You implied that those tracks played a greater role in the soundtrack's success than Celine's song in these posts:

imo it sold because people were enchanted by the soundscape of the film in general.

do you honestly think Celine is to blame for the album's success? it was a phenomenon. She has ONE song on the whole album - again, why would people buy a 15 track album when the single was in every store as well?

yes, songs, not one song. it isn't even featured in the movie.

Regardless, even if you're simply trying to argue that MHWGO had a comparatively *negligible* role in the album's sales that in and of itself is still obviously untrue.

For what type of music? Music w/ Celtic influences?

So were these movies:
Gone With the Wind
The Sound of Music
The Godfather
Jaws
Star Wars
E.T.
Jurassic Park
Avatar
All of them (except Avatar) have memorable/iconic instrumental scores. Guess which was the only one to sell a significant number of albums? The one that featured actual songs (TSOM).

Clearly not, as evidenced by the examples above, as well as all the other countless examples of hit films w/ memorable (but entirely instrumental) scores that never materialized into any substantial soundtrack sales.

not the song alone which is what you continue to falsely imply. those aren't her sales! **** ZzZzZ

The song was the primary factor that gave people incentive to buy the album.

Even Lipton thinks this is a reach.

You tried it.
? And Katy sold 90% of the all tickets available in the UK so you could finally stop embarrassing yourselves.
There is no way in hell that Katy will average more than 1 mil. in US with tickets as cheap as Gaga's (if they aren't cheaper). Just wait for Gaga's shows in UK with 100% attendance and a higher gross 
Let's guess, how much Gaga will gross with her 4-5 stadium dates in Asia? 60-70% out of Katy's gross in Australia? Poor Basic, fukcing kangaroos in Australia and still being a poor hoe
