History

Historical Context

The 1992 release of Whitney Houston’s The Bodyguard soundtrack, which sold over 45 million copies worldwide and topped the Billboard 200 for 20 weeks, proved films could generate revenue via music tie-ins. Studios now echo that model, as Interscope and 20th Century Pictures launch the 2026 ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ soundtrack featuring Lady Gaga and Meryl Streep to boost the sequel’s impact.
