About the album

If you've been to a wedding since 2011, there's a decent chance you've already slow-danced to something from this album, because this is where Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" came from. Breaking Dawn Part 1 was the one where Bella and Edward finally tied the knot, and music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, who also produced the record, built the soundtrack to match: lush, romantic and just a little bit gothic. Bruno Mars contributed "It Will Rain," which went out as a single that September, Iron & Wine's "Flightless Bird" made a return visit from the first film, and Sleeping At Last's "Turning Page" found a big following of its own.

Atlantic put the album out in November 2011 and it went to No. 4 on the Billboard 200 (and No. 1 on the soundtrack chart), reached No. 16 here in Canada, and picked up Platinum in New Zealand and Gold in the UK and Australia along the way. The deep cuts are worth the trip too: The Joy Formidable, Angus & Julia Stone, The Belle Brigade, Noisettes, Theophilus London and a stretch of Carter Burwell's score with "Love Death Birth." Team Edward, Team Jacob or just Team Good Soundtrack, this red double LP is a handsome way to keep the saga spinning.

On Atlantic, a reissue of the 2011 soundtrack.
