"Cry for You" is the title of a number-one Billboard Hot Dance Airplay single by Swedish singer September. The dance pop track spent three weeks at the top spot in May 2007[1]. In the United States, it is the second single from September's album September, succeeding "Satellites" (a #8 hit on the Dance Airplay chart), while overseas it is her fifth single release from her second studio album In Orbit, following "It Doesn't Matter".
The single was a huge success in Sweden as well as the rest of Europe, and can be considered her biggest hit as of yet, together with "Satellites". In her homeland of Sweden, "Cry for You" peaked at the #6 position on the Swedish Top 60 Singles Chart for two weeks in a row. It remained on the singles chart in Sweden for 17 non-consecutive weeks. It stands as the 936th best song of all time in Sweden.[2]
"Cry For You" is the first September single to enter the United World Chart. It peaked at #31 for two weeks so far.
The underlying tune in "Cry For You" is sampled from a 1984 song called "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat.
2008 re-release
In the UK and Ireland, "Cry for You" was re-released in April 2008 on the Hard2Beat Records label, a subsidiary of Ministry of Sound, in a new remix with a new video. The remixed version entered the UK Singles Chart at #9, and later climbed to #5, following release of a physical single for the song.
In France, "Cry For You" topped the airplay chart and debuted at #6 on French Singles Chart.
In Australia the song debuted at #19 on August 10 2008 and peaked at #14 on September 14 2008. In New Zealand the song debuted at number 39 on the issue date September 22, 2008.
