What music is played at the disco?
The first disco hit was "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation, closely followed by "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrae, both in 1974. Both songs hit #1 on the Billboard charts and really got the Disco craze going. Interestingly,
Rock Your Baby was written by Howard Casey, who went on to become KC of KC and the Sunshine Band, who had several No. 1 hits and whose sound became synonomous with Disco. Hope this helps.
Because it was the kind of music they played at discos in the 1970s. The word disco (short for discotheque) means a dance club where music is played by a DJ instead of a live band. So, the style of music that was played at 1970s discotheques came to be called "disco music." Probably because of its association with 1970s disco music, hardly anybody uses the word "disco" or "discotheque" anymore to describe those kinds of dance clubs. Most people just call them "nightclubs" or "dance clubs" now.
You know the movie Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta? That's what a disco was. It was a specific kind of music and dancing, in a specific kind of nightclub with lots of colored lights and disco balls. Sort of like a 1970s version of the raves kids go to today (which also feature a specific kind of music and dancing).

What are the main features of disco music?
The heavy kickdrum in simple quadruple time gives a constant rhythm of quarter notes, making it extremely easy for people to catch onto the beat. The usually high vocal and horn parts are very exciting both musically and lyrically and have all the surprises that make music interesting. The thunderous bassline is treated as priority in disco and unlike most music today, lead guitar isn't used because it would compromise the seniority of the bass. Rhythm guitar is used to complicate the musical sound but not keep attention from the simple, steady kickdrum. Rhythm guitar can be thought of as the inner workings of the sound because if it was heard alone it wouldn't make much sense, but hearing it churning with the rest of the parts helps to make sense of the music. Keyboard or fingered electric guitar is often used, but again, always keeps in line with the bass. It adds an interesting, synthesized sound that led to the synthesizer obsession of the 80s.
These are generalities and obviously all of disco cannot have a single answer. But disco mainly keeps priority to the heavy downbeat in 4/4, which nicknamed the meter "four-on-the-floor". Think of it as the dancefloor, if you like.
This is a good example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chic_-_Good_Times.ogg
How many number one hits do the Bee Gees have?
The Bee Gees had nine number 1 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100. This was more than any other group in history except the Beatles (who had 20) and the Supremes (who had 12). Their biggest number one song was "How Deep Is Your Love," which spent three weeks at number one in 1977, but remained on the hot 100 chart for 33 weeks (including 17 weeks in the top ten).
Hard to say where exactly, but it came from the movie Saturday Night Alive and the soundtrack the Bee Gee's made. The image of John Travolta walking down Times Square in his white suit was everywhere.

Well, in the metaphorical sense, a disco stick is a penis. And I think you can figure out the rest. But she actually has a prop called a disco stick and it was used to help her work the stage.

Which artist is an example of someone who was popular for disco?
Donna Sumers, KC and the sunshine band, Bee Gees. Its all about Donna Summers she is the best.
What are the most famous disco singers?
There are a couple of them... - Donna Summer: This lady is like a monster diva (and no, not referring to Aretha Franklin...) but she made it huge with the orgasmic "Love To Love You Baby", the intense "Hot Stuff" and "She Works Hard For the Money", the mountainous if not lyrically silly "MacArthur Park" and disco anthem "Last Dance"; she had about 14 no. 1 hits and well reknowned for her magnificient mezzo-soprano vocal prowess that showcased talent on songs like "MacArthur Park", "Hot Stuff", and "On The Radio." She had a successful 80s career after disco's decline but slipped into the history books by the 90s. - Bee Gees: Well reknowned for the main contributors to the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtracks and for their feminine falsetto/countertenor singing, the Bee Gees are another famous group that were known for their flamboyant star suits and their soft rock feel. - Barry White: This dude's voice was so deep that I think it rattled my houses walls at one point! Barry White only had six number one hits but his voice is well known every- where in the world. And he was cruelly labeled "The Walrus of Love" due to his obese status and his overtly sexual monologues during his steamier songs. - ABBA: The ones behind "Dancing Queen", "The Winner Takes It All", and "Mamma Mia"; ABBA was more EuroPop than disco singers but it was hard not to 'jive' to their trademark songs even if they failed to make it big in America. - Gloria Gaynor: She is known for that one song, a woman's anthem and you guessed it, "I Will Survive." This was her biggest hits and while she came out with a handful of Top 20 hits, this song was her limelight moment. - LaBelle: Face it, everybody knows Patti LaBelle and while her band LaBelle did not make it real big before Patti had a monstrous solo career filled with quiet storm/soul hits, that one song "Lady Marmalade" is always gonna have that enchanting if not intense vibe to it and should always be mentioned in a paper on the whole disco fad. - Grace Jones: At one point called "The Queen of Gay Discos" due to her extremely masculine appearance and contralto voice. She tended to not dress up when she performed, instead performing in polygon shapes and neon paint that would cover her vital areas. Her "costumes" are ones good to wonder if Lady GaGa was influenced by such. While Grace never did make it huge with only 3-4 number one hits, she is better known as the femme fatale May Day in the grossly underrated Bond movie "A View To A Kill." Hopefully, this helped. Other mentions should include Thelma Houston, The Jacksons and Sylvester.
