{{nihongo|Top wo Nerae! Ongaku-shū|トップをねらえ！音楽集||lit. Aim for the Top! Music Collection}} is a soundtrack compilation for Gunbuster, released by FlyingDog on 26 March 2013, exclusively on music download and streaming media platforms. The album compiles the first two soundtracks, omitting the opening and ending themes, radio dramas, and character voice clips. The track "Honō no Tokkun" is also omitted due to its similarity to Vangelis' "Chariots of Fire".{{cite web |url=https://open.spotify.com/album/7o9sfg1C31MdFhv1QBpizb |title=トップをねらえ! 音楽集 |website=Spotify |access-date=11 December 2023 |archive-date=10 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231210220335/https://open.spotify.com/album/7o9sfg1C31MdFhv1QBpizb |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://mora.jp/package/43000005/VEAHD-10573_F/ |title=トップをねらえ！音楽集 |website=mora |access-date=11 December 2023 |archive-date=10 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231210220334/https://mora.jp/package/43000005/VEAHD-10573_F/ |url-status=live }}
