Dancing on the Ceiling was the follow-up to Lionel Richie's debut album and was no disappointment. It helped maintain Lionel Richie atop the POP world. This album actually had more charted songs then his first album. DANCING ON THE CEILING, was huge in night clubs and on radio. SE LA, also ruled the radio station play lists. BALLERINA GIRL, was one of the first videos that crossed over. DON'T STOP, was played heavily in clubs. LOVE WILL CONQUER ALL, also was a huge hit, as was SAY YOU, SAY ME!. All these songs were on the charts! Another great album I am happy to own. On my scale from 1-10, it gets an easy 10!
