===2000s resurgence=== [[File:04232012dae jpg semana de la cultura159.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.15|Students from [[Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, Mexico City]] dancing to disco during a cultural event on campus]] In the early 2000s, an updated genre of disco called "nu-disco" began breaking into the mainstream. A few examples like [[Daft Punk]]'s "[[One More Time (Daft Punk song)|One More Time]]" and [[Kylie Minogue]]'s "[[Love at First Sight (Kylie Minogue song)|Love at First Sight]]" and "[[Can't Get You Out of My Head]]" became club favorites and commercial successes. Several nu-disco songs were crossovers with [[funky house]], such as [[Spiller]]'s "[[Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)]]" and [[Modjo]]'s "[[Lady (Hear Me Tonight)]]", both songs sampling older disco songs and both reaching number one on the [[UK Singles Chart]] in 2000. [[Robbie Williams]]'s disco single "[[Rock DJ]]" was the UK's fourth best-selling single the same year. [[Jamiroquai]]'s song "[[Little L]]" and "[[Murder on the Dancefloor]]" by [[Sophie Ellis-Bextor]] were hits in 2001. Rock band [[Manic Street Preachers]] released a disco song, "Miss Europa Disco Dancer", in the same year. The song's disco influence, which appears on ''[[Know Your Enemy (Manic Street Preachers album)|Know Your Enemy]]'', was described as being "much-discussed".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2001/mar/16/shopping.culture1|title=Condemned to rock'n'roll|first=Garry|last=Mulholland|date=March 16, 2001|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=December 11, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170224140032/https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2001/mar/16/shopping.culture1|archive-date=February 24, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2005, Madonna immersed herself in the disco music of the 1970s and released her album ''[[Confessions on a Dance Floor]]'' to rave reviews. One of the singles from the album, "[[Hung Up]]", which samples [[ABBA]]'s 1979 song "[[Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)]]", became a major club staple. In addition to Madonna's disco-influenced attire to award shows and interviews, her [[Confessions Tour]] incorporated various elements of the 1970s, such as disco balls, a mirrored stage design, and the [[roller derby]]. In 2006, [[Jessica Simpson]] released her album ''[[A Public Affair]]'' inspired by disco and the 1980s music. The first single of the album, ''[[A Public Affair (song)|"]]''[[A Public Affair (song)|A Public Affair"]], was reviewed as a disco-dancing competition influenced by Madonna's early works. The video of the song was filmed on a skating rink and features a line dance of hands.<ref name="Billboardbooks">{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PhYEAAAAMBAJ&q=jessica+simpson+a+public+affair+billboard+release&pg=PA53|title=A Public Affair Spotlight|magazine=Billboard|date=July 1, 2006|accessdate=June 4, 2020|archive-date=May 22, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240522081501/https://books.google.com/books?id=PhYEAAAAMBAJ&q=jessica+simpson+a+public+affair+billboard+release&pg=PA53#v=snippet&q=jessica%20simpson%20a%20public%20affair%20billboard%20release&f=false|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r849668}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/3w8c/|title=BBC - Music - Review of Jessica Simpson - A Public Affair|first=Lizzie|last=Ennever|access-date=September 7, 2021|archive-date=May 22, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240522082004/https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/3w8c/|url-status=live}}</ref> The success of the "nu-disco" revival of the early 2000s was described by music critic Tom Ewing as more interpersonal than the pop music of the 1990s: "The revival of disco within pop put a spotlight on something that had gone missing over the 90s: a sense of music not just for dancing, but for dancing with someone. Disco was a music of mutual attraction: cruising, flirtation, negotiation. Its dancefloor is a space for immediate pleasure, but also for promises kept and otherwise. It's a place where things start, but their resolution, let alone their meaning, is never clear. All of 2000's great disco number ones explore how to play this hand. [[Madison Avenue (band)|Madison Avenue]] look to impose their will upon it, to set terms and roles. Spiller is less rigid. 'Groovejet' accepts the night's changeability, happily sells out certainty for an amused smile and a few great one-liners."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ewing|first1=Tom|title=SPILLER β "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)"|url=http://freakytrigger.co.uk/popular/2015/04/spiller-groovejet-if-this-aint-love-2/|website=Freaky Trigger|access-date=April 12, 2017|date=April 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170222225543/http://freakytrigger.co.uk/popular/2015/04/spiller-groovejet-if-this-aint-love-2/|archive-date=February 22, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
