All vikisGrease Soundtrack
On the charts: Billboard 200, Aug 19, 1978
The Grease soundtrack (1978) in full, all 24 songs from Grease to the end-credits reprise, 1 hour 4 minutes, each playing from its first second, with one measured highlight. Certified 13 times Platinum, it is the longest track list of the song-led albums here.
We rate the Grease soundtrack S tier, and we think it is the most generous album of the ten song-led soundtracks here: 24 tracks, more than any of the others, and very little filler for a record that long. Under the song-led rule it earns S twice over. The latest of its sales awards, 13 times Platinum, came on Dec 6, 2024, 46 years after the album (RIAA, read Nov 11, 2026). And its songs are still staged: Grease the Musical, directed by Nikolai Foster, returned to the Dominion in London's West End from Jun 2 to Oct 28, 2023 (BroadwayWorld, Dec 13, 2022), the latest professional run we could confirm.
This is You're the One That I Want, sung by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, track 4 and one of three songs the two leads share on the album. The RIAA's record names RSO as the label; all 24 tracks together play for 1 hour 3 minutes 37 seconds.
Ten weeks from entry to No. 1
No. 53 was where it started, on the Billboard 200 of May 20, 1978. It climbed for ten weeks, took No. 1 on Jul 29, and had four weeks on top by the Aug 19, 1978 list. Travolta's other hit soundtrack, Saturday Night Fever, had gone to No. 1 six months earlier, on the chart dated Jan 21, 1978 (Billboard).
Twenty-four tracks, told by who sings them
Travolta and Newton-John sing on seven tracks between them, the title song is Frankie Valli's and comes twice (first and last), and Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee comes twice too, first sung by Stockard Channing and then as Newton-John's short reprise. The middle of the album, tracks 11 to 16, belongs to Sha-Na-Na: six rock and roll songs in a row, Blue Moon to Tears on My Pillow. James Getzoff's Love Is a Many Splendored Thing is the shortest track at 1:23, and Born to Hand Jive is the longest at 4:40.
Highlights
One moment survived the measurement Vi.ki ran on these uploads on Nov 11, 2026 (how it works): the saxophone entry in Alone at a Drive-In Movie, the clearest instrument entry the classifier heard on any of the song-led albums. No track's loudest stretch reached the 6 decibels a climax needs, and the drum and backing-vocal entries it reported in the title song, Greased Lightnin' and elsewhere were too weak or too likely to be wrong to keep.
All tracks
Universal Music Group uploaded every one of the 24, and they are listed here as the album runs. A song is a video of its own, so Play starts it at 0:00.
