"The Grammy Award-nominated Hairspray Motion Picture Soundtrack was recently certified Platinum by the RIAA, selling in excess of 1 million copies in the US!
The Hairspray Soundtrack spent 9 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 chart this summer after its July 10, 2007 release.
“The enormous success of the Hairspray soundtrack is due to the brilliant team of its producers and songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman,” says Jason Linn, New Line Executive Vice President of Music who oversees New Line Records. “Its Platinum status and Grammy nomination mark two ‘firsts’ for New Line Records — so this week has been a huge milestone for us.”
