Disney's 'Frozen' soundtrack climbs to No. 1 on Billboard 200, first animated soundtrack to do so since 'Curious George'

The soundtrack to Disney's new hit animated feature film Frozen just can't "Let It Go." Seven weeks after the album was released, it has hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, finally dethroning Beyoncé's surprise self-titled album.

According to Billboard, the Frozen soundtrack sold 165,000 copies this week, rising three spots and moving enough to cinch the No. 1 spot in a week with very few new music releases.

After Frozen was one of the top-selling tickets at the movie box office over the holiday season, the soundtrack got a 55 percent sales boost (an iTunes sale also helped the soundtrack's cause). This makes Frozen the first Disney movie soundtrack to reach No. 1 since Pocahontas in 1995. It's also only the fourth animated soundtrack to reach the top spot of all time. Soundtracks to The Lion King (1994) and Curious George (2006) also reached the chart's peak.

Frozen was able to bump Beyoncé from the top spot, as Queen Bey slips down one spot to No. 2. After surpassing one million copies last week, the album sold another 130,000 copies over the last seven days.

Due to the New Year's holiday, last week saw few new releases, so there are no debuts in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 this week, and there's a significant dip in sales after No. 2. Eminem's MMLP2 remains in the third spot with 55,000 copies, followed closely by Katy Perry's Prism, which comes in at No. 4 with 51,000.

Lorde and One Direction proved they are the youths who cannot be stopped. Pure Heroine climbed two spots to No. 5 (46,000 copies), slightly ahead of 1D's Midnight Memories, which sold 45,000 units. Luke Bryan's Crash My Party also trails close behind at the No. 7 spot with 43,000 albums sold.

OneRepublic's April 2013 album Native rose 11 spots from No. 19 to 8 this week with 35,000 copies sold. The band's newly heightened position follows a small 3 percent loss in sales, likely helped by its hit single "Counting Stars," which notched a No. 3 spot on the Hot 100 last week.

Now 48 and Imagine Dragons Night Visions round out the top 10, with 34,000 and 31,000 albums sold, respectively.
