Well, the look, sound and feel of this video is very 80s indeed! Although
this single reached No.1 on the U.S. Dance Chart, it only peaked at
No.62 here in the UK in 1989. It was the band's last single to chart until the 2003 remix of You Spin Me Round reached #23, and was lifted from the fourth studio album,
Nude
The band's previous single, Turn Around And Count 2 Ten was the first single release from the album and had reached #2 on the U.S. Dance Chart and #70 in the UK Singles Chart. The third and final single to be released from the Nude album was Baby Don't Say Goodbye which failed to chart here in Britain, but reached #6 on the U.S. Dance chart.
Nude was not a commercial success and failed to chart in the UK. The album's highest-charting position was in Canada where it peaked at an unremarkable #87. In the U.S. it could only manage #106.
Overall, Dead Or Alive managed to chart in the British Top 40 singles chart six times during the 1980s, their biggest hit being You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) which topped the charts in many countries, including the UK. The song was the lead single from the band's most successful album Youthquake, which achieved Platinum sales in Canada and Gold in the UK and U.S.
