"Whoomp! (There It Is)" is the debut single by American hip-hop/pop-rap duo Tag Team, released in May 1993 by label Life as the first single from their debut album by same name (1993). The song was written by members Cecil "DC the Brain Supreme" Glenn and Steve "Rolln" Gibson,[citation needed] and reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot R&B chart, as well as No. 2 on both the Billboard Hot 100[1][2][3] and the Cash Box Top 100. "Whoomp!" reached multi-platinum status and broke records for the number of consecutive weeks in the Billboard top 10.[4] Tag Team is considered a one-hit wonder, as their subsequent singles did not find the same success. "Whoomp!" has remained a pop culture staple with multiple placements in film, television, and advertisements. The song has also endured as a mainstay at sporting and arena events.[citation needed] In 2024, Billboard ranked "Whoomp! (There It Is)" number 14 in their "The 100 Greatest Jock Jams of All Time".[5]
