how old were kriss kross when they made jump
Jump (Kris Kross song) Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith were only twelve and thirteen years old when they recorded the song. "Jump" was written and produced by Jermaine Dupri. It was the fastest selling single in fifteen years and stayed on top of the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks. Kris Kross's debut album Totally Krossed Out, which features "Jump", sold over four million copies. It also reached number one on the charts in Australia and New Zealand, and number 2 in the United Kingdom, held off the top by KWS' cover song "Please Don't Go". This song kept Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", En Vogue's "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under The Bridge" from the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, in which all three songs peaked at number 2. At the time of its eight-week run, it was the longest running No. 1 since The Police's "Every Breath You Take" spent eight weeks at No. 1 in the summer of 1983.
