Coolie Dance rhythm revisits Billboard Hot 100
The popular Coolie Dance rhythm, produced by Cordell “Skatta” Burrell, has revisited the Billboard Hot 100 chart, thanks to its sampling in Puerto Rican singer Karol G’s Bby WOW, which also features Spanish singers and songwriters Judeline and rusowsky.
Bby WOW stepped up from #16 to land at #10, giving the Coolie Dance rhythm its second appearance inside the top 10.
In the summer of 2004, sister duo Nina Sky rose to a #4 high with Move Ya Body, which sampled the
Coolie Dance. That song went on to earn a gold certification in the US and in at least three other countries.
The other songs that made it onto the Hot 100 chart accompanied by the Coolie Dance beat were Culo by Pitbull; Jook Gal (Wine Wine) by Elephant Man and Kip Rich featuring YoungBloodz; and
Twista and Pull Up by Mr Vegas.
Still on Bby WOW, the song continues to reign in the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs and Hot Latin Rhythm Songs charts. It also debuts this week in the #36 position on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart.
Still on the Billboard charts, the new reincarnation of Sister Nancy’s iconic Bam Bam, renamed
Jamaican (Bam Bam) and credited to producers HUGEL and SOLTO, steps up to #8 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, where it peaked at #7 more than nine months ago. The song moves into the #14 spot on Billboard’s Warm Global Dance Radio chart in its 28th week on the tally.
And, finally, Jamaican (Bam Bam) has fallen to #10 on the Billboard France Hot 100 songs chart, where it got as far as #5. The song has been certified diamond for sales and streaming equivalent of more than 330,000 units.
