American Jukebox™

With Garrett Stack
Not a Word was Spoken
Instrumentals used to to be a big part of the Hot-100. Throughout the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s they ruled. Then they vanished.
Hundreds of instrumentals became huge hits on Billboard's Hot-100 from the '50s through the '80s. Many of them reached #1, many others hit the top-10, and hundreds more entered the Top-40. Some have become classic while others are long forgotten. But what they all share is that Americans bought them in droves.
Themes written for movies and television provided several memorable tunes. Others came from creative minds that would come up with a lick or two and suddenly they had a chart topper. Classical music also influenced many a top hit.
On this edition of American Jukebox, 37 instrumental hits from the late '50s through the '80s are featured. And remember, not a word was spoken!
