Rather worried that the number 1 single might be something Parisian...
Even that would be an improvement on the two earaches that I think are potential number 1s.

Nope, I can narrow it down to a few, but don't know which sold more...especially since 1999 was a big-selling year for dance according to a few heads on this thread...and the others are from 1995.
what about cher 'believe'? isn't that a dance song D: maybe not as much as some others tbh but ye.

 

Yeah 'Believe' is definitely a dance song as is

Whigfield 'Saturday Night'

.

I am going with 1998. 1999 tracks all fell short of a million.

 

Ah, I can think of a couple from 1998...

I still have 12 possible tracks for the last 8. 3 of them are from 1995 but all three could be rejected.

08. DON’T STOP (WIGGLE WIGGLE)- Outhere Brothers (617,000)

YEAR: 1995

PEAK POSITION: 1

 

1995 was undoubtedly a good year for this pair who had some fame earlier in the decade producing “Summertime” for DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince. The formula was quite easy- take a dance song and song some very naughty lyrics over it (cleaned up for a radio version) and watch the single soar.

07. MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER WITH YOU- Stardust (650,000)

 

http://www.actualites-electroniques.com/Indemodable/Stardust-Music%20sounds%20better%20with%20you.jpg

 

YEAR: 1998

PEAK POSITION: 2

 

Based extensively around Chaka Khan’s 1981 track “Fate” this sold 171k in its first week to debut at No 2 behind Boyzone. The duo of course comprised of Alex Braxe and Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk) and this was the only fruits of the collaboration- still when this is the only thing you produce then it’s been a pretty outstanding partnership.

 

Music Sounds Better With You would be a million seller within 12 months now with those first week sales.
Adore 'Music Sounds Better With You', was the soundtrack to the second half of 08 for me. I don't think I can recall a song ever being so hammered in clubs as Stardust was, you'd hear it so many times on a night out.

08? :huh:

 

 

I didn't really like it at the time and I only tolerate it now. It created a whole new genre of looped house :(

08? :huh:

 

Yep, I always get into things 10 years too late. Currently loving Left Outside Alone, Milkshake and Hey Ya! Plus I never expected Girls Aloud to suddenly get this good! :o

 

 

(oh and I agree on the whole issue of MSBWY spawning lots of looped house tracks, I don't recall loving any of those - unless Another Chance counted?)

 

Another Chance was certainly Daft Punk influenced. I remember Mixmag slating it and not including it in their Top tracks of 2001 because it was so derivative - they said. I loved it.
