\n\tOn Friday (Nov. 21), Wicked: For Good<\/em> touched down, bringing a close to the Jon M. Chu-directed adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. Starring Cynthia Erivo<\/a> as the viridescent vigilante Elphaba and Ariana Grande<\/a> as the magnetic and charismatic Glinda, the film tells the story of what happens after Elphaba becomes \u201cThe Wicked Witch of the West\u201d and Glinda is named \u201cthe Good\u201d by her Ozian caretakers. <\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with providing the final chapter of the story, Wicked: For Good <\/em>also comes along with two brand new songs created just for the film \u2014 \u201cNo Place Like Home\u201d and \u201cThe Girl in the Bubble,\u201d sung by Erivo and Grande, respectively, and written by legendary composer Stephen Schwartz. Both those new songs, as well as the rest of the Act II tracks appear on Wicked: For Good \u2014 The Soundtrack<\/a>, <\/em>a collection of the film\u2019s 11 songs. <\/p>\n

\n\tFans of the musical will be quick to spot the changes in the music made for the film, with some benefitting the new soundtrack, while others don\u2019t quite hit the mark. But the performances throughout both the film and the LP remain as strong as ever, with Erivo and Grande in particular carrying the weight of this impressive soundtrack on their capable shoulders. <\/p>\n

\n\tWith both films officially out, the question remains \u2014 which songs from Wicked <\/em>and Wicked: For Good<\/em> soar high above the rest, and which ones don\u2019t quite stick the landing? Below, Billboard <\/em>ranks all 22 songs from Wicked<\/em> and Wicked: For Good<\/em>, both in comparison to their original counterparts and in their ability to stand alone as singular pieces of movie musical excellence. And be warned; there are spoilers ahead for both of the Wicked <\/em>films.<\/p>\n
