At the Hop also hit number one on the R B Best Sellers list. Somewhat more surprisingly, the record reached, 3 on the Music Vendor country charts. It was also a big hit elsewhere, which included a number 3 placing on the UK charts. The song returned to prominence after it was performed by rock and roll revival act Sha Na Na at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and featured in the 1973 comingofage teen comedy American Graffiti. Musically, it is notable for combining several of the most popular formulas in 1950s rock n roll, the twelvebar blues, boogiewoogie piano, and the 50s progression.
