After only a few weeks in theaters, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning already ranks among the top 10 highest-grossing films of the year. Box Office Mojo reports that since being released in mid-May, what is being called the final installment in the action series starring Tom Cruise has raked in more than $360 million — and the total is still climbing.

Mission: Impossible is beloved around the world and is remembered in part for its iconic theme song, but that’s not the only bit of music from the series that people love. The score that was created for this latest film has proven commercially successful in at least one market where the movie is also widely embraced.

The Mission: Impossible Score Debuts

The latest Mission: Impossible score debuts on two music charts in the U.K. this week. The full-length, which is credited to composers Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey, even manages a top 10 start on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart. The project launches at No. 10 on that tally.

On that list, Mission: Impossible earns the loftiest debut of the frame, beating a new rendition of The Empire Strikes Back soundtrack, as well as several high-profile comebacks.

Mission: Impossible Launches Inside the Top 40 on Two Charts

The same studio effort also appears on the Official Album Downloads chart, which is not specific to any one genre, but instead to the digital format. On that list, Mission: Impossible opens at No. 23. Unlike on the soundtrack tally, the score doesn’t earn the top start here. Instead, the composers come in behind new releases from U.K. favorites like When Rivers Meet, Louise Sparks, and Stereolab.

Top Gun and its Sequel Fly High

Mission: Impossible is one of several Cruise-related titles with scores currently charting on the Official Soundtrack Albums ranking. The original Top Gun pushes 10 spaces to No. 16, while its follow-up Top Gun: Maverick reenters the ranking at No. 42. Both may experience gains thanks to all the excitement around the movie star’s latest blockbuster.

The Top Gun sequel is also present on the Official Compilations chart, where its accompanying album jumps several spots to No. 67 shortly after celebrating 150 weeks on the list.
