List Of Disco 80s 90s The Greatest Hits

[Kenya Ahyet]

Youwill see this list presented online in many different forms, but according to Billboard Publications, these are the official 2013 list of popular disco songs. All information due to change in the future without notification.

The world lost two of the great icons of Seventies disco, Donna Summer and Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb, last week. We asked you to name your favorite disco song of all time, and unsurprisingly, Summer and the Bee Gees dominated your picks. Given the enduring popularity of their biggest hits and their close association with the genre, the results for this poll probably would have turned out about the same even if they hadn't just passed away. Click through to see your selections.

"Night Fever," the third of the Bee Gees' five hit singles from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, emphasizes the luxurious textures of classic era disco, with the lush arrangement and harmonies contrasting sharply with its lean rhythm.

Thelma Houston's rendition of "Don't Leave Me This Way" was a massive international hit. It broke big as a single in its own right, but became even bigger when it was included on the soundtrack of Looking for Mr. Goodbar.

The Bee Gees' first major disco tune, "You Should Be Dancing," marks the first time Barry Gibb showed off his famous falsetto. It was an inspired move, and managed to push a funky, fun tune way over the top into greatness.

The Bee Gees weren't the only act to get a huge boost from Saturday Night Fever. The Trammps released "Disco Inferno" to only modest success in 1976, but it became a smash after appearing on the film's soundtrack a year later.

The Rolling Stones embraced disco on Some Girls in 1978. "Miss You," the album's biggest hit, ranks among the band's greatest works, seamlessly blending the elegant groove of the disco movement with elements of raw blues and rock that have always been the group's stock in trade.

Donna Summer's most famous songs with producer Giorgio Moroder veered off course from typical disco sounds and textures, but their 1978 hit "Last Dance" is pure disco bliss, with glorious high-hats and orchestration that took the sound of the day and pushed it further toward perfection.

Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder's breakthrough hit "I Feel Love" is one of the most visionary pop hits of all. Its minimal electronic sound presaged all manner of electronic pop and laid the groundwork for house music.

Gloria Gaynor's 1979 smash is one of pop's most enduring tunes. The sound may be very much rooted in peak-era disco, but its sentiment about self-belief and triumph over adversity is evergreen. Seriously, just try to imagine how many times this song gets sung at a karaoke bar in any given week. The mind boggles!

Saturday Night Fever is the high-water mark of the disco movement, and the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" is the high-water mark of Saturday Night Fever. The band's most iconic hit is forever associated with disco's biggest cultural moment, and it's probably one of the first songs that comes to mind when anyone thinks of disco in general.

This is a list of the world's best-selling albums of recorded music in physical mediums, such as vinyl, audio cassettes or compact discs. To appear on the list, the figure must have been published by a reliable source and the album must have sold at least 20 million copies and certified at least 10 million units (the equivalent of a diamond certification by the RIAA).[a] This list can contain any types of album, including studio albums, extended plays, greatest hits, compilations, various artists, soundtracks and remixes. The figures given do not take into account the resale of used albums. Certified copies are sourced either from available online databases of local music industry associations or a country with an established certifying authority (see List of music recording certifications).

Michael Jackson's Thriller, estimated to have sold 70 million copies worldwide, is the best-selling album ever.[4][5][6] Jackson also currently has the highest number of albums on the list with five, Celine Dion has four, while the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Madonna and Whitney Houston each have three.

The charts of the best-selling albums by year in the world are compiled by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry annually since 2001. These charts are published in their two annual reports, the Digital Music Report and the Recording Industry in Numbers. Both the Digital Music Report and the Recording Industry in Numbers were replaced in 2016 by the Global Music Report.[228]

In 2022, for sales of albums in 2021, IFPI reported three formats of sales chart, the Global all-format chart which includes all physical sales, digital downloads and streaming numbers, newly created Global vinyl album chart counting vinyl physical sales, combination of physical sales and digital downloads as Global album sales chart.

Importing music to Italy in the eighties cost a lot of money, so much so that they decided to cut the outgoings and produce their version of dance music. Some might say it was an irreversible catastrophe that exposed atrocious music to the world for far longer than necessary. In contrast, others cherish its reaction in their shoulders, hips, and feet ever since, not to mention its lasting impact on dance music in general (it did influence New Order).

We go from bad dreams to good times with good old Paul Paul at number 2. This song was ahead of its time. Next to our number 1, this is the most musically accomplished song on the list. The beginning and bridge sections of this song sounds like an advert or an AIR song.

The one Italo artist on this list I could never be embarrassed of. The one I appreciate so much I listened to his greatest hits underwater while exploring coral reefs in Thailand. You will never know the thrill of imagining yourself driving a Ferrari with a glamorous Italian woman and finding a purple starfish at the same time.

Of course, Giorgi boy had to be first. If Kraftwerk are fathers of techno, then you can call Giorgio the father of disco and by default Italo Disco. His reputation and career stretch from 1969 to the present day and his influence can be felt from everything from music, TV and film. He has scored numerous films and he is the only one on the list to win Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes or any award whatsoever actually. He may have reached the zenith of his field and become like a god to millions of dance music fans the world over, but Italo Disco is where he found his voice. Indeed, you could say this entire list is comprised of his rejected mongrel children, orphaned for not being cool enough.

These 10 songs straddle a multitude of genres, but are surefire crowdpleasers for any karaoke session. Trust us, no karaoke session is complete without at least one of these all time greats in the mix!

Is this real life, is this just fantasy? An absolute masterpiece from Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody seamlessly blurs the lines between pop, rock and opera to create quite simply the best karaoke song of all time.

Everyone knows that karaoke isn't about being a professional singer. That said, it always make you feel like royalty when you nail a tune! These 10 easy karaoke songs are sure to help you look like a genuine popstar at your next karaoke session (or at very least they'll stop you from accidentally crucifying a classic!)

Killing it at karaoke is great, but killing it at karaoke with a partner is even better! The give and take of a great duet make for brilliant shared singing experience, and these 10 duets are sure to have you vibsing with your karaoke partner on a spiritual level...

The great thing about this duet is that it's relatively easy to sing. There isn't a huge vocal range so it doesn't take much effort to sound half decent. Definitely one to start warming up a crowd with!

Be warned: this is an absolutely brilliant duet, but it is pretty hard to nail. The vocals of Alicia Keys are more than a touch powerful and you'll only remember about half as many of Jay Z's rap lyrics as you think you do!

There was always going to be a lot of Disney on this list! A Whole New World is the best song from Disney's Aladdin for a kids sing along, but Arabian Nights, Friend Like Me and One Jump Ahead are also excellent choices.

The masters of child-friendly pop, most of the songs in the S Club 7 back catalogue make for a great kids karaoke session, but due to its upbeat, energetic tempo Don't Stop Moving is definitely the best.

Who hasn't dreamt of being a rapper at some point in their life? While popping bottles in the club with 50 might not be entirely feasible, rapping along to his music next time you're performing karaoke most certainly is with these classic hip hop tracks!

Be warned: this song is a lot harder than most people realise, as while everyone remembers the opening Dr. Dre verse and chorus clearly, they tend to forget how difficult the Queen Pen verse at the end is!

The first hip hop song to win an Academy Award! An absolute masterpiece, Eminem wrote and recorded Lose Yourself during the breaks between shooting scenes for his film 8 Mile using a portable recording studio he brought on to the set.

The first recording of California Love actually features three verses from Dr. Dre, but there's only one copy of this initial session in existence and it's owned by DJ Jam, Snoop Dogg's personal concert DJ.

It's impossible to hear the opening chords of Can't Hold Us and fail to get pumped up! There's also great pleasure to be had in watching yourself and your friends fail miserably to match Macklemore's double time.

If you're going to perform a hip hop party anthem, it doesn't get much better than the stand out single from 50 Cent's debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Any song that gets described by the usually austere BBC as "a spectacular party anthem" must be doing something right!

How's this for a bit of rock 'n' roll trivia: Slash has a defibrillator attached to his heart to regulate its pulse, and while playing at Michael Jackson's 40th birthday party the defibrillator malfunctioned and shocked him several times but Slash played through the pain pretending nothing was wrong.
