The soundtrack to the vampire film "Twilight", featuring songs by Paramore, Muse, Linkin Park, Perry Farrell, Iron & Wine and The Black Ghosts, among others, has debuted at Number One on the US Billboard chart. The album, which sold 165,000 copies, has knocked AC/DC's "Black Ice" off the top spot. The veteran rocker's latest effort held on to Number One for two weeks, but has now dropped to Number Two, selling "only" 160,000 copies.

Mentioning vampires - Iggy Pop, Moby, Alice Cooper and Henry Rollins are among the musicians lined up to appear in an upcoming vampire comedy. Canadian writer-director Rob Stefaniuk cast the musicians in the movie which is entitled ‘Suck’ and centres “around a rock’n’roll band that will do anything to become famous...” The film is set to begin shooting later this month.
