Robbed hit of the week 7/23/18 - AB Logic's "The Hitman"...
from the album AB Logic (1992)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #60
This week's "robbed hit" comes from the dance act AB Logic, who came together in Belgium in the early 1990s. With rapper K-Swing and singer Marianne Festraets, they released their self-title debut (and only) album in 1992. The first single from the record was the brash techno banger "The Hitman". Written by K-Swing with Jacques Butinick and Peter Gillis, it's legacy as a rave classic outweighted its performance on the chart...
"The Hitman" spent 20 weeks on the pop chart, peaking at #60 in September of 1992. The song also climbed to #20 on Billboard's Dance Club Play chart. Internationally, the single made it to #6 in Australia, and #14 in their home of Belgium. Their follow-up release, "Get Up (Move Boy Move)", peaked at #83 on the pop chart, and scaled to #15 on the American dance chart. The third single, "AB Logic", was a top-40 hit in Sweden at #29. After a couple more one-off failed single, AB Logic called it quits in 1996.
