Can't Stop the Music is the sixth studio album and first soundtrack by American disco group Village People, for their film Can't Stop the Music, released in 1980. Though the film was a commercial failure, the album was more well received, reaching number nine on the UK Albums Chart,[2] number 47 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, and number one in Australia. The album was reissued on CD in 1999.
In addition to songs by Village People, the album also contains songs performed by David London and The Ritchie Family. Also included is a re-make of "Y.M.C.A.", which was actually the original 1978 recording with lead singer Victor Willis' voice removed and replaced by lead vocals from new singer Ray Simpson. Simpson's version was not released as a single and, hence, never charted. This is the first Village People album that was not certified Gold by the RIAA.
The album was Village People's last official album for Casablanca Records. They would leave the label for RCA Records shortly after its release.
