Sophie is 100% pure pop

I Turn To You is amazing (I agree that Mel C was the best solo spice by far). Groovejet is quite rightly a classic now.

Now I Turn to you, I actually do remember, there was a whole discussion going in the media as to whether it or Victoria Beckham's collab with True Steppers was better. I preferred the Mel C track. I heard it a lot, probably got a lot of AirPlay because it was a former Spice Girl.

 

Groovejet is OK but for funky house the one made by the group named after a shop coming up quite soon is much better. :) I wasn't that much of a fan of it at the time.

 

I suppose it is similar to Robin Schulz's songs today with an acoustic guitar loop running through it, particularly Sugar.

We hear from Ethan for our next entry in this, any guesses?

 

Also I've made a reference page in the opening post if you want to (re-)read just the commentaries.

Is that the windmill from Feel Good Inc in your signature. It and Dare are not eligible but I think Dare is dance.

Perhaps we will hear it tonight. I could do without hearing it tonight, as it is not one of my faves.

'Dare' is a funny one, it feels like a pop, dance and indie song. For the purposes of this thread, it will not be considered as dance but it certainly has some dancey features to it.

I personally wouldn't consider DARE dance at all.

 

I imagine around that time (05/06) we'll be seeing songs that didn't even make the top 10 be #1s on this chart.

We'll start seeing songs that never made the top ten being dance chart #1s in 2001. There are four of these in that year, and some of them are very obscure too.

Excellent! The obscure ones are the ones I'm mainly looking forward to, hoping to even make some discoveries.

Dare is very weird indeed, I'd consider it pretty dancey but completely understand its exclusion too. Going by wiki, which makes it disco-funk-new wave-trip-hop means it's very crossover, more dance than rock I'd say on the whole (sitting somewhere in the indie-tronica region), but crossover songs are always hard to make judgement on for this kind of thread, as wonderful as many of them are. And from memory it's always functioned as a dancey track for real world use in my world.

 

Love Groovejet a lot, impressive that it managed to get 3 weeks in 2000.

In 2003 there is one week where no dance song was in the top 40 and the dance number 1 is at #43. It is not an obscure song, but a decently performing well known song (it reached number 11).

 

 

 

Really? No dance song in the whole top 40???? Wow!!!

 

Dare is 100% indie

0% dance imho

Oh, I'd really like to know what that is :o

I worked out what it is.

 

Wow. What a dire chart it came from.

Fantastic song that gets dance number 1 at number #43 officially that week though. Remember it well. My favourite organ house song ever, much better than last years ones.

can you say what week it was? curious but cannot figure it out (or pm if it's not ok to post it here?) thanks

I wonder if we were doing 2010s, would Cold Water be eligible?

It could well be seeing as Major Lazer are a dance act, though the production isn't that much more dancey than 'What Do You Mean' or 'Sorry' which both wouldn't be eligible. Tricky question there.

What about Final Song by MO, the vast majority of the song isn't dance, only the chorus is, so would that be eligible if it managed to be in a position to be dance number 1 in the coming weeks?

 

Both Final Song and Cold Water are featured on the official uk dance chart though so I'd say the qualify for spots on this chart if it reaches that stage, right? Both are classified as dance songs.
