Soundtrack These songs are on the film's soundtrack but aren't about the narrative of the film and aren't theme songs or titular. The song must have been published on a record chart to make this list.
Outperformers This is a list of songs that outperformed the films with which they are associated. In order to determine the performance of the song or film, their rankings in the top 10 in the US Billboard Hot 100 or US box office records are taken. A ranking's value is determined by subtracting the numerical rank from 11:
∑ t = 1 t = N 1 1 − r t
The sums of the ranking values of a song or film are then compared as a ratio.
