Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) is a song by the English new wave band Spandau Ballet, released on 10 July 1981 as the first single from their upcoming second album, Diamond. The band's guitarist/songwriter, Gary Kemp, wanted to pay homage to the latest London hotspot, Le Beat Route, by emulating the funk music that was popular there and even using the club as the location for the music video, the 7-inch single became their third top ten hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, the remix included on the 12-inch single of "Chant No. 1" got as high as number 17 on Billboard magazine's Disco Top 100.
