American Songwriter looks back at three artists' final chart-topping singles from the disco era, highlighting how each song capped a run of success just before the genre's popularity faded as the 1980s began. The piece frames these tracks as a fitting send-off, with each artist "saving the best for last" before moving on from disco's dominance of the charts.

The three songs are Chic's "Good Times" (1979), written by guitarist Nile Rodgers the morning it was recorded and following the success of "Le Freak"; the Bee Gees' "Love You Inside Out" from the album Spirits Having Flown, their ninth and final No. 1, making them the most chart-topping act of the 1970s; and Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?", his only No. 1, described by drummer Carmine Appice as a story about a nervy nightclub encounter.
