Soundtrack by Greek electronic composer and artist Vangelis (credited as Vangelis Papathanassiou) for the British film Chariots of Fire, which won four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Original Music Score.Although an electronic score might be considered ill-suited to a period piece, it worked beyond anyone's expectations. The album topped Billboard Top 200 for 4 weeks and the opening theme of the film (called "Titles" on the album track listing but widely known as "Chariots of Fire") was released as a single in 1982 and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for one week after climbing steadily for five months (it made #1 in its 21st week on the chart). "Titles" also reached #12 in Britain, where its parent album peaked at #5 and spent 107 weeks on the album chart. The single also peaked at #21 in Australian on the Australian Singles Chart (Kent Music Report)
