Spider-Man 3 (soundtrack)
Music from and Inspired by Spider-Man 3 is a soundtrack album to Sam Raimi's 2007 film "Spider-Man 3". It was released on May 1, 2007. A special edition version is available only on the soundtrack's official website. A digital edition of the album is also in the planning stages, with the release date to be announced. The soundtrack's website allows the user to listen to the first song from the soundtrack. Unlike the first two "Spider-Man" soundtrack releases, the album does not feature any of the film's score by  Christopher Young. The entire concept of this soundtrack is that each song was written (or recorded in the case of The Flaming Lips) for the soundtrack exclusively, with the exception of Chubby Checker's 1960 hit "The Twist". The special edition of the album is available only on the soundtrack's website, and it contains a bonus track (the "Theme from Spider-Man" covered by The Flaming Lips), a 32-page embossed hardcover book featuring movie stills and all five collectable movie cards inside 8"x8" box made from a replica of the rubberized black Spider-Man suit. Additionally, the digital  version was made available for pre-order on iTunes and does contain "The Theme from Spider-Man" by The Flaming Lips. Following its release, the soundtrack debuted at number 33 on the U.S. "Billboard" 200, selling about 21,000 copies in its first week.
