It’s been 18 months since The Greatest Showman hit cinemas screens. And now with this week’s Official Film Chart, the Hugh Jackman movie music has crossed another milestone. The Greatest Showman has not once dropped out of the Top 20 of physical and digital home releases. In fact, the movie was the biggest seller of 2018.
Interestingly, The Greatest Showman’s popularity in the UK is largely filled by male music fans, who made up the majority of the streams.
The album beat George Ezra’s Staying at Tamara’s and Ed Sheeran’s ÷.
Following the first film’s success, it’s unsurprising that there seem to be plans for The Greatest Showman 2.
Last month, Jackman said: “The real answer is ‘could be’, I’m not sure.”
Jackman continued: “I’m being completely honest with you, there is talk of something going around but no one is really sure.
“I think right now there’s more emphasis being put on what will happen with… I was doing my show, will there be another live version.
“No one is really sure right now, so that’s the honest truth.
“But I think someone is working on a treatment for something… I know they are, they’re working on a treatment for something.”
