UK Number 40s: Big Room Girl featuring Darryl Pandy - Raise Your Hands (1999)

 


Despite the name implying Big Room Girl is a female it's actually the alias of a male called Robert Chetcuti. This was the only record he released under that alias but he'd previously been in the Top 40 as a member of Third Dimension with the single "Don't Go".

Darryl Pandy had also previously been in the Top 40 as the vocalist on "Love Can't Turn Around" by Farley Jackmaster Funk, the first house record to reach the UK Top 40 back in 1986. He was officially credited on that record when it returned to the charts in 1996 when incidentally it made number 40.

Dance music was massive in 1999 and there were lots of dance records in the Top 40. At the same time though only 40 places were up for grabs, so it was almost inevitable that we'd have dance records reaching number 40.
