Whigfield

Sannie Carlson (best know as Whigfield) is the name of a lady with Danish origins who decided to make her mark in pop music history by selling a few million singles worldwide and gaining a place in the world famous ‘Guinness Book of Records’ with a song called ‘Saturday Night’.

She was the first artist to go straight to number one in the UK singles chart with a debut single. The record went onto to be No.1 in no fewer than 8 countries around the world, this is pop pedigree in anyone’s book!
