From Elton John and Billy Joel to Stevie Wonder and Charlie Puth, the piano has become the backbone of some of music’s most popular acts.
The instrument has shown up on a slew of top tracks in genres galore, from R&B and hip-hop to rock and pop, delivering melodies that boast longevity, whether as earworms or hits on the Billboard charts. Take John’s track “Bennie and the Jets,” which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1 in 1974 for a week, and lasted a whopping 18 weeks on the chart in total.
The toe-tapping tune features an iconic staccato jazz-inspired piano melody that you’ll likely recognize instantly, even without John’s vocals. You’ve also got 2013’s “All of Me” by John Legend, which held a peak position of No. 1 for three weeks and spent a total of 59 total weeks on the Hot 100. The piano in the track is soulful and emotional, with a building and flowing chord progression that takes you on a journey.
