While looking at trends across the years, we were also able to determine which decade boasts the most songs guaranteed to fill the dance floor.

Released: 22nd April 2022. NOW Music are proud to present the ultimate journey through the 80s’ biggest floor-fillers… NOW That’s What I Call 80s: Dancefloor. ABBA started what I suppose is a long tradition of Swedish songwriters controlling the zeitgeist of American popular music. (Max Martin now has the most Billboard No 1 hits of anyone outside of The Beatles). In the spirit of pop music’s transient nature, most of ABBA’s songs have faded into the temporal tapestry…or rather, they’re now better known as show tunes, thanks to the astounding success of Mamma Mia! on Broadway. But “Dancing Queen” has endured, perhaps because everyone from Bobby Moynihan’s drunk uncle to your adorable six-year-old cousin can sing along to its chorus. There’s a swagger to the bass line, and the strings lead feels like it’s been etched into our culture by the violin bow. — Zach Blumenfeld The lists below contain the top tunes played at Wigan Pier and Legend in Manchester as well as The Stars Bar in Huddersfield, The Exit, Berties and The Haçienda in Manchester plus the many all-dayers throughout the north and the midlands.
