Common card · No. 318888

"Chain Reaction" is a song by American singer Diana Ross, released on November 12, 1985, by RCA and Capitol, as the second single from her sixteenth studio album, Eaten Alive (1985). The song was written by the Bee Gees and contains additional vocals from Barry Gibb. Sonically, "Chain Reaction" is an R&B and dance-pop song. According to the Gibbs' biography, the brothers had initial reservations about offering the song to Ross in case it was too Motown-like for her. Released in the UK in January 1986, "Chain Reaction" was Ross"s second single to top the UK Singles Chart after "I'm Still Waiting" in 1971, spending three weeks at No. 1 from March 8, 1986, and earning the singer a gold disc. It also hit No. 1 in Australia—where it became the best selling single of 1986—Ireland, and Zimbabwe. In New Zealand, it peaked at No. 3 and it made the top 5 in South Africa. In 1993, the song entered the UK top 20 again, when it was re-released to commemorate Ross's 30th anniversary in show business...
