Juno Spawns Soundtrack Sequel

By Peter Sciretta/March 31, 2008 1:39 am EST

The soundtrack to Juno was almost as big as the indie film sensation itself, hitting number one on the Billboard charts and becoming the best-selling album on the United States iTunes music store upon release and remaining so for more than ten weeks thereafter. So while a sequel to the film has been discounted by the filmmakers (at least for now), a sequel to the soundtrack has just been announced.

Rhino Records will be releasing “Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs,” a 15-track collection available exclusively through iTunes for $9.99 on April 8th. The album will then be available through all digital service providers on May 13th. Director Jason Reitman insists that this isn’t just a money grab, writing in the liner notes:

Here is the official track listing:
