Mike Oldfield - In Dulce Jubilo was an instrumental top 5 hit in the 70s, was probably the only ever charting instrumental Christmas-themed song unless I'm missing something.

If by hit you're counting the whole Top 40 (or 75) then there were loads of trance tracks in the 90s/early 00s. To name just a few off the top of my head...
Veracocha - Carte Blanche Ayla - Ayla Chicane - Sunstroke System F - Out Of The Blue |

Also, I believe Escala - Palladio charted, if I remember rightly? Loved that song when it was performed on BGT. Yep, it scraped in at #39! I love classical crossover, they did a great job with their rendition, I agree! All the other examples I was going to post here have already been said. OH apart from Samim - Heater making it to #12 in 2007 as well. |

Sasha & Emerson - Scorchio (2000)
Rank 1 - Airwave (2000) Armin van Buuren - Communication (2000) Gouryella - Gouryella (1999) Da Hool - Meet Her at the Love Parade (1998/2001) Dutch Force - Deadline (2000) Quite a lot of trance, I guess that's because that genre is less keen on vocal samples. And let's not forget: John Cage - 4"33 (2010) |

Instrumental hits that have reached #1 (* = is regarded as instrumental but does contain a few words):
Mantovani - The Song From The Moulin Rouge Eddie Calvert - Oh Mein Papa* Winifred Atwell - Let's Have Another Party Perez Prado - Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White Eddie Calvert - Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White Winifred Atwell - Poor People Of Paris Lord Rockingham's XI - Hoots Mon* Russ Conway - Side Saddle Russ Conway - Roulette Shadows - Apache Floyd Cramer - On The Rebound Shadows - Kon-Tiki Shadows - Wonderful Land B Bumble & The Stingers - Nut Rocker Tornados - Telstar Shadows - Dance On! Jet Harris & Tony Meehan - Diamonds Shadows - Foot Tapper Hugo Montenegro - The Good The Bad And The Ugly (has some grunting noises but no actual words) Fleetwood Mac - Albatross Pipes & Drums & Military Band Of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - Amazing Grace Lieutenant Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough* Simon Park Orchestra - Eye Level Doop - Doop* Mr Oizo - Flat Beat* Martin Garrix - Animals* There are also other instrumentals that reached #1 but whose popularity was due to a vocal version/re-mix of the song e.g. Groovejet, Lola's Theme. Other relatively recent instrumentals that have not been mentioned: Steve Mac - Paddy's Revenge (entered the chart on this day in 2008) Alter Ego - Rocker Interestingly, if a strict definition is taken (i.e. no vocals at all), then since the last instrumental #1 in 1973 there have been 12 instrumentals that have reached #2: Space - Magic Fly Emerson Lake & Palmer - Fanfare For The Common Man Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band - Floral Dance Ennio Morricone - Chi Mai Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Hooked On Classics Tweets - The Birdie Song Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme Perez Prado - Guaglione Robert Miles - Children Mark Snow - X Files Eric Prydz - Pjanoo This post has been edited by paulgilb: 15th September 2014, 10:13 PM |

Who considers "Doop" an instrumental? The whole song was chuck full of "doopy-doop" vocals
