ForAlvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel , producers recorded over 100 songs performed by the Chipmunks and Chipettes, though only a portion were included in the final film. Unlike the soundtrack of the original film, which featured original compositions, theSqueakquel soundtrack consists primarily of covers of popular songs by artists such as theBee Gees andAlicia Keys . According to Mike Knobloch, Executive Vice President ofFox Music , the original film’s soundtrack faced difficulties in securing high-profile artists, with many declining to participate. As the original soundtrack achieved Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, it allowed for the inclusion of more popular music in theSqueakquel soundtrack.[ 1]
