It's 30 years since the release of 'This is the Way', fourth single to be released from Dannii's 'Get Into You'. It reached #27 in the UK and #45 in Australia.

I do not remember this release at all at the time!

Promotion must of been really poor. Like for most of the album!

Dont mind the song, it is a good vocal! However far from my favourite.

Extended mix of this is just glorious wub.gif

I think it's a fairly underrated single in her discography, actually!

Was gutted this ‘flopped’ at the time - I was sure after the success of TII that this would follow suit and at least be a Top 15 hit, I’m sure MCA didn’t know what to do next after this faltered.

Its not one of her worst singles by any means and i think for me the chorus just lacked the punch to make the song stand out.

A fresh beefed up production would be cool for this.

I think most of the songs from the album need beefing up as it might help make them more memorable as I think uts an album that just doesn't go anywhere.

I have to agree that a lot of the songs sound very flat and basic (even for that era). Strange as that album was the most expensive album to make, but yet sounded so dated when it came out.

Yes it always sounded dated and flat and really killed the momentum from what she previously achieved, this album was the one she needed to propell herself more but if anything it did alot damage to her music career.
