"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Soundtrack Hits No. 1 on Billboard Classical Charts"

Developer Sandfall Interactive has proudly announced that the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack has soared to the top of the Billboard album charts just weeks after its release. The turn-based RPG's captivating music has been a standout feature, garnering widespread acclaim across social media and now reflected in its chart-topping success.

A visit to the Billboard website reveals that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 currently holds the top spot on both the Classical Albums and Classical Crossover Albums charts. Sandfall also shared that the soundtrack has impressively reached number 13 on the Official Soundtrack Album chart and number 31 on the Official Album Download chart, indicating that fans are not only drawn to the game’s story and gameplay but also its enchanting music.

The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack features over 150 individual tracks, many of which have garnered hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify. The standout track, the epic "Lumière," has amassed nearly 1.9 million views on YouTube and just over 1.9 million streams on Spotify.

The resonance of a video game soundtrack with music enthusiasts is a remarkable achievement, especially given that it was crafted by composer Lorien Testard.
