Pink Floyd rocks U.S. dance chart
Reuters, Dec 29, 2006 5:09 am PSTPink Floyd has been all over the
Billboard charts since making its debut in 1965, but this week
the veteran U.K. band stakes a claim on some new territory,
showing up on Hot Dance Airplay for the first time.
The track that sends Pink Floyd into a new orbit is "Proper Education (The Wall)," credited to "Eric Prydz vs. Pink Floyd."
Swedish house star Prydz, best known for the dance hit "Call on Me," incorporates David Gilmour's original vocal from the 1980 Hot 100 chart-topper "Another Brick in the Wall" into his new single.d
While this is Pink Floyd's first turn on Hot Dance Airplay, the group did register on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1980 when the original "Another Brick in the Wall," along with "The Wall" tracks "Run Like Hell" and "Don't Leave Me Now," peaked at No. 57.
