Disney’s ‘Frozen’ Soundtrack Rules Album Chart For A Second Week, Keeps Beyonce At Bay

As noted yesterday, industry projections saw Beyonce‘s self-titled fifth album returning to the top spot on the Billboard 200 for a fourth non-consecutive week, after being toppled by Disney’s Frozen soundtrack last week, but the latter has hung in there and retains the #1 position. As of Monday (January 13), the charming animated smash has earned a staggering $318 million in theaters, according to Box Office Mojo, and its accompanying soundtrack moved another 86,000 copies last week. (Beyonce sold 79,000, and holds at #2 on the album chart.)

Billboard points out that Frozen is the first theatrical film soundtrack to maintain the top position for multiple weeks since Dreamgirls spent two weeks at #1 in early 2007. In an ironic twist, Dreamgirls, of course, starred Beyonce. To-date, the Frozen soundtrack has sold 589,000 copies, while Beyonce stands at 1.5 million in its fifth week.
