‘Wicked’ Soundtrack Tops Multiple Billboard Charts, Makes Historic Start on Billboard 200


The 'Wicked' soundtrack tops multiple Billboard charts and makes historic debut on the Billboard 200.

On the latter, the set, which was released on Nov. 22, notches highest debut for a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical ever, dating to the list’s 1956 launch as a regularly published weekly chart. The new Wicked film, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, is based on the long-running stage musical of the same name, which has played on Broadway in New York since 2003. Wicked also logs the biggest week for any stage-to-screen musical soundtrack since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by equivalent album units in December 2014.
