As evidence of the show's power and popularity, the soundtrack hit #1 on the U.S. The Miami Vice Soundtrack and the single "Miami Vice Theme" were released in October of 1985.

It is reported that the "Miami Vice Theme" was originally something Hammer had been just experimenting with on a sequencer, trying to get something that felt rhythmic and driving.
