The official soundtrack for The Prince of Egypt was released on November 17, 1998, and featured songs from the movie, as well as songs not used in the film. The album peaked at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's Top Contemporary Christian chart, and No. 25 on the Billboard 200 chart.
In addition to the official soundtrack, collector's edition, country and inspirational tie-in albums were also released. These other albums contained music that was not featured in the movie but rather inspired by the Biblical story of Exodus.
The album also spawned a pair of hit singles. The first track, "When You Believe", was a duet performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, while the sixteenth track, "Through Heaven's Eyes", was performed by R&B duo K-Ci & JoJo, and the album's final track, "I Will Get There", was performed a cappella by R&B quartet Boyz II Men.
