After a two-week rule of the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 albums chart -- and four weeks atop the list overall -- the "Frozen" soundtrack steps aside, letting the new "Now 49" hits compilation open atop the list.
"Now 49" debuts with 98,000 copies sold in the week ending February 9, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Meanwhile, "Frozen" slips to No. 2 with 88,000 (down 6%).
Bruno Mars' "Unorthodox Jukebox" climbs 7-3 with 81,000 (up 92%) in the wake of the first full week of impact after his Super Bowl halftime show performance on February 2. His first album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," just misses re-entering the top 10, as it glides 19-11 with 26,000 (up 58%).
At No. 4 on the Billboard 200 this week is the chart's second-highest debut: Toni Braxton & Babyface's "Love, Marriage & Divorce" with 67,000. The album starts stronger than expected, as last week, industry sources had forecasted the set to start with perhaps 60,000.
Broken Bells and Little Mix are up next in the Billboard 200's top 10, as their latest efforts start at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively.
Broken Bells' "After the Disco" bows with 44,000, while Little Mix's "Salute" starts with 43,000. It's the second album, and second top 10 set, for both acts. Broken Bells' self-titled debut reached No. 7 in 2010 (49,000 first week) and Little Mix's debut, "DNA," launched at No. 4 in 2013 (50,000 first week).
As for the rest of the top 10 this week:
Beyonce's self-titled album dips 5-7 with 38,000 (down 20%), Lorde's "Pure Heroine" falls 3-8 with just over 35,000 (down 48%), the "2014 Grammy Nominees" compilation tumbles 2-9 with 35,000 (down 60%) and Katy Perry's "PRISM" descends 9-10 with 27,000 (down 12%).
