Oh, so that's why Anna Kendrick released that video for "Cups." In addition to being a surprise, sequel-spawning box office hit, "Pitch Perfect" was also a smash soundtrack success that's still topping the Billboard charts in that category today. You would think that Universal Music Group might have done a better push for this, or at least raised some kind of awareness, but anyway a new EP of sorts of additional songs from the movie is here.

Aside from the visuals, perhaps the most striking aspect of Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby“ thus far has been the film's music. Luhrmann’s movies, particularly “Romeo + Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge!," have always been known for their lustrous soundtracks, and “The Great Gatsby” is no different in that regard. The xx are among the number of artists rounded up to provide tunes for the movie, and their song “Together,” which was written exclusively for the film, has just been made available to listen to in full. You can check it out below.

With music proving to be a key element in Baz Luhrmann's upcoming take on the classic American novel "The Great Gatsby," given how hard the push has been for the soundtrack, it's beginning to eclipse the fact that there are some very real movie stars in this thing. But today we have a bit of both as the nearly daily updates on 'Gatsby' continue.

It was just over a year or so ago that every music blog on the planet couldn't stop writing about Lana Del Rey, tracking her every move, breathlessly awaiting the release of her debut album. Then it arrived and everyone kind of shrugged, and her quick rise was followed by a cynical fall, cemented by a less than stellar performance on "Saturday Night Live." But she has continued to press on, and is still enough of a name to have worked her way onto "The Great Gatsby" soundtrack. And the results? Pretty much what you'd expect.

From Jake Gyllenhaal reading the audiobook to the 3D visuals to the Jay-Z produced soundtrack, "The Great Gatsby" is driving the hoop to cover the demographic known as: 15-34. That's where the money is at the box office and if you're dusting off a book that many kids associate with English class, you better make it worth your while. But that means for the rest of us, "The Great Gatsby" might be ear poison.

As the case has been made abundantly clear, "The Great Gatsby" is going for broke in the big screen, 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel. Of the biggest sticking points for those still on the fence about the movie is Baz Luhrmann's choice to go with contemporary music (with a soundtrack overseen by Jay-Z), adding some modern swagger to the Jazz Age tale. We'll know in a few weeks if it all works, but an early taste has arrived.
