PITCH PERFECT 2 Soundtrack Traveling Toward No. 1 on Billboard 200

Billboard writes that the PITCH PERFECT 2 movie soundtrack, which was released May 12, is angling for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The soundtrack could sell over 80,000 albums by the end of this week (May 17).

PITCH PERFECT 2 hits theaters tomorrow, May 15.

The original film debuted in 2012, and its soundtrack topped out at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, with 1.2 million copies sold in the U.S. Anna Kendrick's "Cups" single rose to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year.

The Barden Bellas are back in PITCH PERFECT 2, the follow-up to the original smash hit. The comedy is helmed by Elizabeth Banks, co-star and producer of Pitch Perfect, and is produced by Paul Brooks, Max Handelman and Banks. The sequel stars Elizabeth Banks, Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Hailee Steinfeld.

In PITCH PERFECT, when Beca leads this acoustic singing group out of their traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mashups, they fight to climb their way to the top of college music competitions. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both. THE PITCH Perfect ensemble includes Kendrick (Twilight, Up in the Air), Anna Camp (The Help),Brittany Snow (Hairspray) and Wilson (Bridesmaids, Bachelorette).

While you wait for tomorrow's big screen premiere, check out the official PITCH PERFECT 2 music video titled "Crazy Youngsters" by Ester Dean, available on the Pitch Perfect 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
