Lorien Testard’s gorgeous Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack hit streaming last year when the hit fantasy role-playing game launched. However the physical editions of the album were only released last week via Laced Records.
Because of how many units were sold, the record reached Number 16 in the Official UK Album Charts, sandwiched between Linkin Park and Oasis. The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack also reached Number One in the Independent Albums Chart and topped both the Soundtrack Albums Chart and the Physical Albums Chart. It’s the first original video game soundtrack to achieve those milestones.
The album also reached Number One in the Physical Albums Chart in France and was Number Two in France and Germany’s Official Album Charts.
