The Kingdom Hearts series has ranked an impressive 30th in the 2015 Classic FM Hall of Fame, a jump of 147 places from last year. The Classic FM Hall of Fame is an annual compilation of the 300 most popular classical works as polled by listeners of Classic FM. Classic FM is one of the United Kingdom's three Independent National Radio stations.

Congratulations to Yoko Shimomura, the composer of the Kingdom Hearts series and Square Enix who also had the Final Fantasy series rank at 9th.

I have mixed feelings about the Classic FM thing really; I'm friends with the guy who runs the campaign to get people to vote for game music, and I love game music - my physical FF music CD collection is over 120 CD sets at this point - but sometimes I think it doesn't entirely belong on this list, at least not as high as it does.. It takes a lot to touch the old classical music's finest.

But hey ho! This is amazing news all the same.
