"Mamma Mia!" Soundtrack Reaches Top of Billboard Chart

By Andrew Gans
13 Aug 2008


The soundtrack for the hit film "Mamma Mia!" — based on the long-running musical of the same name — is currently in the number one spot on Billboard's Top 200 Chart.

The Decca CD, according to Variety, has now sold 576,000 copies. The recording was also certified platinum Aug. 13. (Platinum status is based on units shipped — over 1,000,000 — not sales.)

The soundtrack, which arrived in stores July 8, is also in the top position on the Billboard Soundtrack Chart for the fourth consecutive week.

The complete track listing for "Mamma Mia!" follows:
"Honey, Honey" (Amanda Seyfried, Ashley Lilley & Rachel McDowall)
"Money, Money, Money" (Meryl Streep, Julie Walters & Christine Baranski)
"Mamma Mia" (Meryl Streep)
"Dancing Queen" (Meryl Streep, Julie Walters & Christine Baranski)
"Our Last Summer" (Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, Amanda Seyfried & Meryl Streep)
"Lay All Your Love on Me" (Dominic Cooper & Amanda Seyfried)
"Super Trouper" (Meryl Streep, Julie Walters & Christine Baranski)
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" (A Man After Midnight) (Amanda Seyfried, Ashley Lilley & Rachel McDowall)
"The Name of the Game" (Amanda Seyfried)
"Voulez-Vous" (Full cast, Philip Michael, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters & Stellan Skarsgard)
"SOS" (Pierce Brosnan & Meryl Streep)
"Does Your Mother Know" (Christine Baranski & Philip Michael)
"Slipping Through My Fingers" (Meryl Streep & Amanda Seyfried)
"The Winner Takes It All" (Meryl Streep)
"When All is Said and Done" (Pierce Brosnan & Meryl Streep)
"Take a Chance on Me" (Julie Walters, Stellan Skarsgard, Colin Firth, Philip Michael & Christine Baranski)
"I Have a Dream" (Amanda Seyfried)

Following a record-breaking opening in the U.K., "Mamma Mia!" — starring Academy Award winner Meryl Streep — opened in cinemas nationwide July 18.

Mamma Mia! and the music of ABBA recently scored a triple play: The soundtrack to the film, the original cast recording of Mamma Mia! and the "ABBA Gold" compilation all reached the top spot on their respective charts (soundtrack chart, Broadway chart and Catalogue chart) the week of July 28.

The Broadway musical continues to play the Winter Garden Theatre. For more information visit www.mamma-mia.com.
