Can't Stop the Music (album)

Can't Stop the Music is the soundtrack album by Village People for their movie Can't Stop the Music released in 1980. Though the movie was a commercial failure, the album did better, reaching #9 on the UK Albums Chart, #47 on the the Billboard 200 in the U.S.A., and #1 in Australia (on the Kent Music Report). This album was reissued to CD in 1999.

It contains songs not only by the Village People but also by David London and The Ritchie Family. The album also features a re-make of Y.M.C.A. with lead vocals by Ray Simpson. Simpson's remake never charted and was not released as a single. The original version of YMCA with lead Vocals by Victor Willis was, and still remains a huge hit for the Village People, reaching #2 on the Billboard chart.

This is the first Village People album that was not certified Gold by the RIAA.
