Barbie movie soundtrack breaks UK Singles Chart record
Tracks from Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice are all currently in the top five of the UK charts
The soundtrack for the new Barbie movie has made UK Singles Chart history by landing three top five songs at the same time.
‘Barbie: The Album’ was released on 21st July to accompany the Greta Gerwig-directed movie. From the soundtrack, Billie Eilish’s ‘What Was I Made For?’ placed number three in the UK charts this week, while Dua Lipa’s ‘Dance The Night’ is currently at number four, and in fifth position is the rework of Aqua’s ‘Barbie World’ by American rappers, Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice.
Also featured in the UK Top 40 are ‘Speed Drive’ by PC Music affiliate Charlie XCX (at number 19), Lizzo’s ‘Pink’ (at number 39), and ‘I'm Just Ken’, which is performed by American actor Ryan Gosling in the movie (at number 25).
The first film soundtrack to score three simultaneous Top 10s was Saturday Night Fever in 1978, with the disco-themed hits, ‘Night Fever’, ‘If I Can’t Have You’, and ‘More Than A Woman’ — which was reworked in 2021 by English producer, SG Lewis on his ‘Paradise Edit’.
