BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1981
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be romantic to have a week of LOVE featuring Disco tracks with LOVE in the title. Oh, baby! It’s going to be far out!
“Lay All Your Love on Me” is a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA in 1980 for their seventh studio album, Super Trouper. The original was released only as a 12-inch single in 1981 in limited territories, rather than as a standard 7-inch record. At the time, it was the highest selling 12-inch record in UK chart history, where it peaked at No. 7.
Slant Magazine placed it at No. 60 on their list of the greatest dance songs of all time.
“Lay All Your Love On Me” peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Dance chart on May 2, 1981, after spending 28 weeks on the survey.
