More Olivia Newton-John More Olivia Newton-John

Two dance tracks that feature Olivia Newton-John and Kylie Minogue are battling it out in the US Billboard Charts.

DJ duo Nervo’s The Other Boys, which features Minogue as well as Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters fame and revered producer/musician Nile Rodgers is sitting at #5 on the influential Dance Club Play charts, with Dave Aude’s You Had To Believe, featuring Olivia Newton-John and daughter Chloe Lattanzi, fighting to surpass it, at #6.

Aude's song revisits Newton-John's 1980 hit Magic which was lifted from the soundtrack to her film Xanadu.

Nervo’s single has spent six weeks in the US charts, jumping from #8 to #5 in the past week, with You Have To Believe shifting from #10 to #6 after five weeks in the charts.

Minogue has had 12 #1s on the Dance Club Play charts, with Nervo having one, while Olivia Newton-John and Chloe Lattanzi have none.

If The Other Boys climbs its way to the top, it puts Minogue equal eighth for most number ones in this chart, tied with Whitney Houston, Lady Gaga and Enrique Iglesias. Madonna holds the record with 46 #1s.

Melbourne-born sisters Miriam and Olivia Nervo started collaborating at an early age, quickly moving to London where they now reside, producing pop electro and progressive house and perform with the lives of David Guetta, while Moonshine Music co-founder Dave Aude is house DJ who has been in the scene since the early ‘90s.
