"Maldòn" is a 1989 song recorded by the Guadelupian 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.
Chart performances and cover versions
In France, it debuted on 26 May 1990 at number 40 on the French Singles Chart and reached number one four weeks later. It stayed seven weeks at this position, then dropped to number two, being dislodged by Charles D. Lewis's summer hit "Soca Dance". However, after spending 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, on 1 December. It was the number-one single of the year in France.
