This day in music, Sonique climbed to the top of the UK singles chart back in 2000 with ‘It Feels So Good.’ Previously a member of S-Express, she was no stranger to chart success. However, it was actually the second time running for ‘It Feels So Good.’ Back in 1998, it peaked at No.24 in the UK. A far more successful second run, the single became the third biggest selling hit of 2000. It topped the tally for three weeks, spending a total of 14 weeks in the top 40.

Sonique also managed to reach No.8 in the US, signing with Republic Records. In 2008, The Official UK Charts Company awarded it the biggest selling dance song of the 21st century on the back of over 650,000 copies sold in the UK alone.
