Description
Whigfield – Big Time – Compact Disc
Big Time is a dance-pop track by Danish artist Whigfield, which was part of her debut album released in 1995. Whigfield, whose real name is Sannie Charlotte Carlson, gained international fame in the 1990s for her catchy pop tunes and dancefloor hits, most notably “Saturday Night,” which became a staple in the Eurodance scene.
“Big Time” embodies the energetic, upbeat style typical of Whigfield’s music during this period. The song features vibrant synth melodies, a driving dance beat, and Whigfield’s distinctively bright vocals. It’s crafted to be a lively, feel-good track that captures the essence of ’90s Eurodance, with its infectious chorus and rhythm designed for high-energy dancing.
The track and the album it appears on were successful in solidifying Whigfield’s status as a prominent figure in the dance music world, appealing to fans who loved the cheerful, uncomplicated pop-dance crossover tunes prevalent in the decade’s dance clubs and radio stations. “Big Time,” like much of Whigfield’s work from this era, remains a fun, nostalgic piece for many fans of 1990s dance music.
Euro-dance star Whigfield was born Sannie Charlotte Carlson in Skaelskør, Denmark, and spent some time in Africa as a child. Finding her initial career of modeling horribly dull, she returned to her first love of music, and began performing with her brother’s band. Seeking more opportunities, she left Denmark and met Spagna producer Larry Pignagnoli, with whom she began recording under the name Whigfield (a tribute to her piano teacher of the same name).
Her debut single, “Saturday Night,” hit number one in Spain for 11 weeks in 1994, and soon became a smash all across Europe (as well as Canada), selling over two million copies worldwide; she also became the first female artist to enter the British charts at number one with her debut single, thanks to a buzz over the song from U.K. clubgoers who’d vacationed in Spain. The follow-ups “Another Day” and “Think of You” also became hits, though not quite as huge.
All three were featured on her self-titled debut album, released in Europe in 1995 and America the following year (where it failed to cause nearly as much of a stir). Nevertheless, a fourth single contained on the album, “Sexy Eyes,” became another worldwide smash, topping the charts in Australia in 1996. After the remix album Mega Mixes, Whigfield issued her second album, appropriately titled Whigfield II, in late 1997; another stream of international hits followed, including “Gimme Gimme,” “Baby Boy,” “No Tears to Cry,” and “Givin’ All My Love to You.” Whigfield III followed in late 2000, producing hits in a cover of the Ronettes’ “Be My Baby,” the Spanish smash “Doo Whop,” and “Much More.”
