1978: Iconic disco anthem dominates Billboard charts

As the third track to be released by this band, it’s almost freaky how popular this song became.

Released in 1978, it is one of the best selling disco records of all time.

The record went platinum seven times across three different continents and skyrocketed its way into the Billboard charts. It reached the number one position in charts throughout Canada, the U.S, South Africa and New Zealand.

The group, originally comprised of five members, wrote the song with lyrics telling security bouncers at nightclubs to get lost.

Do you know what track this is? Care to guess?
