Posted February 18, 201015 yr The Florence & Dizzee Rascal "You Got The Dirtee Love" got me thinking. How many mashup singles over the years have become legitimate chart hits in the UK? I can think of a few right off the bat: Chuckie & LMFAO - "Let The Bass Kick In Miami Girl" Stuntmasterz - "The Ladyboy Is Mine" (Brandy/Monica & Modjo) Mason & Princess Superstar - "Perfect (Exceeder)" David Guetta Vs The Egg - "Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)" Mylo Vs Miami Sound Machine - "Dr. Pressure" That's a good kickoff start - name a few others!
February 18, 201015 yr Linkin Park/Jay-Z Numb/Encore Easily the best mash-up ever. ^This. x1,000,000. Thread closed.
February 18, 201015 yr Theres 2 in this weeks top 20! Halo/Walking on Sunshine, and It's My Life/Confessions Both by Glee :)
February 18, 201015 yr Theres 2 in this weeks top 20! Halo/Walking on Sunshine, and It's My Life/Confessions Both by Glee :) But the originals of those 4 songs were by Beyoncé, Katrina & The Waves, Bon Jovi and Usher respectively so they don't count as mash-ups. They're just medleys (of two songs). The same applies to Peter Kay's CIN single (although that was 7 songs) and Jedward - UP(IIB). Edited February 18, 201015 yr by BrayFish
February 18, 201015 yr Technically though You Got The Dirtee Love isn't a mashup, cos it's a live performance. A mashup has to be made out of two existing recordings.
February 18, 201015 yr Didn't Texas have a mash-up version of Say What You Want, also from the Brits?
February 18, 201015 yr Technically though You Got The Dirtee Love isn't a mashup, cos it's a live performance. A mashup has to be made out of two existing recordings. ^That too. Peter Kay, Jedward, Florence, they're all medleys not mash-ups.

TBF, you could hear the two "mashed-up" ("I'm walking on sunshine" in the background while the chorus of Halo is being sung for example) even if the two original recordings weren't literally mashed-up.

February 18, 201015 yr Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head - wish it could have been released as a proper single
February 18, 201015 yr I do like my mash up of Children and Forgot About Dre. Not in your face, just understated and subtle.
February 18, 201015 yr The Dandy Warhols vs Mousse T- Horny as a Dandy not sure if that was top 10, but certainly charted
February 18, 201015 yr Kid Cudi Vs. Crookers- Day 'N' Nite. :wub: It was only Crookers remix of Day n Nite
