Today I am going to try to recall the disco songs of the 90s. The best of the dance music of the 90s, or at least they are for me.
I remember listening to this song, in the last days of the University, but in my city, in a joint that I did not like too much. This was a bone grease. What a force of theme! And, I am one of those who think that Mc Hammer did not give everything they had inside. Lots of potential. Although, with this issue, I swept.
Although, the bombshell that was U can't touch this led to more than one headache for the singer - who years later claimed to have squandered a good part of the fortune he obtained. The point is, years before, Rick James released Superfreak, which features all the instrumental base that would accompany MC Hammer's smash hit.
Song of the most remembered Snap!, The German eurodance group, which released this marvel on March 30, 1992, as the second single from the album that gave continuity to the overwhelming success they had achieved with their single The Power, in 1990. The LP that picks up on this theme is The Madman's return, and the song in question was written by Benito Benites, John Virgo Garrett III -which are the nicknames given to the German producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti- and Thea Austin.
The song reached number 1 on the charts in half of Europe and also reached the top of the always complicated American Billboard.
The song was composed by Max Martin and Denniz PoP, and reached number 4 on the American Billboard, where it remained for 22 weeks, while it was number 3 on the UK charts. Only in the United States with 2.1 million sales.
This song was a hit in the early 90s. And it would not be the only one of these Belgians who decided to call themselves Technotronic. Nothing less. Central Europeans blew up the dance floors with the self-titled album and sneaked to the top of every hit chart, particularly the British and American charts. On the Billboard they reached number 2 at the beginning of 1990. It would also become number 1 in much of Europe.
The song introduces almost unexplored elements in the music of the moment, such as the mixture of hip hop and deep house.
The leader of this band, The Prodigy, recently passed away, which marked an era with many of their songs. Although, the album in which this great song is included, The fat of the land, was one of the architects of the massive diffusion of big beats. I still remember jumping on the dance floor
Sash! it was very present in the final part of the 90's. It sounded everywhere. For example, with this theme from the group headed by Sascha Lappessen. Included in his album Life goes on, it featured the voice of British singer Tina Cousins.
It reached number 2 on the British charts (the fourth on the German ocean liner), and ranked number 11 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.
Song composed by the British group Faithless (without faith), was the second single of his career, and, without a doubt, the most remembered. It reached number 97 on the British charts, reaching number 1 on the dance chart. However, as we will see in other topics included here, in a reissue - in this case only a year later - it reached number 3 in the United Kingdom and was a success in many European countries.
It is a song idolized by the general public, but also by the critics of that time. It incorporates a sample from Let me love you for tonight, released by Kariya in 1989.
Another single typecast in hip hop. In this case, written by American rapper Vanilla Ice and DJ Earthquake. The uniqueness of the song was that, for the first time, a white musician was doing hip hop with enormous success. In addition, it was the first single of the genre that reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It opened doors. In fact this song, which samples the bass line of the mythical Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie, who initially did not appear in the song's credits. That was fixed after the success achieved around the world.
I know there are many more songs, but if I put them I would never finish the post, I hope you have enjoyed reading this list, as much as I did writing about it.
