This topic may have been made before idk but with Walking With Elephants rightfully smashing plus Bullit probably going to be a future hit, it is quite rare for a chart hit to be fully instrumental.
can you name some? Martin Garrix's chart hits do not count by the way as they all have at least 1 spoken word in them. The obvious two are Stranger on the Shore and Eye Level which both sold a million copies but surely there are more recent examples? |

We had two French instrumentals in the top 10 at the same time in 1977
"Magic Fly" by Space and "Oxygene" by Jean-Michel Jarre. Pigbag had four instrumental hits, including the superb "Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag" I'll leave others for somebody else to get. |

Daft Punk's first top 10 hit "Da Funk" has some muffled speaking at the start but no clear words I think. That went to #7 in 1997, and 8 months earlier, the two guys from U2 that aren't Bono & The Edge also went to #7 with the theme to Mission Impossible.

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo and Chicane - Poppiholla spring to mind, both Top 10 hits within the last 6 or 7 years!
Also, I believe Escala - Palladio charted, if I remember rightly? Loved that song when it was performed on BGT. |

Nearly all The Shadows' hits were instrumentals.
We shouldn't forget the wonderful Nut Rocker by B Bumble and the Stingers and two versions of part of Mozart's 40th symphony by Waldo de los Rios and Sovereign Collection. |

There are a lot of tracks that you think are fully instrumental, but have one word in them |
