Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, becomes the third Star Wars
soundtrack to debut in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart - a new record.
Previously, two Star Wars soundtracks held that distinction in a three-way tie
with the two Spider Man soundtracks and two American Idol soundtrack
collections. This
extends a pop chart album record, long held by the Star Wars series, among
film and TV soundtracks - with the exception of Star Wars: Episode VI Revenge
of the Jedi (originally released in 1983), all of the Star Wars soundtracks
have made the top 10.sonyclassical. All
