Encanto soundtrack reaches the top of the Billboard 100

As for the person songs, it ought to come as no shock to anybody who’s watched the film that the infectious “We Don’t Speak About Bruno” is the most well-liked music on the soundtrack. The music is at the moment probably the most streamed music on Spotify and is the primary Disney Animation music since Frozen’s “Let it Go” to hit the Prime 5 of the Prime 100. Notably, the reggaeton earworm is not the music that Disney submitted for Oscar consideration. That goes to delicate Spanish lullaby “Dos Oruguitas.” It’s the solely music from the film submitted, doubtless in an effort to not cut up the votes. And because the deadline for submission was Nov. 1, there was no method Disney knew which music would take off. The acoustic and bittersweet “Dos Oruguitas” — which comes at a serious tear-jerking second within the movie — is a extra conventional match.

Encanto follows a magical household in Colombia, the place every of the members is blessed with a miraculous present — apart from plucky Mirabel. When the magic is threatened, Mirabel units out to put it aside. Filmmakers Jared Bush and Byron Howard sought to “evolve the Disney musical” and in doing so, leaned far more into musical theater sensibilities than Disney films previous — every music in Encanto effectively and successfully spurs on the plot and character growth. They usually’re simply so rattling catchy!
