The "Lion King" original motion picture soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records on April 27, 1994. It was the fourth-best-selling album of the year on the "Billboard" 200 and the top-selling soundtrack. It is the only soundtrack for an animated film to be certified Diamond (10× platinum) by the Recording Industry Association of America. Zimmer's complete instrumental score for the film was never originally given a full release, until the soundtrack's commemorative in 2014. "The Lion King" also inspired the 1995 release "Rhythm of the Pride Lands", with eight songs by Zimmer, Mancina, and Lebo M.
