In April 2000, Brits were still buzzed by the arrival of The New Millennium and the Official Singles Chart this week 22 years ago is the only evidence you need that a trance revolution was on the way.

Toca's Miracle by German vocal group Fragma and featuring the uncredited vocals of British pop star Coco is one of the most influential dance tracks of the past two decades - its touch can be felt everywhere, from the emergence of hitmakers such as Cascada and September, and even in the discographies of pop groups like Girls Aloud (shoutout to Memory Of You - a trance-like cousin to Toca!).

This week 22 years ago, it debuted at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart. An instant classic it had chart sales totalling over 185,000 in its first week alone.

A bootleg mashup of two existing songs - Coco's 1994 Top 40 hit I Need A Miracle (written by Rob Davis who also wrote Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head!) and Fragma's own Toca Me, Toca's Miracle would sit at the top of the Official Singles Chart for two weeks.
