Stardust
"Music Sounds Better with You" is the only song by the French house trio Stardust, released on 20 July 1998. Stardust was composed of the Daft Punk member Thomas Bangalter, the DJ Alan Braxe, and the vocalist Benjamin Diamond.
Stardust formed for a performance at the Rex Club in Paris. They wrote "Music Sounds Better with You" using a guitar riff sampled from the 1981 Chaka Khan song "Fate". It was initially released on Bangalter's Roulé label, followed by a wider release on Virgin Records, with a music video directed by Michel Gondry.
"Music Sounds Better with You" debuted at number two on the UK singles chart in August 1998 and stayed there for two weeks, becoming one of the UK's bestselling singles that year. It also topped the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart for two weeks. It is certified double platinum in the UK, platinum in Australia, and gold in Belgium and France. By 2018, it had sold more than two million copies worldwide.
The song received acclaim and was named one of the greatest dance songs by several publications. Stardust performed once more, at a festival in France, before disbanding. Bangalter declined an offer of $3 million from Virgin to produce a Stardust album.
