Last year, Charli XCX had a #1 pop airplay hit with "Boom Clap", it was from the soundtrack to "The Fault In Our Stars".
Currently on the rise, and likely to go top 40, is Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do" from "Fifty Shades Of Grey".

Soundtrack hits (finally!) are coming back to the charts. I have always liked it when movies and Top 40 music crossed path.

Wouldn't a soundtrack hit be only that if it was written specifically for a movie, rather than just being "in" the movie? I don't know much about 50 Shades, but was Love Me Like You Do written specifically for the soundtrack? Is there a soundtrack album officially? |

50 Shades Of Grey does have a soundtrack album. It was released just recently.

If "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa f/Charlie Puth hits the Top 40, it's from "Furious 7."

Did Shakira's "Try Everything" from Disney's Zootopia and/or Meagan Trainor's "Better When I'm Dancing" from The Peanuts Movie ever make Ryan Seacrest's AT40 charts?

Most soundtrack albums I see these days, if they contain pop songs at all, are essentially compilation albums with songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and maybe the 90's. I think the true hey-day of the soundtrack album that produced hit singles began with Saturday Night Fever, and ended sometime around Dirty Dancing (which was itself mostly a compilation of hits from previous years). I thought I'd share with all of you something I just submitted by e-mail this week to Lou Simon at Talk Talk on SiriusXM. Another listener had noticed that, on the Hot 100 for the week of 10/4/80, there were four movie songs within the top 10: "Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon from One Trick Pony at #6, "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins from Caddyshack at #8, "Lookin' for Love" by Johnny Lee from Urban Cowboy at #9, and the title track from Xanadu by Olivia and ELO at #10. It turned out there was a fifth movie song in that top 10 -- "Drivin' My Life Away" by Eddie Rabbitt from Roadie at #5. Lou wanted to know whether that was an all-time record. I did the research, and sure enough, it was. Here are all the instances of four or more movie soundtrack songs in a single week's top 10: September 9, 1978 | #4 | "Hopelessly Devoted to You" | Olivia Newton-John | Grease | | #6 | "Grease" | Frankie Valli | Grease | | #8 | "Summer Nights" | John Travolta and ONJ | Grease | | #10 | "Got to Get You into My Life" | Earth, Wind & Fire | Sgt. Pepper |
September 13 and 20, 1980 | #4 / #4 | "Fame" | Irene Cara | Fame | | #7 / #7 | "Late in the Evening" | Paul Simon | One Trick Pony | | #8 / #5 | "Lookin' for Love" | Johnny Lee | Urban Cowboy | | #10 / #8 | "Drivin' My Life Away" | Eddie Rabbitt | Roadie |

October 4, 1980 | #5 | "Drivin' My Life Away" | Eddie Rabbitt | Roadie | | #6 | "Late in the Evening" | Paul Simon | One Trick Pony | | #8 | "I'm Alright" | Kenny Loggins | Caddyshack | | #9 | "Lookin' for Love" | Johnny Lee | Urban Cowboy | | #10 | "Xanadu" | ONJ / ELO | Xanadu |
October 11, 1980 | #5 | "Drivin' My Life Away" | Eddie Rabbitt | Roadie | | #6 | "Late in the Evening" | Paul Simon | One Trick Pony | | #7 | "I'm Alright" | Kenny Loggins | Caddyshack | | #8 | "Xanadu" | ONJ / ELO | Xanadu |
May 5 and 12, 1984 | #1 / #2 | "Against All Odds" | Phil Collins | Against All Odds | | #4 / #8 | "Footloose" | Kenny Loggins | Footloose | | #5 / #5 | "Love Somebody" | Rick Springfield | Hard to Hold | | #9 / #4 | "Let's Hear It for the Boy" | Deniece Williams | Footloose |

September 14, 1985 | #1 | "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" | John Parr | St. Elmo's Fire | | #2 | "We Don't Need Another Hero" | Tina Turner | Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome | | #5 | "The Power of Love" | Huey Lewis & the News | Back to the Future | | #10 | "Invincible" | Pat Benatar | The Legend of Billie Jean |

August 8, 1987 | #2 | "I Want Your Sex" | George Michael | Beverly Hills Cop II | | #3 | "Shakedown" | Bob Seger | Beverly Hills Cop II | | #7 | "Who's That Girl" | Madonna | Who's That Girl | | #8 | "Cross My Broken Heart" | Jets | Beverly Hills Cop II |
August 15, 1987 | #2 | "Who's That Girl" | Madonna | Who's That Girl | | #3 | "I Want Your Sex" | George Michael | Beverly Hills Cop II | | #5 | "La Bamba" | Los Lobos | La Bamba | | #8 | "Cross My Broken Heart" | Jets | Beverly Hills Cop II |
So Michael, the statistics definitely support your point. Saturday Night Fever through Dirty Dancing -- late '70s to late '80s -- was the peak time for movie music on the charts! |
