NOTE: This chart was comiled EXCLUSIVELY for us here at Forgotten Hits by chart statistician Randy Price, ranking of the Top 50 Instrumental Hits, 1955 - 1979, based on a COMBINED ranking of the Billboard and Cash Box Charts for this period. As noted by Billboard Chart Guru Joel Whitburn, NOTHING post-1985 would have made the 'All Time' List anyway! Thanks, Randy! let me know if you want me to go outside the time period stated - I could go back as far as 1950 and forward as far as 1992, although I don't think there have been any instrumentals that would qualify since 1986.ġ955 - 1979, the time period normally associated with Forgotten Hits, will be fine. I could put together a list from my annual charts compiled from Billboard and Cash Box data. I'm finding that there are quite a few (particularly lower charting records) that aren't available on CD, or what is are not the single versions.īut to answer your question: Since by 'All-Time' I assume you mean the usual time period of 1955-1979, that would preclude using 'SuperChart' data specifically, since they go back only to 1960 (so far). I've been working on compiling a list of sources for a planned set of CDs that will include every instrumental to make the Hot 100 during the '60s (more than 560 songs, on 23 CDs).
