Netflix's latest new action comedy The Union might not have fared very well with critics – currently sitting at 42 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes – but it's nonetheless risen to the top of the streamer's movie chart over the weekend.

Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry lead the relatively starry cast of the film, which follows a New Jersey construction worker after he's recruited by his high school sweetheart for a high-stakes US intelligence mission.

Throughout the film, a number of well-known tracks from some big-name stars can be heard – with artists as diverse as Bill Withers, Bruce Springsteen, Charli XCX and Natalie Cole heard over the course of the movie.

Read on for the full list of songs featured, in addition to details about the original score penned by Wonder Woman's Rupert Gregson-Williams.
