Back When Belgium Dominated The Charts



Do you remember back at the turn of this century when so many of the big Dance hits of the time came from Belgium?  In particular, from Flanders which is the Flemish-speaking (Dutch) northern part of the country? Of course, vocals in English! Those were the days! 

Do you remember these Belgian songs from around 2002?

Sylver ft. singer Sylvy De Bie.


Ian van Dahl ft. singer Annemie Coenen.


Dee Dee ft. singer Diana Trippaers.



Milk Inc. featuring singer Linda Mertens.  I don't recall radio play on this one but it was a staple at Mannequins.  Would love to see a club night dedicated to the early 00's.  I think its time!

I remember when 95.3 Party did live remotes from Mannequins (even bartender competitions)... Miss that station and our clubs!

OMG i remember that!!! I loved 95.3 Party, then they decided we needed more Hip hop and changed it to Power 95.3.. Such a great station!!

During the final year of 95.3Party (WPYO)in 2004 the amount of Dance being played was noticeably decreasing as the amount of Hip Hop was increasing. The Cox Radio-owned station then made the switch to its Power95.3 Rhythmic Contemporary format around 2005. Ditto sister station WPWM in Miami.
