A hip-house/new-beat club track that became a worldwide crossover, “Pump Up the Jam” hit No. 2 in both the UK (late 1989) and US Billboard Hot 100 (early 1990), and reached No. 1 in several European markets. The single’s promotion initially featured model Felly lip-syncing in the video/cover, while the recorded vocals were by Ya Kid K; subsequent editions restored her credit. The track is widely cited as a landmark in Eurodance’s global breakthrough.
