"Seven Days and One Week" is a song by Italian-French electronic music act B.B.E. It was released in July 1996 by Triangle Records as the lead single from their debut album, Games (1998). As a representative of the short-lived dream house sound, the song became a top 10 hit worldwide, most notably reaching number-one in Spain, number two in Belgium, Finland, Ireland and Italy, and number three in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it also peaked at number three. Its music video was directed by Martin Weisz.

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

James Hyman from Music Week's RM Dance Update rated the song five out of five, declaring it an "obvious dreamhouse successor" to Robert Miles' 'Children'. He added, "With its 'Shinny/Elevator' pace, jolting stabs, rapid rolls and tinkly piano, Emmanuel Top and the Italian Bruno duo, who are no strangers to this style ('Age of Love'), have created a trump (trouser) trancer. Previously top five in Germany and number one in Spain, expect to see this in a UK Top 10 chart near you soon."[1]

Music video

Impact and legacy

[edit | edit source]

In 1998, DJ Magazine ranked "Seven Days and One Week" number 63 in their list of "Top 100 Club Tunes".[3] In 2014, Jeffrey Sutorius from Dutch electronic music group Dash Berlin ranked the song at number four in his list of "Dash Berlin's Top Five Trance Classics".[4] He said:

I remember when this track came out on Triangle Records. I believe it was around 1996. The production was really clean for that time and the saw tooth synth lead was really basic, but the record did really well on the dance floor. It has been remixed and rereleased many times, but still nothing comes close to the original. There are a lot of trance records from that time that sampled that typical reversed crash cymbal, but I believe BBE were the first to do it.
