THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON–ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK” rises to #1 this week on the Billboard 200, its first full week in stores and online. Despite the soundtrack being released four days earlier than scheduled, it made an impressive debut last week at #2 on the chart after an abbreviated week at retail. This marks the first time ever that a soundtrack and its sequel have both reached the #1 spot on the Billboard 200. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON is slated to open in theatres nationwide on November 20th.
The musical companion to the highly anticipated second installment in Summit Entertainment’s film franchise features new tracks from some of modern music’s most gifted and admired artists, including Thom Yorke, Muse, The Killers, Bon Iver & St. Vincent, and Death Cab for Cutie, who contributed the album’s first single, “Meet Me On the Equinox.” The track is currently #14 at Modern Rock radio.
