DJ Fresh’s ‘Louder’ was undoubtedly one of the year’s biggest records in the UK. The record smashed the record for longest spell at number one in the Shazam New Release Chart UK, holding on the top spot for an amazing eight weeks and breaking the previous long streak held by Tinie Tempah. On the record’s release ‘Louder’ immediately broke the first week sales record for 2011, shifting an eye watering 140,000 copies in seven days. Not that we like to brag about such things, but Shazam was telling the world this was going to be huge before the track even went to radio.

The success of ‘Louder’ was given a huge boost thanks to its inclusion in an attention grabbing Lucozade advert. The track’s high NRG vocals mixed with wobbly dubstep bass were instantaneously catchy, but it’s the frantic drum and bass finale that made ‘Louder’ a huge smash. Alongside the likes of Magnetic Man, Skrillex and Nero; DJ Fresh’s ’Louder’ spearheaded the rise of radio friendly dubstep that caught the imagination of the world’s youth in 2011.

DJ Fresh’s ‘Louder’ is the biggest record of 2011 in the UK. If you don’t believe that, just take a look at the stats. On the 18th May the record climbed to the top of the Shazam New Release Chart UK. From then on it held on to the number one spot with ease remaining the most tagged pre release record in Britain for a record breaking eight weeks, smashing the longest spell held at the top of the chart previously held by Tinie Tempah.

The record was released last week and immediately broke the first week sales record for 2011, shifting an eye watering 140,000 copies in seven days. We told the world it was going to big before it had even hit radio, and ‘Louder’s’ emphatic sales figures have proven yet again the power of Shazam’s charts in predicting future hits. (Not that we like to brag about that kind of thing.)

To celebrate this milestone achievement we have a bunch of great compilations from Ministry Of Sound to give away, that not only feature ‘Louder’, but a whole host of bass bin quaking dance music goodness.
