Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Soundtrack Tops Billboard

Developer Sandfall Interactive has achieved a remarkable milestone with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as its official soundtrack tops Billboard charts following the game's release.

While players continue embracing this breakout turn-based RPG, the game's musical score has emerged as a universal point of praise. Social media buzz consistently highlights the soundtrack as a standout feature of Sandfall's debut title – recognition now validated by Billboard's rankings.

Current Billboard charts place Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at #1 on both the Classical Albums and Classical Crossover Albums listings. Sandfall also confirms the soundtrack charted at #13 on the Official Soundtrack Album chart and #31 on the Official Album Download chart, proving the music resonates as strongly as the game's narrative and mechanics.

The orchestral piece "Lumière" currently leads as the most popular track, amassing nearly 1.9 million YouTube views and matching streaming numbers on Spotify.

This musical achievement becomes even more noteworthy considering composer Lorien Testard's background – Sandfall revealed during a BBC interview that they originally discovered Testard through SoundCloud.
