UK Number 40s: Soda Club featuring Ashley Jade - Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use) (2004)

 


By 2004 the popularity of dance music was in decline. This was evident when in Ibiza Rocks was launch the following year. Ibiza had been dominated by dance music but it was decided an event that brought live bands to Ibiza was needed to attract the punters.

It could be said that the decline in the popularity of dance music was down to records like this. It was the 4th and final Top 40 hit to date for Soda Club and all 4 records were remakes of older records. This had originally been a hit for Sub Sub featuring Melanie Williams in the 90s. Incidentally Sub Sub themselves were now the indie band Doves.

Soda Club were Andy Lee and Pete Lee and had previously been in the Top 40 as Love To Infinity. They were also behind the single for the Girls of FHM so clearly this was dance music of the cheesy commercial variety.
