The countdown to Christmas is in full swing and, while there's plenty to look forward to over the festive season, including Christmas TV, present shopping and parties, nothing quite beats a good festive film.

And one classic that's well worth revisiting is Love Actually, which follows several interconnected love stories in the countdown to Christmas.

The action is perfectly mirrored by a brilliant score from composer Craig Armstrong, as well as a handful of pop songs.

So, if you're ready to dance along to Jump with Hugh Grant and crying to Both Sides Now with Emma Thompson, read on for the full Love Actually soundtrack list and score.

There are actually two different versions of the soundtrack for Love Actually - one for the UK and one for the US.
