Donna Summer just had two disco smashes hit number one ("Bad Girls" and "Hot Stuff"). Anita Ward hit number one with "Ring Your Bell". Chic would then hit number one for the last time with "Good Times." All disco.

Then "My Sharona" by The Knack skyrocketed up the charts and stayed at number one for six straight weeks.

Donna Summer got in a fight with her label before that album, about wanting to branch out from Disco. That's why Hot Stuff is a rock song, as well as Disco, and has a solo by Skunk Baxter. She also has a New Wave song, The Wanderer, the following year.
