"Clair Obscur Soundtrack Tops Billboard's Classical Album Chart, Accumulating Over 18 Million Streams Since Release"
Unleashing the Majesty of Clair Obscur's Expedition 33
Listen up, mates! I've gotta share my thoughts on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and let me tell ya, this puppy's got some serious chops. I've heard whispers of its jaw-dropping soundtrack, and let me tell ya, I won't be forgetting it anytime soon.
This bad boy's famous now, baby. Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is shouting it loud on social media, "Our soundtrack's connecting way beyond our wildest dreams – 18 millie streams since launch? Whoa!" The album's currently reigning on the Billboard Classical Album Chart and Classical Crossover Album Chart, sitting pretty at number one, and it's not stopping there. It's number 13 on the Official Soundtrack Album Chart and number 31 on the Official Album Download Chart.
Imagine this – 154 tracks, eight hours and nine minutes of pure gold, and somehow, every single one of them slaps. The cutscene, map, and fight scene music are all killer, but Monoco's theme? That's the real headline. The album and the mastermind behind it, Lorien Testard – who's never meddled with a game soundtrack before – deserve all the credit they're getting.
And Expedition 33's success isn't only limited to its soaring tunes. This JRPG's been knocking it out of the park, selling over a million copies in just three days – and that's even with it being on Game Pass. French President Emmanuel Macron even gave it a shout-out on Instagram: "Y'all are a shining example of French daring and creativity!"
I'm nearing the end of Expedition 33, and I've sucked into this game like a black hole. I can't let go, not with all those portals to explore, trinkets to grab, and bosses to fight. Some of the portals lead to a massive map, but others are just a single open space with a mystery item waiting to be discovered.
I guess I can't shake off things I love, huh? But if those mini-adventures can give me another 20 hours or so with this disaster expedition while rockin' to an incredible soundtrack, I'm all for it.
