Unfortunately, it doesn&#8217;t include<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Barbie Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Aqua\u2026 we\u2019re talking about Billie Eilish, Ken himself (Ryan Gosling), Lizzo, Sam Smith, Dual Lipa and so many more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you can\u2019t get enough of songs like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m Just Ken<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pink<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dance the Night<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we highly suggest adding the Barbie movie soundtrack to your playlist!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Top-Gun\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/music\/?keyword=Top%20Gun\">Top Gun<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our eyes, both Top Gun soundtracks without a doubt deserve a place on this list. Where do we even start? The original includes all-time favourites such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Danger Zone<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Kenny Logins, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take My Breath Away<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Berlin and how can we forget\u2026 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great Balls of Fire<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Jerry Lee Lewis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not finished yet!

Set in the 19th century about the start-up of a circus, the soundtrack to this musical is filled with banger after banger. Even if you\u2019re not a fan of musicals, you can\u2019t help but sing along to songs like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is Me<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Now On<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rewrite the Stars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and, of course, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Greatest Show<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Baby-Driver\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/music\/?keyword=Baby%20Driver\">Baby Driver<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for the best songs to listen to on a drive (or a high-speed chase) the soundtrack for Baby Driver is undeniably a great addition to your playlist. Combined with songs from different eras, sit back, put your foot on the accelerator and listen to artists such as Queen, Blur, T-Rex, Simon &amp; Garfunkel and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"The-Lion-King\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/music\/genre\/soundtracks-and-musicals\/?keyword=The%20Lion%20King\">The Lion King<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can always rely on a Disney film for the best songs and The Lion King soundtrack is no exception. Released in 1994, it is classed as one of the all-time best Disney soundtracks and we can\u2019t argue with that! Songs like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Circle of Life<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I Just Can&#8217;t Wait to Be King<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hakuna Matata <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can You Feel the Love Tonight<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, are treasured by all ages and we\u2019re not embarrassed to say we know every word!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Pulp-Fiction\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/music\/?keyword=Pulp%20Fiction\">Pulp Fiction<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be surprised to hear that Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s 1994 hit has its own soundtrack\u2026 but it does. The Pulp Fiction soundtrack has a mixture of everything, from American rock and roll to pop, so if you\u2019re not sure what you fancy, stick it on and listen to a plethora of tunes. Sing along to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Son of a Preacher Man<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lonesome Town<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s Stay Together <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and many more. <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"The-Super-Mario-Bros-Movie\" style=\"text-align: center;\">The Super Mario Bros Movie<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We never thought we would love the movie as much as the game, but guess what? We love the soundtrack even more. The beloved video game characters are brought to life in this animation and the Super Mario Bros Movie soundtrack is a mixture of the character&#8217;s own songs, as well as classics we already know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look forward to Bowser singing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peaches<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Donkey Kong performing the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DK rap<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as well as classics such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thunderstruck<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by AC\/DC and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding Out For a Hero<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Bonnie Tyler.

They\u2019re all sung by the actors in the film, so the majority of the soundtrack is covered by Taron Egerton who plays Elton and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I Want Love<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is covered by Bryce Dallas Howard, Kit Connor, Gemma Jones and Steven Mackintosh.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Moana\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/?keyword=Moana\">Moana<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disney worked their magic again and produced another incredible soundtrack.
