Tarzan was the first Disney soundtrack to be recorded in multiple languages for different markets with Phil Collins also recording French, German, Italian and Spanish versions of the soundtrack, and he was assisted by composer Éric Serra to record and produce the French versions of the songs.

Commercial performance

edit

The Tarzan soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records on May 18, 1999. The soundtrack peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200 during the week of July 10, 1999, coinciding with the film's theatrical run. The album was a major comeback for Phil Collins, and put him back in the public eye. In the U.S. it reached double platinum status, becoming his best selling album of new material in a decade. [citation needed]

A promotion was held at the Disney Store. Customers who bought the soundtrack received a free and exclusive single of "You'll Be in My Heart". The soundtrack itself was labeled limited edition, including a holographic cover and an individual collector's number.[citation needed]

The album has sold 2,586,000 copies in the U.S. as of April 2014.[8]
