I had both CDs from this film and I listened to them daily. I even tried to do the dances from the film from memory. Yeah…that's when I realized that the dancing in this film takes years of training and the body of a ballroom dancer.
Which is why the black male and female dancers in this movie looked really awkward. They danced too close together and her boobs and ass were in the way. -

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.
