Background

Despite the overwhelming negative reception of the film itself, the soundtrack album for Batman & Robin was well-received, and became a sales success, being certified platinum by the RIAA.[8] The soundtrack included songs by R. Kelly, Arkarna, Jewel, Goo Goo Dolls, R.E.M., Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and The Smashing Pumpkins. The Smashing Pumpkins song "The End Is the Beginning Is the End", which played over the film’s closing credits, won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Three songs from the soundtrack became top-ten hits in the United States: Jewel's contribution, a radio-mix version of "Foolish Games" (US number two), Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's "Look into My Eyes" (US number four), and R. Kelly's "Gotham City" (US number nine). In addition, the track "Fun for Me" by relative newcomers Moloko reached number four on the US Dance Play Chart, and introduced the Irish-English act to a new American audience.
