"9 PM (Till I Come)" is a song by German dance producer ATB, featuring uncredited vocals by Yolanda Rivera released as his debut single and the lead single from his debut album Movin' Melodies (1998).[1]

"9 PM (Till I Come)" was the first song to feature the sound of a pitched guitar, which was so striking for the first singles to be released as ATB. Apparently Tanneberger was fooling around with his studio-equipment, while he was showing someone around. He liked the sound so much that it became his trademark, and a worldwide dance hit.

Chart performance

The single peaked at number 14 on the German Singles Chart. Internationally, the song was also successful. The single entered at number one in the United Kingdom for the week ending July 3, 1999 and stayed there for a fortnight,[2] becoming the country's fifth best-selling single of 1999, with around 850,000 copies sold there.[3] The song was also number one in the Republic of Ireland for 2 consecutive weeks. It was number three in Belgium and Norway, number five in Belgium, number seven in Italy and number ten in Australia.
