Soundtrack #1 Before Movie Released

The soundtrack to Twilight, an upcoming teen vampire romance flick, debuted #1 on The Billlboard 200. This is the first soundtrack to hit #1 before the movie opens since 8 Mile starring Eminem. The 8 Mile soundtrack hit #1 five days before the movie opened.


It's only happened 5 other times:

1. Private Parts - 1997, hit #1 five days before the movie opened.
2. Murder Was The Case - 1994, hit #1 four months before the movie opened.
3. That's The Way Of The World - 1975, hit #1 one month before "Earth, Wind & Fire" opened.
4. A Hard Day's Night - 1964, hit #1 two weeks before the movie opened.
5. Show Boat - 1951, hit #1 six weeks before the movie opened.

this movie looks like crap, but it's gonna be #1 at the box office.

I heard from someone that the books are overrated. I haven't actually read any though.
