Mr Vain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mr Vain is a popular song by Culture Beat.
Written by Steven Lewis, Noise Katzmann and Jay Supreme and produced by Torsten Fenslau, Mr Vain was the biggest selling single across Europe in 1993. Typical of the Eurodance style of the time, the song first broke in Germany before breaking more widely through the Summer, eventually topping the chart in twelve countries. It reached number one on the UK Singles chart for four weeks in August 1993. It reached number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100.
It is notable in the UK as it was the first number one single not to be available as a 7" since the 1950's and heralded the demise of the 7" single as a mass market medium.
