THE TOP TWENTY CINEMATIC MUSICALS ROCKING THE PLANET

If you're a fan of musicals, then you might like to check out the following list because it illustrates the top twenty musical numbers featured on film. You see, not so long ago, my friends over at StubHub (the world’s largest ticket marketplace) decided to pull together relevant sources of information compiled by IMDb, What’s On Stage, and Spotify, in order to determine the most popular song performed in each of the top musicals. But not just any movie related musical. Instead, they’ve selected songs from musical albums that have been played at least 1 million times in total, and are generally considered  'true musicals' as opposed to films that heavily feature singing, such as 'A Star Is Born', for instance, or 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Eventually, they created their final top twenty playlist which I can now share with you. Please enjoy.
