"Let's Dance" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, released as the title track of his 1983 album Let's Dance. Written by Bowie and produced by Nile Rodgers of the band Chic, it was released as the lead single from the album in March 1983 and went on to become one of his biggest-selling tracks. It was recorded in late 1982 at the Power Station in Manhattan and was the first song recorded for the album. The end of the song features a guitar solo by then-rising blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The single was one of Bowie's fastest-selling. It entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 5 on its first week of release, and stayed at the top of the charts for three weeks.[8] Soon afterwards, the single topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Bowie's first (and only) single to top the charts in both the US and the UK. It was also his second and last single to reach No. 1 in the US. In Oceania, it narrowly missed topping the Australian charts, peaking at No. 2 for three weeks[9] but topped the chart for 4 consecutive weeks in New Zealand. The single became one of the best selling of the year across North America, Central Europe and Oceania. It is one of the 300 best-selling UK singles of all time.[10]
