"Shut Up And Dance" by American indie rock band Walk The Moon debuts at no.10 this week. The band derives their name from the song 'Walking On The Moon' by Police (1979).

His girlfriend invited him to dance, inspring the title, which he envisioned as an anthem for letting go of frustration and having fun.
