Burnout Paradise is the seventh video game in the Burnout series. It was developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts. Burnout Paradise was released in January 2008 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and on February 5, 2009 for Microsoft Windows. The soundtrack utilizes the EA Trax program and can be played in sequential or random order. There is also the option to restrict when a specific song plays to a certain event in-game, as well as the ability to remove a song from the playlist. Songs are played through "Crash FM", the game's fictional radio station featuring commentary and racing tips from "DJ Atomika", the radio station's fictional host. The soundtrack, featuring 40 licensed tracks, consists mainly of pop punk, post hardcore, and alternative rock songs. In addition, the soundtrack also includes music from previous games in the Burnout series, as well as some classical music.
