Week Ending Nov. 9, 2008: The Vampire That Rocked The Chart

The soundtrack to the upcoming teen vampire romance Twilight debuts at #1 on The Billboard 200. Twilight is the first soundtrack to hit #1 in advance of the movie’s release since 8 Mile six years ago….

The Twilight soundtrack features two songs by Paramore plus songs by such other acts as Linkin Park, Collective Soul and Perry Farrell. Twilight is the first rock-oriented soundtrack to hit #1 since Armageddon rang the bell in its second week in 1998….

Twilight is the third movie soundtrack to hit #1 so far this year, following Juno and Mamma Mia! This is the first year in which three movie soundtracks have gone all the way since 1998, when Titanic, City Of Angels and Armageddon all rang the bell.

Twilight is the first movie soundtrack to debut at #1 since Jack Johnson’s Curious George did it in 2006. It’s the first rock-oriented movie soundtrack to debut at #1 since Private Parts in 1997. Only four other movie soundtracks-Murder Was The Case, Gridlock’d, 8 Mile and Bad Boys-have opened in the lead position.

Robert Pattinson, who plays the vampire in Twilight, has one song, “Never Think,” on the soundtrack. Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who plays the heroine Bella, appear on the cover of the current issue of Entertainment Weekly. The movie, due Nov. 21, is based on Stephanie Meyer’s popular series of books. The books have been best-sellers, the CD is #1. Does any one doubt that the movie will be a smash?

Here’s the low-down on this week’s top 10 albums.

1. Various Artists, Twilight soundtrack, 165,000. More than 48,000 copies were sold digitally, making this the week’s #1 Digital Album. That’s the biggest digital tally ever for a movie soundtrack. Paramore’s “Decode” enters Hot Digital Songs at #18.

I rarely buy full albums of any music, let alone a a soundtrack to a movie. But I had to purchase it after I heard Paramore’s Decode. Also, I was very curious about Bella’s Lullaby. So short story long, I love the Twilight soundtrack.
iTunes adds on some bonus tracks and the digital booklet which made it worth it to purchase the OST online vs. in-store.
