UK Chart commentary by Mr Masterton

2 replies

Hey, did any one of you catch this from the UK charts:

”...Anyway the looping house phenomenon itself is far from dead, as proved by the next new entry from the Dancing DJs having been kicking around as a white label for what seems like months the single finally gets a full release having obtained the appropriate clearances for the tune it samples. Said tune is ’Fading Like A Flower’, originally a Number 12 hit for Swedish superstars Roxette back in 1991. Craftily their approval of the sample came complete with the insistence that they get full chart credit and as a result the track ranks as the first Top 40 hit for Per and Marie since ’I Wish I Could Fly’ hit Number 11 in March 1999. Yes, if you are a big fan of the original you are entitled to curse this bowlderisation of the track into a brainless club tune. Come to terms with it however and like all others in its genre, ’Fading Like A Flower’ is damn good fun.”

No missed that.... which station!

”...complete with the insistence that they get full chart credit...”

Can someone explain this to me? So basically this is seen as a Roxette song??
