About This Track
“Le Freak” is a 1978 hit disco song by Chic. It was the band’s third single and first Billboard Hot 100 number-one song. According to the Le Freak Songfacts Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers wrote this after they were not allowed to enter New York City’s Studio 54 nightclub on New Year’s Eve, 1977.
A New York Times critic describes the song as a “haunting, minimalist pop-funk built around the guitar and bass”. “Le Freak” bears the distinction of being the highest selling record ever on Atlantic Records, and the highest-selling single ever on WEA until it was displaced in 1990 (by Madonna’s “Vogue”).
The single achieved sales of over four million and also reached number seven in the UK singles chart.
The song was ranked at number 19 on Billboard Magazine’s top 100 songs of the first 50 years of the Hot 100 chart.
