"Maldòn" is a 1989 song recorded by the Guadeloupean band Zouk Machine. Written and produced by Guy Houllier and Yves Honoré, the song is the first single from the album of the same name, and was released in May 1990. In France, it achieved a huge success, topping the singles charts for nine weeks.
In France, "Maldòn" debuted at number 40 on the chart edition of 26 May 1990 and reached number one four weeks later, replacing "Bo le lavabo" atop. It stayed for seven weeks at this position, then dropped to number two, being dislodged by Charles D. Lewis's summer hit "Soca Dance"; however, after six weeks at number two, it regained number one for other two weeks, then almost did not stop to fall and fell off the top 50 after 27 weeks of presence.[1] It was the number-one single of the year in France.
On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Maldòn" debuted at number 50 on 23 June 1990, peaked at number five in its fourth week,[2] and totalled 15 weeks in the top ten and 23 weeks on the chart. It ranked number 18 on the European year-end chart.[3] It was also much aired on radio, debuting at number 49 on the European Airplay Chart on 30 June and spending 14 weeks on the top 50 with a peak at number five in its sixth week,[4] and was number one on French both AM and PM airplay charts, for example on 28 July 1990.
