Was checking the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts. For the week ending Jan 31st, the soundtrack of SdM was one of the bigger risers and moved up 39 spots from No 55 to No 16. This, unfortunately, was as high as the soundtrack could get and two weeks later is howevering in the low 20s now. Hopefully, once ARR wins the Oscars for the best soundtrack (I really do hope he does win!), the soundtrack will once again go up the charts.
