That is correct. “On the Radio” is a classic hit by the “Queen of Disco,” Donna Summer, and was released in 1979.
Here are the key details about the song:
- Released: 1979
- Album: It was one of two new tracks on her first international compilation album, On the Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes I & II.
- Film Tie-in: It was specifically written for the soundtrack of the film Foxes.
- Producers/Writers: Produced by Giorgio Moroder and co-written by Summer and Moroder.
- Structure: Like some of her other iconic hits (“Last Dance,” “MacArthur Park”), the song starts as a slow ballad before shifting dramatically into its signature upbeat disco rhythm.
- Chart Performance: It was a huge success, becoming her tenth Top 10 hit and peaking at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1980.
