Chart updated: 5/9/08
OK, well, maybe the chart wasn’t updated on the 9th, but the Top 25 Dance Chart for the week has now been posted for your enjoyment.
I’m a little surprised that the top two slots are still holding for Elena and Velvet, but they are unchanged from last week.
Moving to #3 is the amazing Love Resurrection from Aurora feat. Amanda Wilson. I simply love this song, and audiences seem to enjoy it as well. As I have blogged previously, it’s a great remake of an old Alison Moyet song, and the production work from Aurora is just amazing.
Another song making a big jump is Australia’s Raen with Dramatic Fanatic at #5. It’s a fun song, I think, with interesting lyrics and great production. This track apparently hasn’t been signed to a label in the US that I can tell, so it’s tough to find.
With the availability of some new mixes for Freemasons’ Uninvited, the tracks has reappeared on my chart at #12.
Nothing else particularly shocking on the chart, other than the reappearance of Basshunter’s Now You’re Gone after a temporary drop-off.
In the new adds department, a new song from CAPP, as yet unreleased, is DJ Skillmaster with Summertime. The underlying song from Skillmaster is actually a couple of years old. It was a good track on its own, but Dany Wild’s new remix is why I’ve started playing it. The track has a whole new feel and energy. The song will be released with a newly-filmed video this summer; I’m just getting an early start with this one.
Among the hot adds this week are CoCo Star’s fab new single, Kick Yourself, along with Michelle Williams’ soulful and groovy We Break the Dawn, and perhaps my favorite of the bunch, Robbie Rivera feat. Denise Rivera (no relation!) with Back to Zero, which is particularly strong on all front (lyrically, vocals, production).
Enjoy…
