The top two spots of the Billboard 200 remain ice cold this week, as Frozen takes the No. 1 album spot for the second week in a row.

After finally surpassing Beyoncé's surprise self-titled album last week for the top album sales in the US, the breakout Disney film did it once again this week, albeit with vastly diminished numbers. The soundtrack to Frozen comes in at No. 1 this week with a small 86,000 copies (roughly half of what it sold last week). However, in the largely empty January release month, that is more than enough to reach the top spot.

This continues Frozen's reign as the best-performing Disney film in some time. Not only is it about to surpass The Lion King with the most money made in box office, but Frozen is also the first Disney soundtrack to spend multiple weeks at No. 1 since Simba and Elton John roared onto the charts in 1994.

Meanwhile, Queen Bey also remains stagnant with Beyoncé. The best-selling female solo album of 2013 notched 79,000 copies last week and grabbed the No. 2 spot.

The lone debut of the Billboard 200 top 10 arrives at No. 3. Rapper Kid Ink's first full-length LP My Own Lane moved 50,000 copies.

With the blank, snowy vast that is January, small album sales followed, with R. Kelly's Black Panties sneaking into the No. 10 slot with a mere 17,000 copies (and some change).

Between No. 3 and No. 10 is a whole load of familiar fare. Check out spots 4 through 9 below:

4. Eminem, Marshall Mathers LP 2, 36,000 copies
5. Lorde, Pure Heroine, 33,000 copies
6. One Direction, Midnight Memories, 24,000 copies
7. Katy Perry, PRISM, 23,000 copies
8. Miley Cyrus, Bangerz, 20,000 copies
9. Imagine Dragons, Night Visions, 17,000 copies
