In the knowledge there will be a new #1 tomorrow from a soundtrack, I’ve made a playlist of songs from the 21st century which have been taken from a soundtrack and reached #1.

 

I would like to run a poll once the new song is crowned #1 tomorrow, but first I need help completing the list, please can someone take a look at the linked Spotify playlist below and advise if there are any other additions I have missed that need to be included as there was a big gap from 2004-2013 where I couldn’t convincingly find any #1s from a soundtrack. I omit managee to find 15 songs in total which is why I’m not certain I have inadvertently missed a few.

Quite surprised to be reminded that Skyfall by Adele was not a UK #1 at the time, and also that no songs from The Greatest Showman made #1 either. :o
