"That's Entertainment" is a 1980 song by British punk-mod revivalist group the Jam from their fifth album, Sound Affects.
Although never released as a domestic single in the UK during the band's lifetime, "That's Entertainment" nonetheless charted as an import single (backed by a live version of "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight"), peaking at No. 21.[1] It was given its first full UK release in 1983 and peaked at No. 60. A second reissue in 1991 also made the top 50.[1]
The song remains one of the two all-time biggest selling import singles in the UK, alongside the Jam's "Just Who Is the 5 O'Clock Hero?", which hit the charts at No. 8 as an import in 1982.[1]
"That's Entertainment" has been listed by BBC Radio 2 as the 43rd best song ever released by any artist.[2]
