Leading artists from the punk scene enjoyed continued and renewed success, including The Stranglers, The Clash and Pretenders, whilst Foreigner and Steve Miller Band provided radio-favourite rock and power ballads. 1982 saw a huge chart presence for dance music - from hi-NRG to electro-infused beats to 1980's disco, alongside soul classics from Marvin Gaye and a return to the charts for Dionne Warwick.
