I am not normally a great fan of soundtracks as usually there are either a lot of songs on them that don't even appear in the film or there is a lot of instumental background music (which I am not a fan of).

However I am pleased to say that the Love Actually soundtrack is a nice surprise. It has a good mix of songs, most of which I can remember from somewhere in the film. However there are a few christmassy songs on there (well the film is set during the christmas period after all) which can feel a bit weird when you put the CD on in the middle of summer, although I usually just skip onto the next track!

My favourite songs on the soundtrack would have to include 'Too Lost In You' by the Sugababes (love that song!) and 'Sweetest Goodbye' by Maroon 5. There are 20 tracks in total (3 of which are instumental) and I have listed these below.

My only other point would be that I wish they'd put the original 'Jump (for my love)' on the album as it appears in the film rather than the Girls Aloud version, but then you can't have everything I guess!

Overall I would recommend this soundtack especially if you like the film. Might even make a good Christmas present for someone if you are thinking that far ahead! You should be able to get a good deal on it now.

Track Listing:

1. Jump (for My Love) - Girls Aloud
2. Too Lost In You - Sugababes (Soundtrack Version)
3. The Trouble With Love Is - Kelly clarkson
4. Here With Me - Dido
5. Christmas Is All Around - Billy Mack
6. Turn Me On - Norah Jones
7. Songbird - Eva Cassidy
8. Sweetest Goodbye - Maroon 5
9. Wherever You WIll Go - The Calling
10. I'll See It Through - Texas
11. Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
12. White Christmas - Otis Redding
13. Take Me As I Am - Sharissa
14. All I Want For Christmas Is You - Olivia Olson
15. God Only Knows - the Beach Boys
16. All You Need Is Love - Lynden David Hall
17. Sometimes - Gabrielle
18. Glasgow Love theme - Craig Armstrong
19. PM's Love theme - Craig Armstrong
20. Portugese Love theme - Craig Armstrong

I always thought that Jump had been sung by someone else. No one else about me could confirm it. More thoughts from you about the songs (each one) would be great. Louise x
