🤖 AI Summary

No AI summary has been generated for this thread yet.
Sweet Sensation actually hit number one on the Pop Chart with "If Wishes Came True". I remember seeing them perform on the Rick Dees shows and it was there that they announced that they had the number one song in the country.

Whatever happened to them? Where the hell is Betty?
 
Intonation Feat Joee also hit the Billboard Hot 100 with Died In Your Arms, it peaked at #86 in 1995

There are a number of freestyle acts that hit #1 on the pop charts, but none of them were FREESTYLE singles.

Expose`, Sweet Sensation, Timmy T., Stevie B. all had #1 singles, but they were BALLADS/SLOW SONGS.....

The question was "what was the highest charting FREESTYLE song?"
 
new additons:

Intonation "Died In Your Arms"- pop chart #86 dance chart #39

Nayobe-no pop singles-"Good Things" #15 dance-"Second Chance" #30 dance.

Tina B.-no pop singles-"Honey To A Bee" #12 dance-"January, February" #15 dance-"Miracles Explode"-#7 dance-"Bodyguard" #5 dance.

yo how is LISA LISA not considered Freestyle....omg she was the core of LATIN HIP HOP.....i mean if it wasn't for her there would be no TKA, COVER GIRLS, etc....hands down to LISA LISA she is the first of all in Freestyle....as for Nayobe she came after Lisa Lisa...rite? well anyways Lisa Lisa's sound was a hybrid with Pop Musicbut deifnitely Freestyle was in there....listen to Expose...c'mon now....the Expose sound was so Pop influenced! anyways that's my thoughts.....BIG UPs to CHUCK D for that info....he have me a lil freestyle EDU-MACATION...lol

Africa bombada and? shannon And whoever else?

hi how you doing?

i dont mean to use the I live next to New York during those days. nuclear bomb. But i have to in this case?

why do so many people use affrica bombada and shannon and some other people ive heard? as the beg of freestyle. in my area right next to lilcoln tunnel here in early eighties. 81 82 and 83.

""Back in the Back in the Back of the days"" lol

high enegry was in right before freestlye came around. high energy is anything like lyme. babe were gonna rock tonight. and stuff like danger danger Danger straight ahead. etc,.

that stuff was much more the segway into freestyle at least in this area before freestyle came in with e banc then 85 freestyle. but in 81 8 2 and 83. it was def high energy before freestyle.

affrica bombada in this area were thought of more as Be bop. which if you remember was a pop version of Rap. and be bop was rap before it was rap. and when you ""be bopped"".

you were popping which was also breaking. or break dancing.

that was more africa bombada . i think if you ask people in the area

and especially cubans puerto ricans itlalians and some white people of those days. which really at that time were the only ones who listened to freestyle. and really the ones who put freestyle on the map.

and kept it on life support from 90 to 97 when it came back to ktu.

here where it all started which was here in nyc area.

they d tell you high energy was much more of a segway to freestyle then africa bombabda.

at least thats how i see it.

wondering whatevery body else thinks.

However, if Shannon isn't considered Freestyle, technically Lisa Lisa isn't either.

But to me, they paved that road for Freestyle and they ARE Freestyle to me.

Lex- I was simply making a point to validate what someone else posted a bit earlier. Shannon, obviously, is Freestyle. Lisa Lisa, more than obviously, is Freestyle as well.

Trust me, I know what impact Lisa Lisa had on dance music in general. When "I Wonder If I Take You Home" and "Can You Feel The Beat" blew up back in '84/'85, there was nothing else like it. From that point on, the indentation in dance music had been made. Ironically, it was the work of Full Force that gave her that signature sound. She didn't keep up with it, and gradually she headed in a whole different direction, musically (Straight To The Sky, LL77, etc.)

For me, however, she was the one I admired at the tender age of 7. Being Latina, and being so damn fine. She reminded me of the girl who lived upstairs.
 
I think Rockell's "In A Dream" reached #55 officially, it's erased from the chart because of "chart rule" thing, but in the next issue of billboard they said the song is still climbing, if it's on the chart it's at #52. That #71 was first chart appearance peak. It came back 3 times.
 
Just wanted to add that SAFIRE also had 2 other billboard hot 100 hits, "thinking of you" #12 and "i will survive" (i believe #53)

thank you
