Yoko Ono Scores Sixth Consecutive Dance Chart-Topper With 'Move On Fast'

Yoko Ono has overcome the likes of Rihanna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry to score her sixth consecutive Number One on the Billboard Hot Dance Club chart with "Move On Fast." The song is her eighth Number One dance hit overall, and the latest in Ono's series of remix singles. The original version of "Move On Fast" was issued as the B-Side to her folky 1972 single "Now or Never."

Ono is hardly a newcomer to dance music. Her breakthrough hit in the United States was "Walking on Thin Ice," a New Wave/disco hybrid released in 1981 shortly after the death of her husband John Lennon. That song became a dance hit again in 2003 with a series of remixes by Pet Shop Boys, Felix Da Housecat, Danny Tenaglia and others.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
