Sheeran’s “All of the Stars,” meanwhile, will take center stage in a new TV spot. Ed Sheeran and Birdy take the prize for the most heart-wrenching ballads, although I think Birdy gets a slight. Many of them have written original songs for this movie, and they are sure to be absolute tear-jerkers. Videos were created for each, with Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap” being serviced to radio (in addition to plays in the prerelease trailer). The Fault In Our Stars album features artists such as Ed Sheeran, Birdy, Charlie XCX, Lykke Li and Jaymes Young, to name a few.

In addition to Birdy’s tracks, Weaver secured new music by Atlantic artists Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX, Grouplove and Lykke Li. An opportunity to incorporate music from its own roster was not lost on the winning label. One might think that young-adult book adaptation is a no-brainer when it comes to attracting a young, female audience, but “Fault” is no “Twilight.” A love story about two cancer-stricken teens, it’s neither a franchise nor ripe for a sequel, yet it was one of the most in-demand titles among record companies bidding for the soundtrack rights. As someone who knows what it’s like to live with someone who has cancer, I hated The Fault in Our Stars. Kaleidoscopic pop troupe Grouplove set their typically ecstatic sound to smolder on 'Let Me In,' and even pop-hop upstart Charli XCX broods a bit on 'Boom Clap. Yes, it was sad, but it definitely wasn’t the saddest movie I have ever seen. 2014 Even the soundtrack to this star-crossed love story is a tearjerker.

“Fault” delivered an impressive $48.2 million opening weekend, easily beating Angelina Jolie’s “Maleficent” and Tom Cruise’s “Edge of Tomorrow.” The Fault In Our Stars (Music From the Motion Picture) Various Artists Soundtrack THIS ARTICLE FIRST APPEARED IN BILLBOARD GET THIS WEEK’S ISSUE HERE OR SUBSCRIBE
