Released by Atlantic Records on December 8, 2017, “Greatest Showman Soundtrack” racked up 1.3 million in album sales, becoming the only album that sold more than a million during the year, BuzzAngle Music reports.

The Greatest Showman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack for the film of the same name, which similarly had an impressive run at the boxoffice. Inspired by the story of american showman P. T. Barnum, the film grossed over $434 million worldwide.

In fact, the album sold more than double the the no.2 seller of the year, “A Star Is Born” Soundtrack which sold 525,000 units. This means the top two sellers of 2018 are both soundtracks. Justin Timberlake’s “Man of the Woods,” was third with 377,000.

The data accumulate sales of the album tracks as well as sales of pure album units. When taking streaming into account, the list slightly reshuffles.

On the overall listener album consumption which includes streaming, “The Greatest Showman” ranks at a still impressive no.4, right behind Drake (Scorpion), Post Malone (Beerbongs & Bentleys) and XXXTentacion (Question Mark).

In case you’re looking to get fit in 2019, you might want to check out Eminem And Kanye West’s discography to get you motivated. That seems to be what many tune in to.

According Spotify, Eminem’s 2002 track “Till I Collapse” is the most played workout song of all time. This is the third year in the row that the song has led the list.

Eminem also took the second spot with “Lose Yourself,” the hit song from the soundtrack of 2002 film 8 Mile which the rapper also starred in. The song is also the first hip-hop song to receive an academy award for best original song (2003).

Following the Eminem tracks are Kanye West’s “Stronger” and “Power” which placed third and fourth respetively, while Macklemore & Ryan Lewis track “Can’t Hold Us” completes the top 5.

Its not really a surprise that the three rappers topped the list, as hip-hop continues to dominate 2018’s music landscape.

The figures were taken from the 43.5 million workout-themed Spotify playlists which also calculated the top workout songs by gender (“Uptown Funk” for females, “Till I Collapse” for males), most active countries, and months in 2018 when listeners are most active.
