Grey's Anatomy: Volume 2 Soundtrack the Second Companion Album to the Emmy-Nominated Series Enters Billboard's Top 200 at No 14

BURBANK, CA. (Hollywood Records) - Fueled by hit singles "How To Save A Life," from The Fray, and a an exclusive live acoustic version of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" Grey's Anatomy: Volume 2 TV series soundtrack has rocketed onto Billboard's Top 200 chart at No 14, with sales of more than 46,000 units and to No 3 on iTunes, bested only by Justin Timberlake and John Mayer, with digital sales of more than 14,000. The blockbuster TV series soundtrack marks the biggest first week sales of an original TV series soundtrack since 1999's Dawson's Creek.

The album's tracks, many of which can be heard during key emotional scenes in various episodes, were chosen by the show's creator and executive producer, Shonda Rhimes and executive producer Betsy Beers, from a large pool of artists introduced to them by music supervisor Alex Patsavas.

The show's quirky combination of sound and vision are perfectly captured on this brilliant mixtape of pop and indie rock artists, as evidenced by the inclusion of singer/songwriter Gran Bel Fisher's tender "Bound By Love," KT Tunstall's "Universe and U," Kate Havnevik's "Grace" and "How We Operate" by Gomez. "KT, Kate and Gomez are three artists that the show loves and has turned to several times for music," says Grey's Anatomy music supervisor Alexandrea Patsavas. "For last season's finale, we needed a song that expressed loss and Kate wrote 'Grace' specifically for us. She captured the show's emotion perfectly. KT has a beautiful, heartfelt delivery and a unique, expressive voice that's lent depth to many of the show's scenes. As for Gomez, 'How We Operate' was a great match both musically and lyrically."
