The UK's favourite song to dance to is a Jackson 5 track that entered the charts more than 35 years ago, a survey carried out for a pub chain suggests. I Want You Back - a No 2 hit in 1970 - is most likely to fill dancefloors, according to the poll of 4,800 people.
Tony Christie's (Is This the Way To) Amarillo - which has been number one for four weeks - came third.
Other top tracks were 1980s hit Waiting For A Star To Fall by Boy Meets Girl, and Beyonce's Crazy In Love.
