"Sing Hallelujah" is a 1992 song recorded by the Sweden-based musician and producer Dr. Alban. It was the third single from his second studio album One Love. The song was released in 1993 and became a great hit reaching the top 10 in almost all European countries and managing #16 in the UK Singles Chart. After "It's My Life", this was the second Dr Alban's hit which had an international scope.
