The Sountracks

The soundtracks (and scores) to the movies were extremely popular companions to the movie. On the first week that the Twilight soundtrack came out, it debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold 165,000 copies (29% digital). For New Moon, Hot Topic hosted New Moon soundtrack “listening parties” before the soundtrack ever came out as a marketing technique. It sold 153,000 copies in its first week. Eclipse sold $146,000 copies in the first week. Eclipse didn’t perform as well chart-wise. Breaking Dawn Part 1 sold $105,000 copies in the first week and received more unfavorable reviews.
