The 70s soul jams, such as Blue Swede&#8217;s &quot;Hooked on a Feeling&quot; and Redbone&#8217;s &quot;Come and Get Your Love,&quot; were presented in a unique way. The soundtrack for The Suicide Squad also featured punk rock from the 80s, including songs by The Jim Carroll Band and Pixies.<\/p>\n<h2>James Gunn&#8217;s Soundtrack for Superhuman<\/h2>\n<p>With Superhuman, James Gunn remains on the punk rock course but brings it to the 21st century with &quot;Punk Rocker&quot; by Teddybears, featuring Iggy Pop. The song is a key part of the film&#8217;s emotional finale and continues to play during the credits. The well-rated and well-attended DC studios start on the right note with this soundtrack.<\/p>\n<h2>Iggy Pop&#8217;s Involvement<\/h2>\n<p>The 78-year-old Iggy Pop is thrilled to play a key role in one of the summer&#8217;s biggest hits. He says, &quot;I always thought the track had soul. Superman is the best friend you could have.&quot; The steel man could turn out to be a good friend who can burst in several ways.<\/p>\n<h2>The Soundtrack&#8217;s Success<\/h2>\n<p>&quot;Punk Rocker&quot; recorded considerable profits after the opening weekend, with streams rising from 1,572 to almost 190,500 on July 12th. Another song on the Superhuman soundtrack, &quot;5 Years Time&quot; by Noah and The Whale, saw a 1000 percent increase in streams, from 7,300 to 85,400. Only time will show whether these profits are a sign of more considerable boosts to come.<\/p>\n<h2>Comparison to Previous Soundtracks<\/h2>\n<p>The success of the Superhuman soundtrack is reminiscent of the Guardian of the Galaxy films. &quot;Hooked on a Feeling&quot; and &quot;Come and Get Your Love&quot; saw considerable recovery due to their prominent placements in the films. The Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 went triple platinum, while Vol. 2 went platinum. It will be interesting to see if the Superhuman soundtrack follows a similar path.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>James Gunn&#8217;s soundtracks have a way of making an impact, and the Superhuman soundtrack is no exception. With its unique blend of punk rock and soul, it&#8217;s sure to be a hit with fans.
