The Hollywood Musicals is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis and American composer/conductor Henry Mancini that was released on October 17, 1986,[1] by Columbia Records. This project heralded Mathis's return to the genre of traditional pop, which he would revisit occasionally over the next few decades.

The album peaked at number 46 during an eight-week run on the UK album chart that began on December 13 of that year[4] and received Silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry for sales of 60,000 units in the UK.[5] It also spent two weeks on Billboard magazine's Top Pop Albums chart in January 1987 and made it to number 197.[6]
