No? OK, then you've at least watched Barney once or twice. You haven't? What are you, some kind of grown-up? Well, then, chances are you've yet to come in contact with young Ms. Demi Lovato, who got her start showing her gums on the purple dino's cute-fest at age six and her big break as a star of Disney's 2008 rock-camp-themed movie-musical. But you're going to be seeing a lot more of her: The Dallas, Tex., native stars in the Disney Channel series Sonny with a Chance and makes headlines for her BFF-ship with fellow Disney starlet Selena Gomez. And her buddies the Jonas Brothers (who also star in Camp Rock) worked with Lovato, a longtime singer-songwriter, to put together her debut album in 2008. For album two, 2009's Here I Go Again, she enlisted John Mayer as inspiration and collaborator. - Rachel Devitt]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3974&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Children's TV/Movies Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:52:49 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3974 art.3974 Disney art.3974 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3974&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3974&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Pirates of the Caribbean), Elton John (The Lion King), Celine Dion (Beauty and the Beast), Vanessa Williams (Pocahontas), Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins) and Randy Newman (Toy Story) providing the fantastical soundtracks to these characters' timeless tales. - Stephanie Benson]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3486&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Soundtracks Sat, 12 Dec 2009 11:17:07 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3486 art.3486 Hans Zimmer art.3486 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3486&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3486&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Rain Man, As Good As It Gets, Gladiator, The Prince of Egypt and The Thin Red Line; he won for the score to The Lion King. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1082&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Soundtracks Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:41:04 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1082 art.1082 Henry Mancini art.1082 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1082&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1082&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Peter Gunn and film's The Pink Panther soundtracks, Big Band jazz and easy listening albums, and standards such as "Moon River" and "Days of Wine and Roses."]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7165426&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Orchestral Scores Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:38:09 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7165426 art.7165426 Steve Jablonsky art.7165426 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7165426&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7165426&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61208&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Musicals Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:55:20 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61208 art.61208 Andrew Lloyd Webber art.61208 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61208&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61208&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Jesus Christ Superstar. The duo originally couldn't raise enough financing to mount a show, so they released a J.C. Superstar soundtrack album first and saw it instantly take off, and they were able to turn it into a stage musical. After that breakthrough success, Webber and Rice didn't have any problems finding money to put their shows together, and experienced even greater triumphs with Evita (which stands up as their greatest work) and Cats (which became one of the longest running shows in theater history). After these successes, it didn't seem as if Webber could get any bigger. But then he composed a light rock adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera using his then-wife Sarah Brightman as his muse. Phantom turned an even bigger number of young people raised on TV and the movies into theatergoers, and Webber has kept going from there. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15383073&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Soundtracks Wed, 4 Nov 2009 12:14:30 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.15383073 art.15383073 Nicholas Hooper art.15383073 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15383073&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15383073&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4172&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Film Scores Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:08:12 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4172 art.4172 John Barry art.4172 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4172&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4172&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Austin Powers-style grooviness he's so often associated with. Besides winning numerous Academy Awards for scores to such movies as The Lion In Winter, Born Free and Dances With Wolves, he's developed a cult of female fans enraptured with his richly romantic scores to Out of Africa and, in particular, Somewhere in Time. Interestingly, Barry has said that he prefers these brooding pieces to the sweeping theme of Born Free, his most popular recording outside of the Bond theme (which was originally credited to another composer). Barry still makes modern classical and jazz music when he's not working on film scores. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.559&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Vocal-Pop Sun, 13 Dec 2009 10:14:03 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.559 art.559 Tom Jones art.559 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.559&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.559&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3304&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Film Scores Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:08:28 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3304 art.3304 Ennio Morricone art.3304 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3304&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3304&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Though most often identified for the grand, heroic gestures of this period, he certainly did not limit himself to this style. From the eerie electronics of The Thing to the cross-cultural orchestration of The Mission, Morricone has shown himself capable of an absolutely remarkable breadth of expression. His forays outside of film music, including trumpet work in seminal improvisation ensemble Nuova Consonanza as well as numerous Avant-Garde and experimental compositions, further entrench his place among this century's most fascinating and important composers. - Doug Russell]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4192&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Orchestral Scores Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:44:50 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4192 art.4192 James Horner art.4192 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4192&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4192&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Humanoids From the Deep and Battle Beyond the Stars are fun and all, Horner soon went on to much bigger things -- the '80s found the composer to be a very hot commodity indeed. His scores to Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan and Aliens were huge successes, showcasing his bombastic dramatic sense and epic, sweeping style. Recent years have brought Braveheart as well as his most well-known score to date, Titanic. Critics often bash him for his notorious tendency to borrow from past works, something he does more than even, perhaps, John Williams. Originality aside, however, Horner's music has a knack for keeping the audience teetering on the edge of their seats, and that's something no one can complain about. - Doug Russell]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6123&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss West Coast Jazz Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:08:04 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6123 art.6123 Vince Guaraldi art.6123 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6123&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6123&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Peanuts cartoons. This San Francisco native added his hard hitting yet sensitive piano skills to Cal Tjader's Latin Jazz band after a stint with the great Woody Herman. Guaraldi's keyboard style mixed the beauty of Bill Evans' melodic explorations with Horace Silver or Ramsey Lewis' crowd pleasing funkiness. He formed his own trio and had a Top-40 hit with "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" in 1963. His sublime work on the Peanuts television specials got no finer than on A Charlie Brown Christmas, which brings a touch of bittersweet tenderness to holiday cheer. Though he died young at the age of forty-seven in 1976, Guaraldi had already made his musical mark. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69097&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Film Scores Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:39:47 -0700 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.69097 art.69097 Rachel Portman art.69097 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69097&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69097&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss The Cider House Rules won an Academy Award for the score to Jane Austen's Emma in 1996. - Jessy Terry]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16371913&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Metal Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:55:27 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.16371913 art.16371913 Dethklok art.16371913 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16371913&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16371913&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Metalocalypse.

Well, gentle reader, you can now revel in the delights of knowledge, for it was none other than Alan Silvestri. Oh, but it didn't stop there. For as careers seem to snowball in the magic city of Hollywood, so too did Silvestri's. A year later, he found himself donning headphones and waving the conductor's wand on the set of Back to the Future. The weight of the project was so intense that he took three years off until he found himself at the mixing board once again, this time scoring the classic film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. From there, his "snowball" exploded into an avalanche of opportunity, with Silvestri doing the scores for Forrest Gump, What Lies Beneath, Flight of the Navigator, Predator (but not Alien vs. Predator, which was scored by the lionhearted Marco Beltrami), The Abyss (but not Ghosts of the Abyss, which was scored by the illustrious Joel McNeely), The Bodyguard, and The Quick and the Dead. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.67181&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Soundtracks Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:38:10 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.67181 art.67181 Klaus Badelt art.67181 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.67181&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.67181&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14089398&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Soundtracks Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:49:19 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.14089398 art.14089398 Mc Chris art.14089398 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14089398&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14089398&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6193&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Beats & Breaks Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:13:26 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6193 art.6193 David Holmes art.6193 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6193&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6193&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss This Film is Crap Let's Slash the Seats and three years later on Kruder & Dorfmeister's Sessions, "Gone" brings out Trip-Hop's visual elements much like the experimental breakbeat stylings of Mo' Wax poster boy DJ Shadow. Enlisting the quasi-Shirley Bassey vocal resonance of Saint Etienne's Sarah Cracknell and Progressive Rock artist-turned-Ambient Techno composer Steve Hillage's atmospheric strings, Holmes turns out a murky roller of a track that breathes life into a lonely, James Bond-inspired tale of evil temptresses and governmental treachery. A vaguely noticeable Celtic essence emphasizes a sense of homesickness in this Belfast native's uneasy mix. With this track's brooding cinematic textures and oddly appealing sense of loneliness, Holmes draws a listener base of solitary moviegoers. - Mike Schulman]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8353&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Singer-Songwriter Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:08:22 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.8353 art.8353 Andrew Gold art.8353 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8353&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8353&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss The Golden Girls) and the Mad About You theme.

But Arnold can take successful detours into the realms of pop and dance: a song he composed with Bjork for the film The Young Americans (1993) became a U.K. hit, and he masterminded the James Bond music tribute Shaken and Stirred (1997) by utilizing the talents of Pulp's Jarvis Cocker and Artcore wiz LTJ Bukem. - Will Lerner]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3498&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Non-Orchestral Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:27:42 -0800 Top Soundtracks Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3498 art.3498 Angelo Badalamenti art.3498 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3498&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3498&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Fsoundtracks%2Fartist-chart.rss Blue Velvet and the Twin Peaks TV series.
