Soundtrack to Footloose had 6 top 40 hits off of it.
Footlose - Hit #1
Let's Hear It For The Boy - Hit #1
Almost Paradise - Hit #7
Holding Out For A Hero - #35
Dancing In The Sheets - #17
I'm Free - #22
I'd say that's WAY more successful than Dirty Dancing.

I honestly do not think the OP implied that because she went on to discuss nostalgia about dancing.
But thanks for participating I guess. You must be one of those Trivia Pursuit all star winners.

Was just researching that… I see it in used record shops a
lot
, so it was obviously a huge seller. Apparently there were four that officially originated from the soundtrack, but also several others that got a second life or finally took off after being included on it.

Ah man that soundtrack still rocks to this day. I forgot about that.
But I still feel like Dirty Dancing had a better soundtrack. Just because those other movies had #1 hit song doesn't mean that the soundtrack was great.

My mom is a huge Bee Gees fan, but it took me quite a while to warm up to their disco era. On the other hand, the real old school stuff like "Gotta Get a Message to You," "Words," "Massachusetts," etc. caught my ear from the start.
