Like The Wind

Vibekingz & Maliq feat RobG

Europa

WE SAY

A top five hit in Germany last summer with sales of over 200,000, this reworking of Patrick Swayze's 1987 hit gets its UK release later this year on Europa, 20 years after the film Dirty Dancing was first released. Europa tells us that it's one of the best testing records on the Galaxy network, and was added to three of its regional playlists last month. It takes the original song in just the right direction, and sounds to us like its commercial success on the continent will be repeated in the UK. JF
