“Push It” was originally released in 1987 as the B-side to "Tramp" before becoming an unexpected smash hit, following its success, it was added to later editions of Salt-N-Pepa's 1986 debut album Hot, Cool & Vicious. The track peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, #2 on the UK Singles Chart and #1 in the Netherland, earning the group their first Grammy nomination and helping establish female rap as a commercial force in the mainstream.

Radio DJs began playing "Push It" instead of its intended A-side, prompting the group's label to quickly reissue the single with the song as the main attraction.

"Steppin' Out" was inspired by the excitement of New York nightlife after Joe Jackson moved there following his divorce. The sophisticated synth-pop classic became his biggest US hit, peaking at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Grammy nominationsfor Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

The song found a new audience decades later after being featured on the Emotion 98.3 radio station in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories(2006), introducing its sleek 1980s sound to a new generation of players.

"Stay the Night" was the debut solo single by Benjamin Orr, bassist and co-vocalist of The Cars, for his only solo album, The Lace. The track was co-written by Orr with Diane Grey Page, his then-girlfriend and songwriting partner on the album.

Released during The Cars' break between Greatest Hits (1985) and Door to Door (1987), the song brought melodic and sophisticated pop-rock that gave Orr the chance to shine as a frontman on his own. It became her only solo hit on the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #24, as well as reaching #2 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #6 on the Album Rock Tracks chart in early 1987. The Lace also featured Elliot Easton, guitarist of The Cars, and was produced by Benjamin Orr, Larry Klein and Mike Shipley.

“You Got It” was recorded by Roy Orbison in 1988 and released in 1989 as the lead single from his posthumous album Mystery Girl. Written by Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, and Tom Petty, the song became one of the biggest hits of Orbison's later career, reaching #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, #3 on the UK Singles Chart, and the Top 10 in several other countries. Its success marked an extraordinary comeback for an artist whose commercial peak had come more than two decades earlier.

By 1988, Roy Orbison had become a member of the Traveling Wilburys, alongside George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, a collaboration that helped revive his career and inspired the creative direction of Mystery Girl. Featuring Tom Petty on bass and backing vocals and Jeff Lynne's distinctive production style, “You Got It” showcased a brighter, more upbeat sound than many of Orbison's classic heartbreak ballads. Tragically, Orbison died of a heart attack in December 1988, just weeks before the song's release, meaning he never witnessed the remarkable success of his final major comeback...

“Words” is from F.R. David’s 1982 album Words. the romantic synth-pop song reached #1 in France, Italy, and Switzerland, while peaking at #2 on the UK Singles Chart and #2 in Germany. Its instantly recognizable synthesizer melody, gentle electronic production, and David's distinctive high-pitched vocals made it one of the defining European pop hits of the early 1980s.

Before finding international fame as a solo artist, F.R. David (Elli Robert Fitoussi) had already built an extensive career as a guitarist and vocalist. He worked with Vangelis in the early 1970s before joining the French rock band Les Variations, appearing on their final album, Café de Paris (1975). After spending several years working as a session musician in the United States, he returned to France and developed the synth-pop sound that would eventually make “Words” a worldwide phenomenon. The single went on to sell more than eight million copies worldwide, while David's signature sunglasses and white guitar became an instantly recognizable part of his image.

“Le Freak” is from Chic’s 1978 album C'est Chic. Written by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, the disco classic became the band's biggest hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, topping the US R&B and Dance charts and becoming Atlantic Records' best-selling single for many years, selling more than seven million copies worldwide.

After being denied entry to Studio 54 to see Grace Jones, Rodgers and Edwards went home and wrote a chorus that originally chanted "Aaaah, f**k off!" Realizing it would never receive radio airplay, they changed it to "Freak out!" and added the French "Le" for a more stylish touch. The song's popularity was so immense that it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on three separate occasions between 1978 and 1979, an exceptionally rare feat.
