LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts) - The soundtrack to Spider-Man, featuring new songs from Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, Aerosmith, Sum 41, Alien Ant Farm, and Default, arrived in stores this week (April 30).

Default's Jeremy Hora tells that his connection to the franchise dates back to his youth. "I love Spider-Man," he says.
