Released in the post-Britpop period, the song peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song is Snow Patrol's biggest-selling single to date, ending 2006 as that year's 14th best-selling single in the UK and that year had the distinction of being the last song performed live on the BBC's Top of the Pops. "Chasing Cars" became notable as one of the songs that revealed the impact of legal downloads on single sales in the UK, selling consistently for years after its release. The song gained significant popularity in the US after being featured in the second season finale of the popular medical drama Grey's Anatomy, which aired on. It was recorded in 2005 and released on 6 June 2006 in the United States and 24 July 2006 in the United Kingdom. It was released as the second single from their fourth studio album, Eyes Open (2006). (Sorry, Disney fans.) And to make this a somewhat manageable task, we've limited ourselves to English-language films made after 1960."Chasing Cars" is a song by Scottish-Northern Irish alternative rock band Snow Patrol.
Also, we're not including any movie musicals. That means the use of "Layla" in Goodfellas does not make the cut - neither does your favorite needle drop from Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, or David Lynch.
Here are the ground rules: We're only including songs recorded and released for a movie. These are the 33 movie soundtrack anthems you're still listening to long after the credits roll.
Sometimes it's "Eye of the Tiger" and you end up getting pulled over on the drive home. Sometimes it's a perfect thematic fit with the film's narrative. The crafting of a cohesive movie soundtrack may be an increasingly lost art, but the original movie song endures, giving you something to hum as you walk to the car from the theater or close the Netflix tab. With all apologies to Berlin's "Take My Breath Away," that's what we're here do to. There's a real need for alternate canons - especially if they include Kenny Loggins. The list of winners provides an incomplete history of the fascinating intersection between the music business and film industry. On the whole, the category, which was created in 1934, rewards compositions that pull at the heartstrings with an overly aggressive, occasionally life-threatening touch. Every year, the Academy Awards honors a musician with the Best Original Song Oscar, and almost every year, the Academy Award embarrasses itself.
