The Madden franchise has always been known for its heart pumping action on the gridiron and its vast selection of hit music that ends up being a dull roar in the background of the full contact sport we know as football.

This time around theres 27 artists ranging from the newest of artists to oldest of bands and artists.

Steve Schnur, Electronic Arts' Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing, had this to say about the new soundtrack:

"The annual goal of the Madden NFL soundtrack is to give unprecedented exposure to new artists, bring established stars to a whole new level, and single-handedly define the sound of the coming year via the biggest sports franchise in video game history. Radio is adding songs based on a band's inclusion in the game. Video channels are creating their playlists based on the soundtrack. Simply put, Madden moves music forward. And this year's soundtrack is perhaps our most daring and effective mix of artists ever."
