Guinness Book Of Hit Singles - Ultimate Film And TV Hit s - Various Artists

Mostly from the 80s, not many hits & almost no disco tracks

Advantages: The 6 number 1 records
Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish

the Swiss chart where it was #4. The song itself certainly does contain elements of disco but then the French were always behind trends as far as music went. 5. Don't Stop The Music - Dina Carroll. From 1990 so its at least 20 years too late to be considered disco and it charted in the UK at #84 so it couldn't possibly be considered a hit. It sounds more like a House/Funk fusion if I'm honest, not even slightly like disco. 6. Hit And Run Lover - Carol Jiani. From 1981, it reached #4 on the US Billboard Club Play Singles chart. Its very synth pop and sounds a lot like "Trapped" by Colonel Abrahams. Or "Searching" by Hazel Dean.

This album is a collection of 39 tracks all of which were in the UK charts above the top 5 position. Its 2 cds (with 20 tracks on CD1 & 19 tracks on CD 2), all chart positions are UK Singles Chart positions. So whats on the album? Disc: 1 1. Discotheque - U2 (was #1, 1997) To be honest this wasn't one of U2's better songs but fan power got it to the #1 spot. 2. Let Me Entertain You - Robbie Williams (was #3, 1998) Probably one of Robbie best known ...
