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.

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
