“Stolen Dance” is more than just a song that rhymes with a
silly band name. It came on my radar this June but I was even late to the
party. The song was already quite popular in Europe and abroad, hitting number
1 in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Ireland and France. It also eventually
made it to number 1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative, Rock Airplay and
Alternative charts. It even cracked the Mainstream Top 40 (number 35) as well
as the Canadian Hot 100 of the year 2014, where it was number 36. It didn’t
make it that high here but needless to say this is the most globally popular
song on the list.
I like it a lot too. It’s got that really catchy ever
repeating minimal sounding beat and although his voice could be that of Eagle
Eye Cherry’s, it’s a song that immediately sticks out as one of the best tracks
of the year.
Final Note: Milky Chance is one of 9 artists in this year's top 100 that only have one song, not just in the Top 100 but in the entire Top 500. We've already heard 5 of these bands in MIA, Chromeo, Avey Tare' Slasher Flicks, Thom Yorke and Kero Kero Bonito. That means there are 3 left.
Any Guesses?
