Deadpool (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2016 film Deadpool, composed by Tom Holkenborg.

Development

In January 2016, Tom Holkenborg confirmed that he would compose the score for Deadpool.[1] He used synthesizers made popular in the 80s that "were perceived as very serious [at the time, but] now, in hindsight, when you play them back, they’re very funny." For Deadpool's primary 'riffs', Holkenborg used an ARP 2600 synth and a Synclavier, while an Oberheim synthesizer was used for the more emotional scenes. A full orchestra was used for the X-Men to give them a "noble" feeling and to honor the previous X-Men films.[2] The film's soundtrack also features several songs, including "Deadpool Rap" by YouTube personalities TeamHeadKick, which was originally inspired by the 2013 Deadpool video game; the film version features updated lyrics which reference the events of the film rather than elements of the game.[3]

The soundtrack album was released digitally on February 12, 2016, featuring both Holkenborg's score and songs from other artists that are used in the film. Physical copies of the soundtrack became available through Milan Records on March 4, 2016.[4]

Commercial performance

The soundtrack debuted at number 30 on the Billboard 200, selling 18,000 units in the first week.[5]
