Looking back at Universal Pictures’ blockbuster hit The Best Man Holiday, we’re reminded of the exceptional musical backdrop that helped propel the film to success. The official RCA Records Motion Picture Soundtrack saw a significant surge in sales, landing it at No. 2 and No. 4 on the Billboard Soundtracks and R&B Albums charts, respectively. This not only speaks to the quality of the music but also its resonance with audiences. The soundtrack featured an eclectic mix of holiday tunes and soulful R&B hits, providing a fresh and engaging listening experience.
The Soundtrack that Rocked the Charts
The soundtrack served up a variety of musical flavors – from Charlie Wilson’s heartfelt “I Still Have You,” to New Edition’s classic “Can You Stand The Rain,” and a soulful duet of Stevie Wonder’s “As” by Marsha Ambrosius and Anthony Hamilton, both of whom made special appearances in the film. The music was so impactful that Charlie Wilson even performed the standout track “I Still Have You” on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, further promoting the film and its music.
More Than Just Background Music
“Music plays an integral role in the overall film experience, and The Best Man Holiday soundtrack is a prime example,” says Malcolm D. Lee, the film’s writer and director and executive album producer. “The tracks not only set the tone for the movie, but many served as inspiration during the screenplay creation. With a blend of new R&B tunes and timeless Christmas classics by contemporary artists, this is the soundtrack I envisioned for this movie. I hope you enjoy it this holiday season and for many more to come.”
