UK Number 40s: Sonny J - Can't Stop Moving (2008)

 


I remember the hype about this record at the time. It seemed like a good promotion strategy. What we had was a record which sounded like it had a young Michael Jackson singing on it. Then they started rumours on the internet that this was sampling a long lost Michael Jackson record.

It got people talking, the record was regularly on the music channels and I seem to recall Jo Whiley talking about this record and Michael Jackson in the same breath, though I can't recall exactly what she did say.

After all that hype and promotion strategy though it only made number 40. It would also be the only Top 40 hit for Sonny J. It's a shame really because I think this record is pretty good.
