ALMOST ALICE Debuts at #5 on The Billboard 200
BURBANK, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - ALMOST ALICE debuts today at #5 on The Billboard 200
album chart, selling over 58,000 units in its first week of release,
according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album topped Billboard's Digital
Album and Soundtrack charts, the iTunes album chart, and also had Top 10
debuts in Mexico, Canada and Australia.
Released March 2, 2010 by Buena Vista Records, ALMOST ALICE (almostalicemusic.com)
puts a musical mad hatter's spin on Alice and her magical Wonderland.
Inspired by Lewis Carroll's beloved storybooks and director Tim Burton's
blockbuster "Alice in Wonderland," ALMOST ALICE boasts an eclectic array
of recording artists with original songs based on some of the most
charismatic characters in literary history. Among the compilation's
highlights are "Alice" by Avril Lavigne (the film's end credit track);
the All-American Rejects' acoustic-driven "The Poison;" and the Cure's
Robert Smith with a haunting update of "Very Good Advice," a song from
the original 1951 Disney animated feature, "Alice in Wonderland."
ALMOST ALICE also features "In Transit" performed by blink-182's
Mark Hoppus and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz; "Painting Flowers," an epic
guitar driven alternative rocker from All Time Low; the funky pop track
"Follow Me Down" from 3OH!3 featuring Neon Hitch; and, from one Grace to
another, a faithful rendition of Jefferson Airplane's 1967 hit "White
Rabbit," performed by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. The album is a
companion to the film's soundtrack, which features the score by composer
Danny Elfman.
When Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Records joined forces with Hot
Topic and MySpace for the Feb. 19 ALICE IN WONDERLAND Ultimate Fan
Event, an estimated 5,000 fans gathered at Hollywood & Highland Center
while an additional 400,000 fans viewed the live online concert event.
The concert featured ALMOST ALICE artists 3OH!3, Metro Station, Kerli
and Never Shout Never. The event culminated with appearances by the
director and cast of ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
Starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as Alice,
ALICE IN WONDERLAND is in theaters worldwide in Disney Digital 3D and
IMAX 3D.
