All vikisFootloose Soundtrack
Official: The album on Apple Music
The Footloose soundtrack (1984) in full, all 9 songs from Footloose to Never, 36 minutes, each playing from its first second. It was certified Diamond in the US on Dec 6, 2024.
We rate the Footloose soundtrack S tier, and we think it is the most single-minded of the song-led albums here: nine songs and 36 minutes, with no score cue and nothing to skip on the first side. It reached S under our rule late, on the sales count: Diamond, ten million units, was awarded on Dec 6, 2024, almost 41 years after release (RIAA, read Nov 11, 2026). And its songs are still staged: Footloose the Musical opened a UK tour in Plymouth on Feb 14, 2022, after three weeks in Zurich (BroadwayWorld, Jan 7, 2022), the latest professional production we could confirm.
This is the title song, Kenny Loggins's Footloose, track 1. Columbia's album came out on Jan 27, 1984, by Apple Music's date, and at 36 minutes 13 seconds it is the shortest song-led album on this viki.
Nine weeks to No. 1
From No. 131 in its first Billboard week, Feb 18, 1984, it took nine weeks to reach the top, on Apr 21; the May 5, 1984 list is its third week there. Two of its songs, Footloose and Let's Hear It for the Boy, were nominated for the Academy Award for Original Song (oscars.org).
Two by Loggins, seven by others
Kenny Loggins sings two tracks, the title song and I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man); the other seven go to seven different acts, from Deniece Williams and Bonnie Tyler to Shalamar, Karla Bonoff, Sammy Hagar and Moving Pictures, with Almost Paradise, the album's love theme, credited on its upload to Mike Reno. Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out for a Hero is the longest track at 5:46.
Highlights
Our measurement of the nine uploads, run on Nov 11, 2026 (described on the home page), found nothing it was sure of, so this section is empty on purpose. The closest call was Almost Paradise, whose loudest eight seconds, from 2:56, sit 4.7 decibels over its middle, short of the 6 we ask of a climax; no instrument or voice entry came through clearly.
All tracks
Columbia uploaded eight of the nine, shown here in album order. For The Girl Gets Around, whose label upload no longer plays, the row uses a listener's copy on the channel TheManFromCabo, up since Dec 14, 2013, which its title calls a remaster of the soundtrack recording. Play begins each video at 0:00.
