Also 'Cha Cha Slide' was released in 2000 in America but didn't impact the UK until 2004 (anyone know why?).

Also wasn't Love Inc's You're A Superstar a hit in Canada in 1998? It answered so many questions when I learnt that fact because every time I heard it in late 2002 I thought 'wow...this takes me back to 1998' :lol: It was like Sash's Move Mania or something.

 

Never knew that....but it does sound more 90s than 2000s in style.

 

An example today, Tieks - Sunshine was first released last September iirc.

I remember finding a UK Mix page when looking up info about the 80s remixes trend in the mid 00s. Apparently Sharam's Patt was well known by members posting in 2005 but only made its impact at the end of 2006? Maybe it was to do with sample clearage like the 99 Souls track at the end of last year (first known underground in early 2015) but with the Sharam case that was a longer time.

It was the same with Ice Cube's "You Can Do It" hitting #2 in 2005 when it was initially released in 2001 from the Save The Last Dance movie.

The next one is a possible example of tropical trance, trance with an instrument commonly used in tropical house.

 

And is also German like the last one, German dance acts did well in early 2001 it seems

Does anyone know if there were any of these songs so far that made the charts in the US during the first two years of the 2000s and if not what other dance music was there at the time? I dont know if I am right but did the US not have many dance hits in the 2000s which is why EDM is a big thing this decade over there?

Dance music was very much a european thing in the 90s and 00s I believe until David Guetta kickstarted the Americanisation of EDM with Sexy Chick/I Gotta Feeling.

 

A few did crossover though but very few

Someone hurry up and post the next song I'm getting impatient! :lol:

The United States were doing completely their own thing in the early noughties (urban/R&B, rap, 'nu metal' etc) - very few of what we'd call "dance" music from a European perspective made it big over there at the time. Two that did in 2000 were Eiffel 65's Blue (#6) and Alice Deejay's Better Off Alone (#25), but they were very much rarities and stood out for their novelty factor rather than credibility. Darude's 'Sandstorm' also charted over there, but it wasn't that big at the time - it only reached #83. Its use on various TV shows and sports events, plus infamous youtube memes, has increased its popularity over the years.

 

Glancing at the year-end charts, the next really huge US dance hit - unless I'm missing any - is one that charted here in the autumn of 2002, so a while to wait.

 

(Canada were slightly more in-tune with Europe , 'Better Off Alone' reached #2 and 'Blue' and 'Sandstorm' were both #1s)

I know few of the 80s remixes or disco house tunes in the middle of the decade, even Lolas Theme, were hits in America so mid decade was the same it seems. This is despite the presence of Americans in some of the charting dance music in the UK during the mid 00s like Armand van Helden, Kathy Brown, Blaze and Barbara Tucker.

 

Its weird there were so few dance hits in America in the early and mid 2000s considering house music was invented in Chicago, Techno in Detroit and funky/latin house is massive in Miami.

 

Anyway now loads of tropical house dance hits in Europe eg. Kungs, Omi's Cheerleader make the top 100 in America and they have their own producers that chart here like The Chainsmokers and Cash Cash.

 

I wonder why dance music took.so long to become a chart force in America.....

Do you ever notice that it actually says 'Sexy Chich' in the clean edit of Sexy Chick. It seems they didn't remove the last syllable of 'bitch'

How U Like Bass! I've always liked that - gives me real Sandstorm (by Darude) vibes and you can't beat a good old hard MoS track. :dance: I wish there was more dance like that around these days but only a very niché market would even listen to it :(

I think if How U Like Bass was new it could have been big in 2014 during the big room house boom. I know it is technically not big room house but it would have been similar enough to that style to be popular.

 

I know many say that big room house was related to electro house but I think it owes more to early 2000s hard house like Operation blade (Bass In the Place) and Scooter's songs. Bad by David Guetta, Showtek and Vassy was very similar to Scooter, I liked that it was quite nostalgic :)

Schiller - Das Glockenspiel (DJ Tiësto Remix)

 

http://i.imgur.com/NWRcxS2.jpg

 

Date 22nd Apr 2001

1 Week

Official Chart Run 17-27-50-x (3 weeks)

 

 

German electronic duo Christopher von Deylen and Mirko von Schlieffen named after poet and playwright Friedrich Schiller. ‘The Glockenspiel’ was a massive club hit in their native home in 1998, however it wasn’t until 2000 that it got a 12” vinyl release in the UK, impressively reaching #79, fronted by a Humate remix. Thus a full release the following spring was inevitable; with Ministry of Sound imprint Data Records turning to Dutch superstar Trance DJ Tijs Michiel Verwest aka DJ Tiësto for remix duties. ‘Das Glockenspiel’ reached #17 when finally activated, some 3 years after its inception, in April 2001, a position which in retrospect was something of a disappointment for this lush trance anthem with striking glockenspiel percussion.

Hey I actually have this one for a change it was featured on Top Of The Pops: Summer 2001 compilation.

 

Didn't actually know Tiësto was on the track. He's uncredited I imagine?

seems very random a song to be the week's dance #1, and indeed something that would do nothing in the chart today. Sounding quite good especially the Tiesto remix which gives it a little more life.

Never knew this song until a few months ago when I randomly looked up chart archives for 2001 and found it.

 

You could call it tropical trance with the glockenspiel in it (glockenspiels are often used for tropical house) :lol:

 

Unusual to have trance with a real instrument in it, but it makes a change to normal trance. Very good track.

Fatboy Slim ‎- Star 69 (What The F**k) / Weapon Of Choice

 

http://i.imgur.com/niuiIIR.jpg

 

Date 29th Apr 2001

2 Weeks

Official Chart Run 10-20-25-35-44-55-71-81-x (8 weeks)

 

 

The return to this countdown of big beat legend Fatboy Slim aka Norman Quentin Cook (born Quentin Leo Cook) with the third single from his third album 'Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars' which reached #8 in November 2000. This double A-side followed ‘Sunset (Bird Of Prey)’ [#9, Oct 2000] and ‘Demons’ (feat. Macy Gray) [#16, Jan 2001] into the charts in April 2001 reaching #10.

 

A-side ‘Star 69 (What The F**k)’ features a vocal sample from Roland Clark’s ‘I Get Deep’: “They know what is what, but they don't know what is what, they just strut. What the f*ck?” is repeated throughout. It became a firm DJ fave through the 00’s.

 

Parliament-Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins provided the vocals for the B-side’ Weapon Of Choice’. The track encompasses a number of samples, the most prominent of which is from Sly & the Family Stone's psychedelic soul 1968 track 'Into My Own Thing' as well as elements from The Chambers Brothers 'All Strung Out Over You' and The X-Ecutioners 'Word Play'. The video won a Grammy at the 2002 Awards.
