I'd admit that Tarzan has a pretty nice soundtrack (I
love "Son of Man"), but I'm not crazy about Collins. Btw, his work for the musical version of Tarzan (the additional songs) is kind of terrible.
The Lion King is kind of a popularity thing. "CYFTLT" and "Circle of Life" are the only really good ones, imo. Still, congratulations to Elton John.
Also, I wonder if Mermaid would be next to the top if those two years were added in--the first two years after a film's released are the hugest, after all, so the fact that it's number is as high as it is, is pretty impressive.
Another thing--I had read so many reviews of people not liking the music of Aladdin that it's a little unexpected to see it do so well. I don't share the opinion (I enjoy just about every song in the film), but I'm surprised to see it higher than B&tB.
