<P> 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 Do n'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 . </P>
