Barbie movie soundtrack breaks UK chart record
Barbie has already become the biggest box office hit, and now its soundtrack has conquered the UK music charts too. Tracks by Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Nicki Minaj have quietly entered the top five since the pink-coloured blockbuster’sÉxito de taquilla release. Bosses of the Official Singles Chart say it is the first time three tracks from a soundtrack have simultaneouslySimultáneamente reached the top five. But they were not the only songs from the all-star album to hit the chart. The film soundtrack made history with six tracks in the top 40.
Some of pop’s biggest names were behind the soundtrack’s pink hits, so you might think that recruitingReclutar/Contratar such an impressive team must have been hard work, but reading the statement the film’s music supervisor, George Drakoulias, made for BBC’s Newsbeat radio programme will prove the opposite. “Nobody said no (everybody was really excited),” George commented. That, of course, included two stars at the top of George’s wish list, Nicki Minaj and Lizzo, along with superstar pop songwriter and producer Mark Ronson.
George Drakoulias claims he engaged Mark Ronson in the project with a simple text message: “Hey Barbie?” “He called me right back and we sent him a scriptGuion. That just started the ball rolling. Mark ended up producing the soundtrack, composing the score and writing the closing song, Dance the Night, with Dua Lipa,” George explained.
The soundtrack has also played a big part in Barbie’s massive marketing campaign. A few songs from the 17-track album, including Dua Lipa’s Dance the Night, were released before the film came out. That served to fuel excitement for the movie. “It was a perfect symbioticSimbiótica / Mutuamente beneficiosa relationship of the music driving the movie and the movie driving the music,” George explains.
As soon as people left the movie theatres, they went out and got the album. Physical copies of the soundtrack, this being Barbie, are available in “cotton candy” vinyl and on transparentTransparentes pink cassette tapes.
George says he is very proud of the album and its success in the charts. He refuses to reveal his favourite track. Yet, he admits Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For impressed him. “The singer was shown just 25 minutes of the film and managed to take what she had seen and encapsulateResumir/Encapsular it into this heartbreaking song of being a woman”.
