Fletcher connected the band the Wild Strawberries with German electronic danceproducer and DJAndré Tanneberger (stage name, ATB). Tanneberger produced a remix of the song, which was released as an ATB single re-titled "Let U Go." This popularized the song on both continents, as the single reached number 18 on the U.S. BillboardHot Dance Music/Club Play charts[4] and number 7 on the German Singles Chart.[5] The song also marked the point in ATB's musical output when he began to produce songs with full vocal tracks, as opposed to sampled and looped vocals.[6]
^Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.
Juno Awards
Michaels won the 2003 Juno Award for Instrumental Album of the Year and received an additional 3 nominations.[3]
