#9 of DJ Akhu's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: 'You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)' by Dead Or Alive (1984)

Welcome back to the Top 100 80s Dance Hits Countdown, by VJ Samsonite, it has been awhile and slow to release but we are back now. At #9, we have the 1984 #1 hit song You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by British new-wave band Dead Or Alive. Dead Or Alive started out in 1980, based out of Wirral, England, and consisting of band members Pete Burns (vocalist), Wayne Hussey (guitar and song-writer), Mike Percy (bass guitar), Steve Coy (drums), Timothy Lever (various instruments), and Jason Alburey (keyboards). They are actually most well-known for You Spin Me Round (LIke a Record), which was released in 1984 on the band's second LP Youthquake, and managed to clench the #1 position on the UK Singles Chart,
and #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The first time I heard this song was actually on the soundtrack to the 1998 film The Wedding Singer, which I believe was an early contributing factor to the retro 80's music and fashion wave that hit around the early 2000's and is now starting to fade away as new indie and electro music comes into play more and more. The final 8 will be posted soon!
