abstract | - Miami Vice (often called Miami Vice I to distinguish it from the show itself and subsequent releases) was the first soundtrack containing popular music from Miami Vice, released in 1985. It contains a selection of music from Season 1 and Season 2 of the show. When released it enjoyed huge success, bolstered by the "Miami Vice Theme" and "You Belong To The City", which reached #1 and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. The album spent 11 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, a record for a TV soundtrack that still stands. It was also the biggest selling TV soundtrack until High School Musical broke that record in 2006. Due to the album's immense success, it was followed by Miami Vice II in 1986 and Miami Vice III in 1988.
