Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack for the 2009 film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Released on December 1, 2009, the album features performances by the Chipmunks and Chipettes, along with contributions from artists such as Honor Society, Queensberry, and Charice. The soundtrack achieved commercial success, selling approximately 650,000 copies and earning Gold certification from both the Recording Industry Association of America and the Australian Recording Industry Association.




Background


For Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, producers recorded over 100 songs performed by the Chipmunks and Chipettes, though only a portion were included in the final film. Unlike the soundtrack of the original film, which featured original compositions, the Squeakquel soundtrack consists primarily of covers of popular songs by artists such as the Bee Gees and Alicia Keys. According to Mike Knobloch, Executive Vice President of Fox Music, the original film’s soundtrack faced difficulties in securing high-profile artists, with many declining to participate. As the original soundtrack achieved Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, it allowed for the inclusion of more popular music in the Squeakquel soundtrack.




Reception


In December 2009, the album entered the Billboard 200 chart at number 28. During its first two weeks, it sold 77,000 copies, significantly outperforming the predecessor's soundtrack, which sold 7,000 copies during the same period. By the first week of January 2010, the album's sales showed an upward trend, reaching number 7 on the chart for the week of January 16, 2010, with 51,000 units sold. It reached its highest position at number 6 for the week of January 23, 2010, selling an additional 44,000 copies. Since its release, the album has sold nearly 650,000 units.
