Billboard Hot Dance Chart 25th February 1984
The Billboard Dance chart would often have a very good showing of Hi-NRG, as well as Synth Pop tracks, unlike the British mainstream dance clubs, which focussed their music policy mainly on soul and black music. In this Billboard chart, the Dionne Warwick track remained firmly in the gay clubs in the UK, failing to get much mainstream interest or play at all. Whilst in the USA, British synth pop band the Eurythmics ‘Here Comes The Rain Again’, Toni Basil’s ‘Over My Head’ and Frankie’s ‘Relax’ were huge on gay dance floors and in gay club DJ mix sets.
