What Oscar-winning soundtrack tune was the first number one instrumental in the 80's?

I would have to say Chariots of Fire by Vangelis, it won best score in 1981 and was the #12 song on billboards top 100 of 1982. I have the billboard information here at home so I can't back it up with a website. http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv and id=1800046058 and cf=awards Jul 02 02, 12:32 AM
