Disco?  "Running Up That Hill" is the first dance song she ever did.
She became famous world-wide (except in North America) at the age of 19
upon the release of her very first single, "Wuthering Heights" in
January 1978.  This was followed by the hits "The Man With The Child In
His Eyes" (May 1978), "Wow" (March 1979), "Them Heavy People" (September
1979), "Breathing" (April 1980), "Babooshka" (June 1980), "Army
Dreamers" (September 1980), "Sat In Your Lap" (June 1981), "Running Up
That Hill" (August 1985), and "Cloudbusting" (October 1985).

Her only hit in North America to date is "Running Up That Hill", though
"The Man With The Child In His Eyes" made it up to 85 or so, and
sometimes you might hear it on (blech) "Beautiful Music" stations....
