“I Miss When Movies Were Paired With Hit Singles!”

[BlackBall]

There used to be movie soundtracks that were legit classic albums.

The Crow soundtrack is amazing, perfect fit for the darkness off the film

 

[mbewane]

Damn near forgot about the strength of those soundtracks. As a kid/teenager growing up in Africa and Europe, funny thing is that most times I would only see the movies years after listening to the soundtrack (if ever, I've still never seen Sunset Park or The Show for example smh). I haven't listened to a full soundrack in ages.

I'll just add that using Something in the Way for The Batman was a great choice.

[2 Up 2 Down]

:banderas: Buying cd's from Blockbuster for one song. Old school shyt.

[MaxBundles]

I swear.... the late 90s/early 2000s were the greatest time to be alive
So fortunate I grew up in that era

[KillerPups]

i remembet this song being an event bigger than the whale

 

[CodeKansas]

"Well I guess we're gooooon-na have to taaaaake connnnntroooollll."

"All on our ooooooooooooooooon!"

"Too hot to handle. Too cold to hold. They called the Ghostbusters and they're in control!"

 

[The_Sheff]

I think the last time I really remember a movie and a song hitting in tandem was 50 shades of gray and the weekend.

Am I tripping?

That Shakira song “Zoo” with Zootopia 2 is everywhere.

You really just see the music tie ins with kids movies now n

 

[Jaguar93]

Yeah animated movies for the most part still does this. Just look at Moana, Spider-Verse, KPop Demon Hunters, Encanto, etc.

[Dem313wayz]

Is Wiz Khalifa - See You Again the last song for a movie that was a hit?



There was Sunflower with Swae Lee and Post Malone.



Those gotta be the last two.

I always forget about this song. Wiz gonna be paid 4 life off this song

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Kendrick did it with Black Panther
All three singles were hits.

I forgot about this

I actually liked a lot of the songs on this soundtrack.


But I agree with the op and the entire thread. Blockbuster movies used to have blockbuster soundtracks that accompanied it. Even the Disney/Children's movies had it, sung by real artists.

Everything now is just stale and weird… just recently too
