We will always love a film soundtrack. A films’ music can be powerful and can help turn a film into the one that you want. It’s a tale as old as time that a catchy tune or an emotional power ballad can help you have the time of your life when watching a film. Both the score and the songs written for a film have their own categories at award ceremonies, including an Oscar, so kick off your Sunday shoes and enjoy our Top 5 bestselling movie soundtracks. What a feeling!
