"DANCE TRACKS VOL. 1" is the first album from the SUPER MONKEY's and technically Namie's first official album, released a few days before her debut as a solo artist. At its core it's more of a remix album, as all the songs aside from the three new ones have new arrangements. It debuted at #1 on the charts and had sold nearly two-million copies by the end of its run.
