9 PM (Till I Come)

ATB (a.k.a. André Tanneberger) started his music career in the German dance project Sequential One. Singles brought ATB small financial benefits; he gained the opportunity to organize a mini-studio. In 1999, Sequential One ceased to exist. In 1998, Tanneberger started a solo project named ATB and his first track under this name was "9 PM (Till I Come)". He met a girl and they'd planned to go to the cinema for a date. She was interested in how he was producing music and a tour of the studio resulted in the initial hook. Tanneberger told in a 2024 interview with DJ Mag, "She was interested in to how are you producing music? And I had a really nice little studio these days and, showed her, okay, here, I can do a beat. Here is a guitar sound. And I played this melody. Right in this moment, I recognized, oh this is kind of an interesting melody. And so I started to work the melody and it was going further. And I put the bass in it and programmed. And I finally forgot that she's there, after a time she said, 'Very interesting. But we have to go to the cinema.'" Because the clock was 9 p.m., he saved the track as "9 PM" after the time they left the studio to continue their date. ==Critical reception==

In The Independent, Barney Hoskyns cited the song's "purring titillation" as an example of trance music sublimating sexuality. NMEs Sarah Anderson called it "the woozy sound of Ibiza when it's just too hot" and described Rivera's vocals as "suitably breathy". ==Chart performance==

"9 PM (Till I Come)" peaked at number 14 on the German Singles Chart. Internationally, the song was also successful. In the United Kingdom, "9 PM (Till I Come)" entered at the top of the UK Singles Chart on 27 June 1999 – for the week ending dated 3 July 1999 – becoming the first trance song to top the UK Singles Chart. "9 PM (Till I Come)" remained at the summit of the chart for two weeks before being dethroned by "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin and became Britain's fifth best-selling single of 1999. As of July 2014, it has sold over 890,000 copies in the United Kingdom. In Ireland, the single peaked at the top of the Irish Singles Chart for four consecutive weeks. In Denmark, "9 PM (Till I Come)" peaked at number three on the Danish Singles Chart – as well as peaking at the same position on the Italian Singles Chart and Norwegian Singles Chart in Italy and Norway respectively. In the Flanders region of Belgium, the single peaked at number five on the Ultratop Flanders 50 Singles Chart. In Australia, "9 PM (Till I Come)" peaked at number ten on the ARIA Singles Chart. ==Music video==

A music video was produced to promote the single. Tannenberger has said that it does not have a story. He told in an interview, "I don't understand the story till today. I think there's no story behind. It's just pictures. Somebody wrote it, and the record company arranged it, and I, then I was there, and can't explain what's going on there and why I have this, burnt and exploding and all these things. It's just crazy. But that's the way it is, you know? But I recognize from this video, if I do more videos in the future, I take care about it." ==Track listings==
