Disco Deewane (Urdu: ڈسکو دیوانے) is a 1981 Pakistani pop album released by the Pakistani singing duo, Nazia and Zoheb, comprising Nazia Hassan and Zoheb Hassan, sister and brother respectively.[1] The music was composed by Indian-British music director Biddu,[2] and Zoheb Hassan, who also produced it under the label of HMV India/Saregama.

The album charted in fourteen countries worldwide and became the best-selling Asian pop record to date.[3] The debut album led Nazia Hasan to overnight fame. It changed trends in music across South Asia, where it broke sales records. In India, it sold 100,000 records within a day of its release in Mumbai alone, went Platinum within three weeks,[4][5] and went Double-Platinum soon after.[6]
