Trolls: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 2016 DreamWorks Animation film Trolls, released on September 23, 2016 by RCA Records. The soundtrack is produced primarily by singer Justin Timberlake, Max Martin, and Shellback. It features work from Timberlake himself, along with Anna Kendrick, Ron Funches, Zooey Deschanel and Gwen Stefani, who all voice characters in the film, as well as Earth, Wind & Fire and Ariana Grande. [1] The album was certified Platinum in Australia and Double Platinum in the United States. The song "Can't Stop the Feeling!" was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Grammy Award.
After being announced as the voice to the lead character in the musical comedy Trolls opposite Anna Kendrick, [2] Billboard reported that Justin Timberlake also signed on to write and perform original music for the film. [3] Timberlake said in an interview:
It kind of all happened at the same time. I've been friends with the Katzenbergs for years, and Jeffrey had always spoken to me about doing a DreamWorks Animation film. I believe his line was, "We can’t let Elton have all the fun," and I've always said, "If the right thing comes up, let’s do it." … The directors brought me to the DreamWorks campus and pitched me the movie and the character. And when I came out of the room Jeffrey was there, and he said, "And there’s this other thing you could do…" [4]
By the time Timberlake joined the project, there was still some original music needed to be written for the film. Timberlake planned to cover the disco genre among the variety of pop songs present in the film. [4] For the soundtrack album, Earth, Wind & Fire re-recorded "September" with Timberlake and Kendrick. [5]
The soundtrack peaked at number one on the ARIA Charts, [6] three on the US Billboard 200 album chart, four on the New Zealand Albums Chart, [7] and four on the UK Albums Chart. [8] It received Platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America [9] and the Australian Recording Industry Association, [10] and a Gold certification by the British Phonographic Industry. [11] In the United States, it has sold 573,000 copies by April 2017, [12] and was the year's tenth highest selling album in the country with 522,000 sold throughout 2017. [13]
The lead single, "Can't Stop the Feeling!" performed by Justin Timberlake, was released on May 6, 2016, and reached number one on the official charts of 17 countries, including the US Billboard Hot 100. [14]
In 2017, Trolls was ranked as the 11th most popular album of the year on the Billboard 200. [15]
Two years after the soundtrack was released, it was ranked as the 80th most popular album of 2018 on the Billboard 200. [16]
Trolls was nominated for Best Soundtrack at the 2016 St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Association.
