NOMINATED SONGS: "Happy Working Song," "So Close" and "That's How You Know"
FILM: "Enchanted" (Walt Disney Pictures)
ARTIST(S): Music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
SOUNDTRACK CHART PEAK: No. 5 on Top Soundtracks chart; No. 39 on the Billboard 200
SOUNDTRACK COPIES SOLD: 199,000 (Sales through the week ending February 17, 2008 according to Nielsen SoundScan)
"Enchanted" used 2-D animation, live action and CGI to tell the story of a princess (Amy Adams) who is pushed down a well, comes up through a manhole in modern-day New York and falls in love with a single father (Patrick Dempsey).
And who better to sell a fairy tale than Carrie Underwood? The "American Idol" champ sings the Alan Menken/Stephen Schwartz song "Ever After" at the end of the movie. However, it was not one of the nominated songs. The three numbers nominated, which have collectively sold 177,00 digital downloads, were also written by Menken and Schwartz. "Happy Working Song" will be performed at the ceremony by Adams, "That's How You Know" by Kristin Chenoweth and Marlon Saunders, and "So Close" by Jon McLaughlin.
