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

By: Keith Caulfield

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 13, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's down 11 percent compared with the previous frame, when it sold 149,000 at No. 1.

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. Four of those 11 albums also happen to be soundtracks: “Frozen,” Whitney Houston's "The Bodyguard" (20 weeks at No. 1), "Titanic" (16 weeks) and "The Lion King" (10 weeks).

In addition, "Frozen" now ties "The Lion King" for the most weeks at No. 1 for an animated film soundtrack.

As previously reported, "Frozen" has spent more weeks at No. 1 than any album since Adele's "21" racked up 24 nonconsecutive weeks in the penthouse in 2011 and 2012. It spent its 24th and final week at No. 1 on the chart dated June 23, 2012.

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). During the tracking week, Pharrell performed on ABC's "Good Morning America" (April 7) and was profiled on CBS' "Sunday Morning" (April 13). "G I R L" also benefits from Pharrell's performance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" on April 5.

"G I R L" debuted at No. 2 on the chart dated March 22 and has yet to leave the top 10 after six weeks. However, the album also logs the smallest weekly sum for the No. 2-selling album on the Billboard 200 in the SoundScan era. The previous low was 34,000, when Foo Fighters' "Wasting Light" was in the runner-up slot on the chart dated May 14, 2011.

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).

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 (down 82 percent).

MercyMe earns the chart's highest debut, as the group's "Welcome to the New" arrives at No. 4 with 26,000. It's the third top 10 effort for the act — and third in a row — following "The Hurt & the Healer" (No. 7 in 2012) and "The Generous Mr. Lovewell" (No. 3 in 2010).

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). The act's last studio release, 2010's "Order of the Black," debuted and peaked at No. 4, selling 33,000 in its first week.

"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. (However, it did reach No. 24 on our new-artist chart: Heatseekers Albums.)

Singer 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.

"Everlasting" is McBride's highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 since 2007's "Waking Up Laughing" debuted and peaked at No. 4.

As for the rest of the top 10 this week, LukeBryan's "Crash My Party" jumps 15-8 (19,000; up 14 percent) in the wake of his exposure on the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 6. Bryan co-hosted the show with Blake Shelton and performed his latest single, "Play It Again."

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

Another ACMs performer, 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). It's the highest rank for the album since the chart dated Aug. 31, 2013, when it was at No. 8. Florida Georgia Line performed twice on the ACMs, singing "Stay" and "That's How We Roll" (the latter with Bryan).

Over on the Digital Songs chart, the top four titles are all non-movers, as Pharrell's "Happy" leads for a ninth straight week (257,000; down 9 percent). John Legend's "All of Me" is No. 2 (197,000; down 14 percent); Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty," featuring 2 Chainz, is No. 3 (162,000; up 4 percent); and Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" is No. 4 (152,000; down 2 percent).

The chart's highest debut comes in at No. 5: Ed Sheeran's "Sing" with 123,000. It's his second-biggest sales week yet, following the post-Christmas haul of "The A Team" (181,000) in the week ending Dec. 30, 2012.

Katy Perry's "Dark Horse," featuring Juicy J, falls 5-6 with 111,000 (down 9 percent), and Bryan's "Play It Again" rises 8-7 with 108,000 (up 24 percent). DJ Snake & Lil Jon's "Turn Down for What" is pushed down one slot to No. 8 with 95,000 (down 1 percent), and Aloe Blacc's "The Man" dips 6-9 with 89,000 (down 17 percent).

Florida Georgia Line's "This Is How We Roll" (featuring Bryan) ascends 11-10 with 86,000 (up 10 percent).

With Bryan at Nos. 7 and 10, he becomes the first male country artist to have two concurrent titles in the top 10 since the chart launched Oct. 30, 2004. The only country act to manage the feat previously was Taylor Swift (she has done it 10 times).

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

Digital track sales this past week totaled 21.7 million downloads, up 1 percent compared with last week (21.4 million) and down 15 percent stacked next to the comparable week of 2013 (25.5 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 355.1 million, down 13 percent compared with the same total at this point last year (410.3 million).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2013 when: Fall Out Boy debuted at No. 1 with "Save Rock & Roll," selling 154,000 copies in its first week. It beat out Kid Cudi's "Indicud," which started at No. 2 with 136,000.

Album sales are scary

Yeah... without Frozen, the #1 album would have sold 29,000. Ouch.

[Wave.]

That meant Pharrell could've bounced back to #1!. Damn you Frozen!

[grandelf]

Is that an all-time low for the #10 album as well?

[HolidayGuy]

In the SoundScan era- and not long ago- I recall 19,000 or so, at least, for No. 10. Not sure if it's gone below that before. If up to date, the historical thread in this forum probably has the answer. :)

[Gary]

As streaming accelerates , sales will become less and less of a factor in determining what is popular

[ListenToItTwice]

Among 2010s albums, Frozen has now outsold Marshall Mathers 2 to reach #19. Next week will bring it past Night Visions, Take Care, The Gift and (probably) Unorthodox Jukebox to hit #15.

Edit: scratch that "probably" in front of Unorthodox Jukebox; Frozen is projected to sell close to 200k next week. (It may also pass Doo-Wops & Hooligans and Tailgates and Tanlines)!

[areyoureadytojump]

Will this week be a SoundScan era low for album sales?

EDIT

The previous low was 4.252 million in January.

I think this week is a little higher than that.

I'm glad this week is Easter. Gift giving will help with album sales.

Chart Watch: 10 Fun Facts About “Frozen”
By Paul Grein, Yahoo! Chart Watch

The "Frozen" soundtrack logs its 10th week at #1 on The Billboard 200, which ties "The Lion King" for the longest run at #1 ever for a soundtrack from an animated movie. Both albums spawned Oscar-winning ballads: "Let It Go" and "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," respectively.

And "Frozen" will probably stay on top for at least three more weeks. (Three high-profile albums are due for release on May 6 that are vying for #1: "Now 50," a still-untitled Mariah Carey album and Hunter Hayes's "Storyline.")

The soundtrack's staying power is remarkable. Even after 20 weeks in release, "Frozen" sold more copies this week (133K) than the week's next five best-selling albums combined (130K).

To commemorate the album's on-going dominance, here's an avalanche of 10 fun facts about "Frozen."

1."Frozen" tops the 2 million mark in U.S. sales this week. It's the first soundtrack from a theatrically-released movie to reach the 2 million sales plateau since Miley Cyrus's "Hannah Montana: The Movie," which has sold 2,085,000 copies since its release in 2009.

2. It's the first soundtrack from an animated movie to reach 2 million since "Shrek," which has sold 2,475,000 copies since its release in 2001.

3. "Frozen" is the first album to log 10 or more weeks at #1 since Adele's "21," which amassed 24 weeks on top in 2011-2012.

4. It's the first soundtrack to log 10 or more weeks at #1 since "Titanic," which had 16 consecutive weeks on top in 1998. That album also spawned an Oscar-winning ballad.

5. This is the album's 16th week in the top five. "Frozen" is the first soundtrack from a theatrically-released movie to spend that many weeks in the top five since "City Of Angels" had a 16-week run from April to August 1998.

6. "Frozen" sold 38K digital copies this week, which puts it back atop the Digital Albums chart. This is its seventh week at #1 on that chart, which is more than any other soundtrack in the chart's history. ("Juno" headed the digital chart for six weeks in 2007-2008.)

7. "Frozen" has sold 929K digital copies. That's more than any other soundtrack in history. "Pitch Perfect" is in second place (767K). "Frozen" is close to becoming the 10th album in digital history to sell 1 million digital copies.

8. "Frozen" is #1 on Top Soundtracks for the 20th week. The movie was in the top 20 at the box-office for the 20th weekend.

9. "Frozen" may well wind up as the best-selling album of 2014. It would be only the fourth soundtrack from a theatrically-released movie to take that title since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking music sales in 1991. It would follow Whitney Houston's "The Bodyguard" (1993), "The Lion King" (1994) and "Titanic" (1998).

10. "Frozen" would be the sixth soundtrack from a theatrically-released movie to wind up as the #1 album of the year on Billboard's year-end charts (which date to 1956). It would follow "West Side Story" (which was #1 for both 1962 and 1963), "Mary Poppins" (1965), Bee Gees's "Saturday Night Fever" (1978), Houston's "The Bodyguard" (1993) and "Titanic" (1998).

MercyMe's eighth studio album, "Welcome To The New," debuts at #4. It's the Contemporary Christian group's third top 10 album in a row.

Black Label Society's 10th studio album, "Catacombs Of The Black Vatican," debuts at #5. It's the heavy metal band's second top five album, following "Order Of The Black," which hit #4 in 2010. (This isn't the first time The Vatican has gotten a name-check in the title of a top five album. Stone Temple Pilots's "Tiny Music…Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop" hit #4 in 1996.)

SoMo's eponymous second album debuts at #6. The album includes "Ride," which has climbed to #20 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. SoMo (Joseph Somers-Morales) is a 21-year old pop/R&B singer/songwriter.

Martina McBride's 11th studio album, "Everlasting," debuts at #7. It's McBride's seventh top 10 album. The covers collection enters Top Country Albums at #1, displacing Dan + Shay's "Where It All Began." It's McBride's fifth #1 country album. McBride has won the CMA award for Female Vocalist of the Year four times, an achievement matched only by Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert.

Florida Georgia Line's "Here's To The Good Times" rebounds from #19 to #10 in its 71st week. This is album's highest ranking since August. This is the third calendar year in which the album has cracked the top 10. The album debuted at #10 in December 2012. It reached its #4 peak in July 2013. The album has ranked in the top 30 in all but one of its 71 chart weeks. In the old days, an album with this kind of consistency would be at 5 million by now. Even in this tougher sales climate, it's at a healthy 1,763,000.

Pharrell Williams's "Happy" is #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the ninth consecutive week, with sales of 257K. It's the first song to log nine or more consecutive weeks at #1 on this chart since "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz, which had 10 straight weeks on top early last year. Will "Happy" log its eighth week at #1 on the Hot 100? You'll find out later today when we post my first of two Chart Watch Songs blogs.

Here's a recap of this week's top 10 albums.

The Top Five: The "Frozen" soundtrack holds at #1 for the 10th week in in its 20th week (133K). This is its 18th week in the top 10 … Pharrell Williams's "G I R L" rebounds from #9 to #2 in its sixth week (29K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time … 5 Seconds Of Summer's "She Looks So Perfect" dips from #2 to #3 in its second week (26K) … MercyMe's "Welcome To The New" debuts at #4 (26K). It's the group's third top 10 album … Black Label Society's "Catacombs Of The Black Vatican" debuts at #5 (26K). It's the group's second top 10 album.

The Second Five: SoMo's "SoMo" debuts at #6 (23K). It's his first top 10 album … Martina McBride's "Everlasting" debuts at #7 (21K). It's her seventh top 10 album … Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" rebounds from #15 to #8 in its 35th week (19K). This is its 14th week in the top 10 … Shakira's "Shakira" drops from #5 to #9 in its third week (17K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time … Florida Georgia Line's "Here's To The Real World" rebounds from #19 to #10 in its 71st week (17K). This is its 14th week in the top 10.

Six albums drop out of the top 10 this week. Chevelle's "La Gargola" drops from #3 to #15. Christina Perri's "Head Or Heart" drops from #4 to #23. Dan + Shay's "Where It All Began" drops from #6 to #25. Nickel Creek's "A Dotted Line" drops from #7 to #28. Johnny Cash's "Out Among The Stars" drops from #8 to #11. "Now 49" drops from #10 to #13.

Linda Ronstadt's "Duets" debuts at #32. Two of the tracks reached #2 on the Hot 100: "Somewhere Out There" (a duet with James Ingram) and "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The album also includes a duet with Frank Sinatra, "Moonlight In Vermont," which first appeared on his Grammy-winning "Duets 2" collection" in 1994.

Journey's 1988 album "Journey's Greatest Hits" rebounds from #71 to #44 in its 300th chart week. The album returns to #1 on Top Catalog Albums, displacing Newsboys's "God's Not Dead." This is its 15th week on top.

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" was #1 at the box-office for the second straight weekend. The soundtrack, featuring a score by Henry Jackman, sold 1K copies, too few to make The Billboard 200.

Metallica's "Through The Never" is #1 on Top Music Videos for the seventh week. The DVD has sold 70K copies in 12 weeks.

It isn't officially


cartman2002 has his own certifcation system

His post is not labeled very well and implies he is getting his info from an official source when in reality he calculates "certifications" himself based on his own method. He has been doing this a while, unless you understand what he does, it is best to just skip over it



areyoureadytojump monitors new certifications off RIAA pretty well.

Chart Moves: Journey's 'Greatest' Hits 300th Chart Week, Linda Ronstadt Scores Highest Charting Album Since 1990

By Keith Caulfield | April 18, 2014

This week on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the "Frozen" soundtrack spent its 10th nonconsecutive week at No. 1, selling 133,000 copies in the week ending April 13, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Four new entries arrived in the top 10, led by MercyMe's "Welcome to the New," at No. 4.

Outside the top 10, there were a number of movers and shakers -- let's take a closer look at some of them:

-- Eminem, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" - No. 20 - Eminem's total album sales creep past the 45 million mark, as he moves another 24,000 of his collected catalog (including 11,000 of this album). He's the sixth-best selling album artist of the 23-year SoundScan era.

-- Linda Ronstadt, "Duets" - No. 32 - New Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Linda Ronstadt roars back onto the Billboard 200, as her new compilation "Duets" debuts at No. 32 — her highest charting album since 1990.

The multi-genre performer last went higher with that year's "Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind" (featuring Aaron Neville), which peaked at No. 7 on March 17, 1990. That set spawned three hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the smash No. 2 cut "Don't Know Much," featuring Neville. (It also produced her so-far final Hot 100 entry, "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby," which topped out at No. 78.)

The new compilation -- which happens to include "Don't Know Much" -- boasts collaborations with Don Henley, Bette Midler, Frank Sinatra, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. Her No. 2 Hot 100 hit with James Ingram, "Somewhere Out There," is also included. (One previously-unreleased cut rounds out the 15-song collection: "Pretty Bird," with Laurie Lewis.)

-- Barry Manilow, "Night Songs" & Cher, "Closer to the Truth" - Nos. 43 and 48 - Web-based orders of "Night Songs" via Manilow's Website send the set surging back onto the list at No. 43 after a one-week absence (up 300%). Meanwhile, Cher's album returns at No. 48 thanks to a successful concert ticket/album bundle promotion (up 186%).

-- Journey, "Journey's Greatest Hits" - No. 44 - Journey's best-of celebrates its 300th week on the Billboard 200, as it climbs from No. 71 to No. 44. It becomes one of only five albums to have spent at least 300 weeks on the list since the tally combined its Mono and Stereo album charts into one all-encompassing list in August 1963. (The Billboard 200 became a regularly-compiled weekly chart in 1956, but split into two charts -- for mono and stereo albums -- in 1959. Then, in August of 1963, the mono and stereo lists were combined into one overall chart.)

"Journey's Greatest Hits" was released in 1988 and peaked at No. 10 the following year. The album consistently sells multiple thousands of copies per week, while its total sales stand at 15 million (according to the Recording Industry Association of America).

-- Patton Oswalt, "Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time" - No. 54 - Actor/comedian Patton Oswalt nets his fourth No. 1 on the Comedy Albums chart -- and highest charting set yet on the Billboard 200 -- as "Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time" arrives. The Comedy Central album bows at No. 54 on the latter list, selling 6,000 copies in the week ending April 13, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals" Time also gives the Comedy Central Records label its record-extending 32nd chart-topper on the Comedy Albums chart. That's a full 33% the total 95 No. 1s in the nine-year history of the list.

-- Adele, "21" - No. 84 - With 163 weeks spent in the top 100, it ties Zac Brown Band's "The Foundation" for the fourth-longest top 100 run since the chart began using SoundScan data (May 25, 1991). Metallica's self-titled album has logged the most weeks (232) in the region in that span.

-- Twenty One Pilots, "Vessel" - No. 187 - The album returns to the chart after three months (2,000, up 98%), thanks to the band's performance on the MTV Movie Awards (April 13). This is its best sales week since the week ending Jan. 5.
