UK Number 40s: Dexy's Midnight Runners - Dance Stance (1980)

 


Once again we have a number 40 from an act who also had a number 1. Their chart topper was yet to come at this point though.

This was the Top 40 debut for Dexy's Midnight Runners which was original was released in November 1979 and had climbed its way into the Top 40 by February.

In May they would score their first number one with the follow up "Geno". Another number one would come in 1982 with "Come On Eileen" with many changes in personnel. 

Their final Top 40 hit to date came in 1986 after a 3 year gap with "Because Of You" with Kevin Rowland being the only constant member throughout. Despite that fact, this is the only Dexy's Midnight Runners Top 40 hit he wrote by himself.
