'Frozen' Spends 10th Week at No. 1 On Billboard 200; Sales Climb Past 2 Million

The unstoppable soundtrack to Disney's "Frozen" continues its run atop the Billboard 200 as it clocks a 10th nonconsecutive week at No. 1. The set sold 133,000 copies in the week ending April 1. That's -11% compared with the previous frame. The album’s cumulative sales also climb past the 2 million mark, as its additional 133,000 copies bring its to-date sum to 2.1 million.

"Frozen" is now one of just 11 albums to have spent at least 10 weeks at No. 1 since the chart started using SoundScan's point-of-sale data on May 25, 1991. In addition, "Frozen" now ties "The Lion King" for the most weeks at No. 1 for an animated film soundtrack.

At No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200 is Pharrell's "G I R L," which rebounds back to its peak, rising seven slots with 29,000 (+18%). However, the album also logs the smallest weekly sum for the No. 2-selling album on the Billboard 200 in the SoundScan era.

Back on this week's Billboard 200, 5 Seconds of Summer's "She Looks So Perfect" EP slips 2-3 with 26,000 in its second week (-82%).

MercyMe earns the chart's highest debut, as the group's "Welcome to the New" arrives at No. 4 with 26,000. On the Christian Albums chart, the new album gives MercyMe its eighth No. 1.

Rock band Black Label Society picks up its second top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with the No. 5 bow of "Catacombs of the Black Vatican" (nearly 26,000). "Catacombs of the Black Vatican" also enters at No. 1 on Top Rock Albums and Hard Rock Albums.

R&B singer SoMo’s self-titled second album starts at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, selling 23,000 in its first week. It's easily the best week ever for the artist, as his 2012 debut effort, "My Life," missed the chart entirely.

Martina McBride is the fourth and final debut in the top 10 this week, as her new covers album "Everlasting" enters at No. 7 with 21,000. It also starts at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, her fifth No. 1 on that tally.

Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" jumps 15-8 (19,000; +14%).

Although Shakira also performed on the ACMs, her self-titled album falls 5-9 (17,000; -41%) in its third week.

Florida Georgia Line,returns to the top 10, climbing 19-10 with "Here's to the Good Times" (just over 17,000; up 14 percent).

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending April 13) totaled 4.3 million units, -11% compared with the sum last week (4.9 million) and -21% compared with the comparable sales week of 2013 (5.4 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 70.9 million, -17% compared with the same total at this point last year (85.1 million).

At No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200 is Pharrell's "G I R L," which rebounds back to its peak, rising seven slots with 29,000 (up 18 percent).

OMG


Because of the No. 2 album's low sales, the divide between it and the No. 1 title is especially great: "Frozen" sold 353 percent more than "G I R L." The last time the percentage was greater — and the No. 1 album wasn't a new entry — was way back on the Sept. 8, 2007 chart. That week, the "High School Musical 2" soundtrack was in its second week at No. 1, and it sold 507 percent more than the No. 2 set, Talib Kweli's arriving "Eardrum" (307,000 vs. 60,000).
