Ghost Town DJs - My Boo (Pt.1) (Ultimix Vol 60 Track 3)

Ghost Town Dj’s - My Boo (Part 1) 6:19 (129 BPM) Remix By DJ Roach “My Boo“ is the only single released by Ghost Town DJ’s. It was released on Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def label and Columbia. The song, an invite by a female to a male, blends R&B-style vocals over a bass beat. It was written by Carlton Mahone and Rodney Terry, with lead vocals sung by Virgo Williams. The song peaked at number 31 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on its initial release in 1996. In 2016, the song was re-popularized by the “Running Man Challenge“ and re-entered the Hot 100, achieving a new peak of number 27 twenty years after its original release. “My Boo“ was also a big hit in New Zealand, where it peaked at number three in October 1996. “My Boo“ entered the Billboard charts on the issue dated June 15, 1996 with its number 71 debut on the Hot R&B Airplay chart, with early airplay concentrated at Southern R&B radio stations. Three weeks later, following its commercial release as a vinyl 12 inch single, it entered the Hot R&B Singles and Hot 100 charts at numbers 41 and 65, respectively. On the latter chart, where it was the highest-ranking debut of the week, nearly 85% of the single’s chart points were derived from airplay, with its vinyl-only release precluding a larger contribution from sales. Though it was ultimately never released domestically in the more popular cassette and CD configurations, the single managed to peak at numbers 18 and 31 on Hot R&B Singles and the Hot 100, respectively. The song was especially popular at rhythmic radio stations, peaking at number 2 on the Top 40/Rhythm-Crossover chart. Abroad, the song became a major hit in New Zealand, where it rose to number three on the RIANZ Singles Chart and earned a Gold certification for sales in excess of 5,000 copies. Nearly twenty years after the song’s original chart run, a resurgence in its popularity driven by the Running Man Challenge viral meme prompted its re-entry on the charts dated May 21, 2016. On the strength of 35,000 digital download sales and 12.3 million domestic streams, “My Boo“ re-entered the R&B chart, which had long since been renamed Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, at number 14, and the Hot 100 at number 29, surpassing the single’s initial peaks on both charts. It subsequently peaked at numbers 10 and 27, respectively. Label: UM-060 Country: US Released: 1996
