Howard Shore's theme from The Lord of the Rings proved to be the runaway success story, stealing the No.1 spot with over double the number of votes that Hans Zimmer's Gladiator theme, which also made a big impact at No. 2. Overall however, prolific composer John Williams achieved more entries than anyone else, with his famous scores making up at a fifth of the entries in our chart.
