past couple of years if I was going to that era and that genre.

Well Scott Mills recently played Most Precious Love on his show last week so he is obviously a fan of that song, so I am thinking he might have been responsible too for that being a hit back then, especially as it flopped the first time in 2005. Anyway from Paris To Berlin is a bit too poppy for my tastes with the vocal but the production is great and not completely irrelevant now, as the second drop in Offaiah - Trouble from last year really reminds me of some of the style of synths in From Paris To Berlin. The fact it sounds more 2006 dance than this decade's dance music is probably why I liked 'Trouble' though! |

Beatfreakz - Somebody's Watching Me
 Date:7th May 2006 Weeks at UK Dance #1: 1 week Official Chart Run: 21-3-[color=#FF0000]4-5-11-17-28-24-23-27-30-35-47-56-71-84-88 So are coming to the end of an era, the second last looped house 80s remix to make our thread as dance number 1. The last one to make dance number 1 will be coming soon as one of danG's next four entries. This tune by Beatfreakz is one of the best known of the 80s remixes and as well as remaining relevant enough to get a play on Celebrity Big Brother UK a few series' ago, still gets a chart boost every Halloween as it is the dance song probably most linked with the festival. Beatfreakz are a Dutch house music duo, consisting of Errol Lafleur and Mark Simmons. Their song Somebody's Watching Me samples Rockwell's track of the same name (which features the vocals of Michael Jackson and Jermaine Jackson. I am not sure if Michael or Jermaine Jackson's vocals are in the Beatfreakz version, the Wikipedia says they included a cover vocal by Dennis Delano for Rockwell aka Kenneth Gordy's voice in the song, but it doesn't mention about whether Michael or Jermaine Jackson's vocals were replaced too with this new vocalist's vocal. Anyway I like the original Rockwell track and I also think this Beatfreakz dance version is a great dance track, and very atmospheric with its fadeouts, one of the classic dance tunes of the 00s imo. I remember at the time this track started getting played after Hi Tack - Say Say Say had been played for a while on music channels, I got confused between the two songs but soon recognized this as a separate song and liked it, I think I liked it a little more than Say Say Say (although I liked both of them back then).

Some tunes during the Beatfreakz's time at dance number 1 and the second period of From Paris To Berlin at dance number 1 which lasted from 14th May to 2nd July.
Boy From School - Hot Chip - #40 Don't remember this from the time and actually have never heard it until I found it on the chart archive today while compiling this list. It's a good funky house tune imo, I like the style of singing in the vocal which actually reminds me a bit of the vocal style of the Fleet Foxes for some reason! First Time - Sunblock - #9 I remember this from the time and liked it, still do, I actually prefer it to Sunblock's 'I'll Be Ready'. It is quite different to the other 80s remixes almost a bit like a lot of todays chart songs in its structure having verses with not much of a beat and then the drop with chopped vocals, but the drop is faster and more interesting than them imo and is in a disco house style. Love Sensation 2006 - Eddie Thoneick and Kurd Marverick #39 I remember this from the time, thought it was quite a crazy song designed to work out to (especially because of the video) but liked it. I like it even more it such a great tune especially with the strong uplifting vocal and progressive style and the drop is excellent too. Should have done better in the charts. Faster Kill Pussycat - Paul Oakenfold ft Brittany Murphy - #7 Remember this from the time and I liked it, although I considered it more rock/pop than dance back then because of its use of guitar. I think it is a very good funky tune but I prefer the Nat Monday trance remix (which I think was made later than when the original was in the charts), uses the sadly now deceased (RIP) Brittany Murphy's vocal better I think and is more dramatic. I will post both versions below. Love Sensation 06 - Loleatta Holloway - #37 I assume this is the right version of this track, don't remember this from the time, but on hearing it now it sounds like a great funky house version, almost but not quite as good as the Eddie Thoneick and Kurd Maverick remix. We are the Champions (Ding A Dong) - Crazy Frog - #11 Don't remember this from the time, a cover of the Queen song We Are The Champions released to coincide with the 2006 World Cup. This is better than Popcorn I think I like the eurodance production on the chorus and that there are some other vocals on it other than the Crazy Frog's. Fade - Solu Music ft KimBlee #18 Don't remember this from the time much, maybe a bit. I think this is a great tune, excellent deep/ funky house hybrid which stands out from a lot of the other vocal funky house songs that have made the charts in the mid 00s by being more chilled. Its music video also sees a brief return of the animated video trend of the early 00s along with that of Most Precious Love. My My My - Armand Van Helden ft Tara McDonald - #12 Well it really was coming to the end of the road for funky vocal house in the chart, although there will be a small revival in 2008. Remember this from the time, especially the My My My bit which I though sounded familiar (as I hard it in the 2004 version before). Liked it at the time for being uplifting and I like it even more now. I think this version with Tara's verses is better than the one without. The music video is quite similar in its theme of a man awkwardly dancing to Tough Love - So Freakin Tight, even down to the use of binoculars, I think this must have been an inspiration for that video! New Horizon - John Parr vs Tommyknockers - #43 I don't usually comment on songs outside the top 40 but spotted this 80s remix on the archive just outside the top 40, its a good remix of an excellent 80s song, should have at least made top 40 I think. Also I forgot to include this one from April during Thunder in My Heart's time at dance number 1 C'mon Get It On - Studio B - #28 I think I remember this from the time and liked how energetic it was. A rock influenced dance tune possibly following the trend set by I Like The Way by Bodyrockers. This post has been edited by Hisspot: 23rd July 2017, 12:56 AM |

Fade had been around for *years*, first got released in 2001 although the '06 release was an remix. Wasn't going to get anywhere with that video though, which looked cheap even at the time - standard "Look at these hot girls!!" marketing ploy who are blatantly miming to someone else's vocals.
The CD cover was as you'd expect, four bikini-clad women and the words "INCLUDES THE VIDEO" in big letters. Yeah, but what about the song? |

Well its a great song of course originally and I only discovered this remix when I looked up the songs that made the charts at the time last night. The remix does do the song justice I think, can you imagine what a remix (or a cover for that matter) of St Elmo's Fire would sound like if it was done now, it would probably have the verses with a slow beat to it and then a pitched vocal drop after the chorus! |

I don't know why there were two remixes of Love Sensation around, I assume it is a similar story to the Sunblock and Naughty Boy remixes of the Baywatch theme tune around the start of 2006. The one I remember from the time was the Kurd Maverick and Eddie Thoneick one.
I am not sure whether the second Love Sensation 06 to chart (credited to Loleatta Holloway this time) is the Freemasons remix or another remix called the Hi-Tack Mix on youtube which sounds very similar to the Kurd Maverick and Eddie Thonieck one. I assume the former and that the Hi-Tack mix eventually was released in the form of the very similar Kurd Maverick and Eddie Thonieck version, although I don't know. First Time is definitely my favourite Sunblock track (I prefer it to I'll be Ready), although their last top 40 hit Baby Baby is a good version of a dance classic I think. Faster Kill Pussycat is a very good track but the Nat Monday remix makes it even better I think, definitely one of the best trance remixes of a song I have heard. That second drop in particular  The C'mon Get It On 'The Young Punx Edit' used in the official video I posted is good but I prefer the 'radio edit' rather than the 'The Young Punx Edit' one in the 'official video' (it really sounds very 90s, a bit like 2Unlimited in style): https://open.spotify.com/track/09m4mIlUQD1zZRFgebOIea Not sure which version was more played at the time

For me, I would say that after the next four tracks danG posts in the chart, chart dance is not quite as good for me on average until the start of 2008, although there are two brilliant tracks imo making top 10 at the end of 2006 (and its not the electro ones I am referring to btw (one of them I still like though) ), and still some dance tracks I like from 2007.
