The Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack has been available for purchase since November 20, 2007, and is a companion to the major motion picture, Alvin and the Chipmunks. All of the songs on the soundtrack are performed by the chipmunks in their trademark high-pitched squeaky voice. In an update to the original folksy Chipmunks sound, this film features songs that take on a pop and R&B feel, to match the new hip-hop look that the chipmunks have taken on. The modern animated characters are now edgier and more urban, where they used to be more folksy and cutesy.
Alvin and the Chipmunks are an animated group of three chipmunk brothers, Alvin a mouthy upstart with a penchant for trouble, Simon the wise voice of reason, and Theodore, a chubby and sweet foil. They have been animated and performing pop songs since 1958.
Almost 50 years since the Alvin and the Chipmunks singing group was first introduced to the world, their motion picture soundtrack sold over 1,000,000 albums and has been certified platinum. The success has been largely credited to Internet downloads.http://www.razorandtie.com/news/chipmunks-go-platinum-new-album-in-stores-now
