"Don't Stop Movin'" is a song by S Club 7, released as a single on 23 April 2001. The song was written by the group along with their regular songwriter Simon Ellis and Sheppard Solomon, who had worked on hits in the 1990s by Eternal and Michelle Gayle. The song features Bradley McIntosh and Jo O'Meara on lead vocals and is notable for being made in a disco style, and it features real violins and string instruments.[1] It was released on 23 April 2001 as the third single from S Club 7's second studio album, Sunshine (2001).
The song hit number one in the UK Singles Chart twice in the duration of a month (Geri Halliwell's "It's Raining Men" spent two weeks atop the number one position in between),[2] becoming the year's seventh biggest-selling single.[3] It also was awarded the BRIT Award for Best British Single in 2002 and ITV's Record of the Year accolade.[4] The song made it to number 3 in Q's "Guilty Pleasures" list in August 2006.[5] It has sold 801,000 copies in the United Kingdom, as stated by the Official Charts Company. Worldwide, Don't stop Movin' has sold over 2 million copies. [6]
The authors of the song acknowledge that the verse samples Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", a fact that the group claim to have widely spoken about during promotion of the single.[7]
