A faixa foi gravada quando Althea Forrest e Donna Reid tinham 17 e 18 anos, respectivamente, e surgiu como uma brincadeira.
A canção usa os ad-libs dos dois cantores sobre a batida de deejay “Three Piece Suit” de Trinity.
O disco foi tocado por acidente pelo DJ britânico John Peel na BBC Radio 1, o que gerou pedidos de repetição.
O apoio de Peel, aliado a uma apresentação no programa “Top of the Pops”, impulsionou a música a alcançar o número 1 no UK Singles Chart em fevereiro de 1978.
“Uptown Top Ranking” foi incluída no álbum homônimo de 1977, que marcou o lançamento da dupla no cenário internacional.
