soundtrack album

Movie music compilation

A soundtrack album is a collection of music from a film, television show, video game, or theatrical production, released as a standalone recording.

It may contain the original score composed for the production, licensed songs featured in it, or both: The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack album topped the charts.

Some distinguish between score albums (instrumental compositions) and soundtrack albums (featuring songs), though the terms often blur.
