Mr. Saxobeat

“Mr. Saxobeat” is a single by Romanian recording artist Alexandra Stan, released in 2011. The song was a success in Romania, remaining at number one on the Romanian Top 100 for eight consecutive weeks, being the longest-running #1 in Romania in the 2010s. The song is Stan’s third single from her upcoming debut album. The song has became her most successful single to date and her first to chart outside of Romania. “Mr. Saxobeat” is an up-tempo eurodance song with house elements. The song contains a love message, where Stan speaks of a man she is attracted to and the way he makes her move. The music video shows Stan being arrested, thrown in jail, and seducing a guard to escape. It was shot in MediaPro Studios, Buftea, next to Bucharest. The song has charted in many countries across Europe including a number-one status for many weeks in the Italian Singles Chart, in Denmark and in Slovakia and within the top ten in other sixteen counties. This includes a peak of number-three in the United Kingdom, the highest charting record by a Romanian artist in the UK. Outside Europe, the song peaked at number twenty-five in the Canadian Hot 100, at number-thirteen inside the US Latin Pop Songs and right on the top of the US Hot Dance Airplay Chart, being the third Romanian act to do so, after Inna and Edward Maya ft. Vika Jigulina. It is also a current hit in Latin America.
