Guetta's 3rd #1 from the same album
Spyke
Prior to the release of Guetta's 'One Love' album this track sent to itunes in its original form with just Chris Willis, but didn't hit the top 40. A friend of mine tipped it as future hit, I was a bit sceptical and introduced him to the far superior Sexy Bitch. Little did I realise that a year later, with a quiet sales week and the addition of Fergie and LMFAO, he'd be right and this would also top the charts.
It was a case of being released at just the right time, with sales less than 50k the week almost saw the return of B.o.b and Bruno Mars at the top as they were only a measly 1,274 copies behind making it one of the tightest contests for the top of the year.
The track featured heavily on my summer jogging playlist alongside The Club Can't Handle Me, Beautiful Monster and Green Light. It feels very reminiscent of that that period of uni, but I can't say I've had the urge to listen to it since. I think track marks the beginning of the demise of Guetta's reign on the charts, Timbaland and Red One had their moments and now I think Guetta might have had his. His full power party production style works well on tracks like Who's That Chick and Sexy Bitch but he's on the cusp of it becoming too generic.
