However successful Whigfield became on the international marketplace, the only place where she has yet to achieve major commercial success, is the United States. A third single was released "Saturday Night (Klm Mixes)" in late 2008 which contains 20 new mixes. A second single "Right In The Night" was released in May 2008, which peaked at No. 4 on the Interactive Chart. On 18 December, she released her first single in three years, "Think of You", which contains mixes from Mathieu Bouthier & Muttonheads and Gabry Ponte.
The album also includes two new songs, "Rainbow" and "Right in the Night", a cover version of Jam & Spoon's track. The album included updated versions of "Think of You", "Gotta Getcha", "Sexy Eyes", "Givin All My Love", "No Tears To Cry", "Was A Time", "Close To You", "Out Of Sight", "Another Day", and her biggest hit, "Saturday Night". In October 2007, Whigfield released All In One, a greatest hits album with past hits being resung with newer, modern beats. Another Pignagnoli project, Ally & Jo, featured a similar voice to Whigfield's but different faces in the CD cover and led to the accusations. "Saturday Night" was produced by Larry Pignagnoli and Davide Riva, two Italian producers known for a variety of Eurodance projects, who usually worked with vocalists such as Daniela Galli (better known as Dhany), Annerley Gordon (aka Ann Lee) and Sandy Chambers. This was because she did all her live performances lip synching (miming to a backing track). Like the group Milli Vanilli, Whigfield was accused of not singing her own songs. "Gimme Gimme" and "Sexy Eyes" reached No. 14 and No. 6 in Australia, respectively, and they were the only two significant charting hits in that country. Later singles include "Think of You", "Close To You", "Last Christmas", "Gimme Gimme" and "Sexy Eyes". "The single "Another Day" did also well in number of other markets where it entered the Top-10 including UK, Switzerland, Norway and her native Denmark. While "Saturday Night" is considered the biggest hit by Whigfield, her single "Another Day" also managed to peak at No.3 in Italy where she was then based. It was also the single which prevented Wet Wet Wet from reaching a record-equalling 16th week at number 1 in the UK.
It hit the Top-5 in majority of European markets, and even managed to top the charts in Germany, UK, Switzerland. It didn't take long for the single to become a Europe-wide hit at the end of 1994 and the beginning of 1995. Her single "Saturday Night" entered the Top-5 in Italy as well as in other European markets in October 1995. Sannie Charlotte Carlson rose to prominence when she signed to Italian based record company X-Energy. The name "Whigfield" is a tribute to her piano teacher. When she met the producer Larry Pignagnoli, who also produces Benny Benassi, Katla, In-Grid, Ally & Jo, Ann Lee, Spagna, J.K., Dhany and others, the artist "Whigfield" was born. Before singing Sannie worked as a very successful model and studied music.
She spent several years in Africa as a child before returning to her native country. Sannie Charlotte Carlson was born in Skælskør, Denmark. Singles from her following albums were also very popular across Europe and Asia in the mid '90s and were produced by Italian producer Larry Pignagnoli. Sannie Charlotte Carlson (born 11 April 1970), best known as Whigfield and also as Naan, is a Danish born, Italian based Eurodance singer best known for the song "Saturday Night" which was a worldwide hit in 1994.
