Finding the Rhythm

This past Friday, my dance chart was updated. You’ll find it, as usual, here: http://www.djwesley.com/chart/ Following are some observations on this past week’s data:

• Janet Jackson Feedback is still #1. The song is wearing out prematurely for me, but that’s also in part because they already released the next single, Rock With U.
• Speaking of wearing out early, Donna Summer’s I’m a Fire is getting sorta tiresome already as well, although it moved up a notch to #4.
• Ron Perkov’s I Get Off continues to receive a ton of requests during my online sets, resulting in a move to #5. The variety of solid mixes of the track will contribute to its staying near the top for awhile to come I’m guessing.
• Filo & Peri’s Anthem continues its decline at #14 this week. I still like the song, and so do the audiences, but it’s just getting supplanted by the volume of new material that’s out there.
• Erika Jayne’s Stars has been out since last fall (that’s when I got a promo of it, anyway), but is just now starting to gain some traction for my chart (and others, I’ve noticed). Not a whole lot of stong mixes of it in my view, but it’s a good track.
• Among adds this week is Cannyrock with Cube Ah. I’m not sure I’m personally that wild about this track, but people have gone nuts for it… Very enthusiastic response. Not sure where this one will go.
• Also in the adds this week is the latest from my friends Cory and Jennifer at Pleasure Center, their new track for ‘08, Love’s a Basic Freedom. They’re positioning this track as a sort of gay pride anthem for the year, and the political messaging aside, it’s a strong track; probably the best yet from this terrific duo.
• Lenna’s I Can Hear the Money seems a good track that I couldn’t resist adding this week.
• Colette’s If is a new fave; I’m anxious to see where it tracks from here.

As usual, I’ll have a new chart up this Friday.
