SOUNDTRACK is your one hour red carpet ride to the marvellous music of movies and television. We’ll give you the inside scoop on the songs, and feature the films and tv productions in which they were played. We’ll also catch up when we can to the songwriters, composers, producers, directors and music supervisors attached to the tunes and of course we’ll enjoy the songs themselves. Now as you might imagine with hundreds of thousands of TV shows and movies made over the years the scope for SOUNDTRACK is massive – so we’ll give each episode an area of focus and shine the spotlight on that. Today I’m gonna need you to grab a hand full of Kleenex – because this episode is all about Heartbreak. In some cases the songs were played during a totally tear-filled scene – while others would serve as a theme song throughout. Some – I won’t kid ya weren’t in sad movies at all but rather it’s the music and lyrics themselves that’ll break your heart and vice versa. We’ve got award-winning songs, a couple of comeback stories, lots of number ones, a few lesser-knowns and a heart-wrenching song from the biggest selling soundtrack of all .
