Songs that share the same title and the same success: ‘Infinity’

For the eleventh installment of our series on songs that share the same title and the same success, today we bring you a most international song. Infinity is a widely used word not only in the music industry but also in the entertainment industry and there have been many artists who have used it for their songs, including those who have called their creations that way.

In recent years we have had three very notorious examples that have managed to reach the top of the sales lists, although for different reasons. When you hear the word Infinity, do you remember the song by Jaymes Young, Guru Josh or One Direction?

We are going to analyze the common points and the differences of these three songs and if you want to take a look at our latest reports, do not miss the analysis of say my name, Just can’t get enough, The skinny girl, Miss, I don’t care, memories, Fire, Happy, man Y love you.

Infinity by Jaymes Young

Social networks have popularized this song published in 2017 to the point that five years later it has managed to become number 1 of the sales charts including also the top of our LOS40 list.

Infinity has already made history on the list by being the song that has taken the longest to enter the chart since the date of publication, as it was released on June 23, 2017 and debuted on LOS40 on April 30, 2022 (a difference of four years and ten months). What follows is the longest period from publication to number one,

The song was included in his so far only album, Feel something. But the virality of social networks has given it a second life and almost instant success after reaching thousands of people around the world. A ballad halfway between pop and electronic music whose hook is undeniable.

Infinity by Guru Josh

paul waden it was the name of the dj that was ‘hiding’ behind Guru Josh. He sadly passed away in 2015 at the age of 51 after a brief illness. As a musical legacy he left what everyone in the industry calls a one hit wonder: infinity.

It was the song with which he achieved his greatest success in the music industry in the 90s. An electronic song that did not stop touring the clubs for years. So much so that almost 10 years after its creation, a remix of the song once again took the world by storm under the name of Guru Josh Project.

More than 6 million copies of that ‘updated’ remix were sold by German DJ Klaas who renamed his song Infinity 2008. The result was very similar to that achieved in 1990. A real boom in which the saxophone and electronic rhythms shone well above a brief lyric: “Here’s my key, Philosophy, A freak like me , Just needs infinity, Relax, Take your time, And take your time, To trust in me, And you will find, The time goes by, So naturally, Why you’ll receive, Infinity”.

One Direction Infinity

One Direction’s Infinity is perhaps the most unknown to the general public but in terms of popularity, given the incredible number of fans that the British boyband had, it may be the most listened to. This song was going to be the third single from the album. Made in the AM but finally the group and their record label decided that this honor would correspond to History.

A decision caused by everything that happened around the band that after the departure of Zayn Malik continued as a quartet but with the impression that they would soon take a break after half a decade of absolute frenzy. Composed by Jamie Scott, John Ryan and Julian Bunetta, Infinity is also one of the songs most loved by 1D fans who have made it one of the group’s latest hits. Until now…
