"Antmusic" was the third single released in the UK in 1980 from the Adam and the Ants album Kings of the Wild Frontier. The first single from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier was the title track, making number 48 (although it re-entered the charts in early 1981 peaking at number 2). The follow-up "Dog Eat Dog" made number 4 on the UK charts. "Antmusic" peaked at No. 2 in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon's "Imagine" after his murder in New York City in December 1980.
The music video to "Antmusic" featured the group playing in a discothèque with a giant juke box, and persuading the young audience to turn away from disco music and dance to the new-styled 'Ant-Music'. The music video was directed by Steve Barron.
The single spent five weeks at No. 1 in Australia and earned the band platinum certification for sales of over 100,000. Adam and the Ants toured Australia in 1981 and appeared on influential TV pop show Countdown.
