I think it's interesting they rank by series so you don't get multiple entries from say Star Wars.
You can see the full list at https://win.classicfm.com/movie-music-2025/
A bit surprised at No 10, the others were predictable. _________________ If you can't stand the heat, don't tease a dragon |

Predictable indeed. Very mainstream too.
But it was interesting to see the list. Thank you Dragonel! _________________ <i>"The piano keys are black and white,

Goodness gracious, I knew the list would be flawed, but that is shockingly off the mark. Poledouris' masterpiece Conan the Barbarian isn't even in the top 100?!? Neither is Horner's Willow or Aliens? And while Debbie Wiseman's Wilde is a fine score, it certainly should not be in the top 10. Ah, well. I guess they didn't ask me.
But nevertheless, thanks, Dragonel, for making us aware of this feature!
