EW.COM: ‘TWILIGHT’ SOUNDTRACK MOVING BACK UP THE CHARTS
March 26th, 2009
The ‘Twilight’ soundtrack has been making a jump back into the top of the music charts. EW.com looks for the reason why:
The Twilight soundtrack has been languishing toward the bottom of the Billboard 200’s top 20 for some time now — only to leap back with preternatural speed and agility to No. 3 this week. How’d it swing that? First, a special edition of the soundtrack came out, with bonus goodies including a live clip of that one Iron & Wine song, the music video for Paramore’s “Decode,” an interview with Paramore singer Hayley Williams, and, er, a “Beyond the Video” clip for Paramore’s “Decode.” Oh, and Twilight the movie came out on DVD over the weekend. Those two factors combined were enough to persuade 74,000 fans to buy the soundtrack for the first, second, or Nth time, according to Nielsen SoundScan, beating out everyone else last week but Kelly Clarkson (at No. 1 with 90,000) and U2 (at No. 2)

I’m not surprised the soundtrack is back up on the charts at all. People continue to seriously underestimate the power of Twilighters, haha.
Are you surprised the ‘Twilight’ soundtrack is doing so well again? Are you buying the special edition?

its to be expected it would rise in sales again, once the product was available. it has been sold out in my area for months. on order, but it took this long to restock.
Good for them! I’m glad its doing well again! But, I will not be purchasing the Special Edition. I hope the New Moon soundtrack will be just as good. This soundtrack opened me up to a lot of new (new to me) artists that I now LOVE!
The soundtrack was awesome!!
