Whigfield is a Danish singer best known for the song Saturday Night, a hugely popular single of summer 1994. Born Sannie Charlotte Carlson in Skælskør, Denmark on April 11 1970, she spent several years in Africa as a child before returning to her native country. She can speak English, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, French and Italian.

She rose to prominence when her single Saturday Night became the summer smash hit of 1994, thanks to extensive play in the clubs of the Mediterranean and the fact that it had an easy to learn dance. She became the first ever artist to debut at No.1 in their first week in the UK Singles Chart. Her music was also very successful in Brazil, Canada, Australia, and the Nordic countries during the 1994 eurodance phenomenon.
