History

Historical Context

In 1992, Whitney Houston’s soundtrack for the film The Bodyguard, promoted by Arista Records chief Clive Davis, sold roughly 50 million copies worldwide, showing how a blockbuster film can drive massive music sales. That model informs the 2026 release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack, which drops on May 1 across Apple Music and Spotify featuring Lady Gaga and other artists, aiming to boost the film’s visibility and streaming revenue.
