"Music Sounds Better with You" is the only record by the French house trio Stardust, released on 20 July 1998. Stardust comprised the producer Thomas Bangalter, the DJ Alan Braxe and the vocalist Benjamin Diamond.
Stardust wrote "Music Sounds Better with You" using a guitar riff sampled from the 1981 Chaka Khan song "Fate". It was initially released on Bangalter's Roulé label, followed by a wider release on Virgin Records, with a music video directed by Michel Gondry.
"Music Sounds Better with You" debuted at number two on the UK Singles Chart in August 1998 and stayed there for two weeks, becoming one of the UK's bestselling singles that year. It also topped the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart for two weeks. It is certified double platinum in the UK, platinum in Australia, gold in Belgium, and silver in France.
The song received positive reviews and has been named one of the greatest dance songs by several publications. Bangalter declined an offer of $3 million from Virgin to produce a Stardust album.
