Album of the Day

The story of a boy who rides a magical train to the North Pole on Christmas Eve, Robert Zemeckis' animated film THE POLAR EXPRESS has become a holiday classic in the years since its 2004 release. Famous for its pioneering use of motion capture computer animation, the movie is also noteworthy for its soundtrack, which pairs Yuletide favorites by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with several new songs. Among the highlights: star Tom Hanks acquits himself well on two tracks, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler belts out “Rockin' on Top of the World,” and the Josh Groban-sung “Believe” earned an Oscar nomination and a Grammy Award. We wish you a Merry Christmas with the Gold-certified THE POLAR EXPRESS (ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK).
