Record of the Year Revisited: 2000

Original Record of the Year: New Vision - Just Me & You

One thing that's inevitable now we've hit the 21st century is the list of viable candidates is going to shrink. Not just because overall quality goes down but the number of new entries each year starts to dwindle too as the years go by.

My pick for the year 2000 was a record that hit the Top 40 in January but is one I remember Pete Tong playing on his radio show in the summer of 1999.

When it comes to commercial dance music I don't think it gets any better than 1999. There were some great records that were huge. Whilst this record did make the Top 40 it wasn't one of the big anthems but it probably had a bigger impact on me that the other dance tunes.

There was a decline in quality of commercial dance music in the year 2000 and that alone ensures this records crown of record of the year for 2000 is safe.
