Best Dance Songs Of All Time: Faithless – Insomnia (Official Video)

NEW YORK (RichTVX.com) — “Insomnia” is a song by British musical group Faithless. Released as the band’s second single, it became one of their most successful. It was originally released in 1995 and reached number 27 on the UK Singles Chart, topping the UK Dance Chart in the process. When re-released in October 1996, the song achieved a new peak of number three in the United Kingdom and topped the charts of Finland, Norway, and Switzerland, as well as the American and Canadian dance charts. It also featured on Faithless’s 1996 debut album, Reverence. “Insomnia” was voted by Mixmag readers as the fifth greatest dance record of all time in 2013.[2] It was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in 2019. Faithless are an English band that formed in 1995, with its core members being Rollo, Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz.[3] Their first album, Reverence, was released in 1996 and their most recent, All Blessed, in 2020. They have sold millions of physical records, and their catalogue was uploaded to streaming sites in 2018. They average almost 3 million streams a month.[4] Faithless’ records have charted at #1 in numerous countries and they were voted the 4th greatest dance band of all time by Mixmag. Their musical style is often political. All Blessed uses award-winning photo-journalist Yannis Behrakis‘ picture of refugees on the front, focusing on immigration as its core theme. Faithless have headlined numerous major festivals in Europe and beyond, including Glastonbury. Their lyrics have been quoted in both the US Senate and the Houses of Parliament. Maxi Jazz, the lead singer of British dance act Faithless, has died aged 65. Maxwell Fraser (14 June 1957 – 23 December 2022), better known by his stage name Maxi Jazz, was a British musician, rapper, singer, songwriter and DJ. He is best known for his role as the lead vocalist of British electronic band Faithless from 1995 to 2011 and 2015 to 2016. RIP!
