September 10, 20213 yr Hurray! A bunch of great songs from the ones I know, and a couple of epics, as well as a number of interesting looking ones.
September 10, 20213 yr Author Hopefully this contest will encourage a little more enthusiasm in time. I think this is a great second edition with lots of well known artists featuring with lesser known tracks. It is a tricky one to call, because I am not sure how people will vote, but I imagine the likes of Lorde, Will Ferrell & My Marianne, Imagine Dragons and Alanis Morissette to do quite well. Would a listenthrough next Tuesday evening suit most people who wish to attend?
September 10, 20213 yr Lol my first idea of a song to send to this was 'Dead Air' by CHVRCHES but I thought that was a little too uninspired - turns out someone else sent an even more obvious song from the same film :')
September 10, 20213 yr I wasn’t sure what to expect from this contest, I feel like my entry may finish last but it’s very special to me so I’m glad I sent it :wub:
September 10, 20213 yr I definitely know more of these than I was expecting :lol: should be good quality!

Looks a great line up (although in no way was Suspiria a blockbuster x :kink:)
September 11, 20213 yr Hiipe! Not sure all of these are blockbusters but it looks like a nice and varied listen through. I think I can possibly make Tuesday evening if it doesn't start too late!

September 16, 20213 yr Just for fun, here's a look at how much each movie made WorldWide: $1,104,054,072 Imagine Dragons – Battle Cry (from the movie Transformers: Age Of Extinction) $947,495,095 Emilíana Torrini – Gollum’s Song (from the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers) $755,356,711 Lorde – Yellow Flicker Beat (from the movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1) $466,364,845 The Prodigy – Mindfields (from the movie The Matrix) $461,991,867 Rascal Flatts – Life Is A Highway (from the movie Cars) $346,864,886 Anna Kendrick – Get Back Up Again (from the movie Trolls) $333,011,068 k.d.Lang – Surrender (from the movie Tomorrow Never Dies) $229,147,509 Wolf Alice – Ghoster (from the movie Ghostbusters) $220,021,259 Hans Zimmer – Beauty Awakens The Soul To Act (from the movie Inferno) $198,685,114 Alanis Morissette – Uninvited (from the movie City Of Angels) $48,451,803 Aimee Mann – Wise Up (from the movie Magnolia) $43,101,594 The Move – Feel So Good (from the movie Boogie Nights) $40,508,994 Robbie Robb – In Time (from the movie Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure) $38,826,855 21 Savage – Spiral (from the movie The Book of Saw) $19,370,020 Handsome Poets – Sky On Fire (from the movie The Edge Of Seventeen) $16,444,137 Utada Hikaru – Beautiful World (from the movie Evangelion 1.0 - You Are (Not) Alone) $7,942,093 Thom Yorke – Unmade (from the movie Suspiria) N/A - Netflix release but was pretty big! Will Ferrell & My Marianne – Husavik (My Hometown) (from the movie Eurovision - The Story of Fire Saga) Some of those lower down did some GREAT numbers especially considering some were either limited releases or big indie flicks. Also, some did great numbers comparatively to it's budget etc.. Although I was shocked to learn that LOTR didn't hit $1bn!
September 16, 20213 yr Good idea to compare them. There's a couple of exceptions but most of these are movies that made a ton of money and were initially very well-received (as opposed to cult classics, which is what I avoided when choosing). It's a good set of songs, I'll be voting tomorrow.
