yo yo been forever since I been here lol. so here's a wip for y'all. gonna go and look to see what I haven't posted here since I've been super active on Twitter/X
This is a new one in my collection, got this one on monday! This is the 19th set of the mainline Dancemania series. It features artists such as: Smile.dk, Ni-Ni, N-Trance, Kylie Minogue, Spice Girls, 2 Unlimited, Me & My, and more!
Originally, Dancemania X9 had a slipcase onto it, but my copy didn't come with one. But, it's fine. This was the last of the mainline series that had the "X" onto it's name, until it became Dancemania 20.
Compared to X1, the series started to change. They started to add more trance music onto the series, as seen with the last couple tracks.
Also Me & My returns with my no. 1 favorite song from my no. 1 favorite album of theirs. Too bad they didn't have much song from that album into the series, but tbh they didn't much songs in the series. Mainly repeats of their 2 most popular songs, "Dub-I-Dub" and "Baby Boy".
We also have our share of songs that are exclusive to this compilation: Pinky's "Smashin Love," and Project One's "Stay With Me," both are by Evento Music from Italy (It's always their songs that never get released out of Dancemania, if not it's CX Publishing)
We also have some tracks that appeared in Dance Dance Revolution! DJ AC-DC's "Never Ending Story (Power Club Vocal Mix)" and 2 Unlimited's "Twilight Zone (R-C Extended Club Mix)"!
Honestly if u want a Dancemania mix that features both Eurodance, House, and Trance, I'd say this one is a good release! Honestly, the same would go for Dancemania X8 and 20 - 22
Favorite Tracks ♥︎
Stay With Me / Project One
Charlene (New Vocal Version) / Missing Heart
Fly High (Club Mix) / Me & My
Set You Free (Flip n Fill Remix) / N-Trance
Tell Me Why (Thunderpuss Club Anthem) / Spice Girls
After searching for this CD since early 2025....I finally have it!
Dancemania X7 is the 17th issue of the mainline Dancemania series. It features reocurring artists such as Captain Jack, E-R0tic, Smile.dk, Ni-Ni and new artists such as Cherri, Ken-D, B-Charme, Sarina Paris, and more!
Dancemania X1 - X6 were notorious for having 3D lenticular inserts for their covers. X7 and X8, however didn't have them. Instead they came in transparent, colourful pastic slipcases. X9 came in a cardboard slipcase. X7 was the last of the mainline series to be released in the year 2000.
My story with X7 was this was one of the Dancemania albums that I have looking everywhere. Personally, just like X8, I wanted my copies to have the slipcases. I did find them once on eBay in an auction, but unfortunately I was outbid in the last second :(
That was until this month where I downloaded Mercari Japan and I found them there. Good thing about it was that shipping prices weren't as bad and I didn't even need a proxy site!
Besides the lovely album art, especially with the slipcase, the compilation is awesome! It features both well known europop tracks with some obscure ones as well. Some of these tracks haven't even released outside of this compilation, but that does go for a lot of Dancemania releases fjsnfn.
There are a lot of songs here that have featured in Dance Dance Revolution such as Ken-D's "The 7 Jump," which was in DDR 4th Mix and Scooch's "More Than I Needed To Know," which was on DDRMAX 2. There is also Ni-Ni's "Dabbi Doo," which featured on a similar arcade game called StepManiaX, where I first heard the song! :D
