"Jump" is a 1992 song by the hip pop duo Kris Kross.
"Jump" is a song recorded by the rock group Van Halen. It is the only single the group released in their career to reach #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was released in 1984 as the second track on the album 1984. The song breaks the mold of earlier Van Halen songs, mainly in its rolling synth line (played on an Oberheim OB-Xa), although the song contains the standard Eddie Van Halen guitar solo, which Eddie claims as his favorite solo he ever wrote.
The video for "Jump" was directed by David Lee Roth.
"Jump" may be Van Halen's most popular and instantly recognizable composition, perhaps because its sound embodies the key aspects of both of the two genres of popular music most associated with the 1980s in America: synth-driven pop and "arena"-style metal. Its synthesized brass introduction is one of popular music's most recognizable musical introductions. The song changed the future and style of Van Halen from being a predominantly Hard Rock band to one of more radio-oriented popular music.
"Jump" is the fourth and final single from Madonna's album, Confessions on a Dance Floor. The song was written by Madonna, Joe Henry and Stuart Price. "Jump" was released in the US on November 7 2006 and on November 6 2006 in the UK. The song was also released on iTunes in the US on October 24 2006.
"jump" was the 20th single by the Japanese j-pop group Every Little Thing, released on October 17, 2001.
"Jump (For My Love)" was the opening track (and third single) of the Pointer Sisters' 1983 album, Break Out.
Released prior to the 1984 Summer Olympics games, the song's video featured footage of athletes competing in track and field events. The song was the second of four Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in a row for the sisters in 1984; it peaked at #3 in July. It also appeared on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart and was reached the Top 10 in the UK, peaking at number six.
The song netted the group a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1985.
In 2003, this recording was used in the movie Love Actually.
