Any idea how the original Soundtrack ranked. That one was way better.

Aria charts do not have the data for anything past the early 1990's.

I'm impressed with it actually getting in the top 50 at all. There wasn't really any stand-out tracks in the film that made it into the soundtrack.

The best song clips were used by Bumblebee to get Mikhaela and Sam uncomfortable, yet none made the album.

Then again, look at the crap that is ahead of the Transformers album (including 2 Hillsong albums!) and it starts to make sense.

I'm a grumpy old man trapped in a grumpy young man's body.

And by the by, Hillsong CD's sell well, because album sales at concerts (the weekly ones in Norwest, as well as the bigger ones) are counted as normal sales charts, where any other band/group/artist cannot have their sales at concerts counted.

Good news everybody!

Unless your name is i_amtrunks or Spanky, in which case I recommend you NOT read any further.

The Transformers soundtrack has moved up 5 spots this week to number 33 on the Australian Aria charts.

See above link for the proof.

Not bad.

Guess the fact it has actually appeared in stores helped a bit!
