It seems like Frozen won’t let go of the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 200.
The soundtrack continues to slay the albums chart at its 12th week at #1, selling another 115,000 copies this week. This brings its total number of copies sold to a whopping 2.5 million. Frozen remains the only album to have sold 1 million copies so far in 2014. The year’s second-biggest seller is Beyonce‘s self-titled set, with 648,000.
Future‘s sophomore album, Honest, debuted at #2 with 53,000 copies sold. It features the hit, “Move That Dope” featuring Pharrell, Pusha T, and Casino. Iggy Azalea‘s debut album, The New Classic, came in at #3 with 52,000 sold, not too far behind Future.
Iggy is on a great run with her Ariana Grande collabo currently topping the iTunes chart and The New Classic making history. It is the highest-charting rap album from a woman on the Billboard 200 since Nicki Minaj‘s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded debuted at No. 1 on the April 21, 2012 chart.
Last week, it was predicted that she would outsell Future, but in the end, the ATL rapper beat the Aussie baddie by a thousand copies. It all came down to physical and digital albums, as Honest sold 26,000 CDs, while The New Classic shifted just 10,000 CDs. But in terms of digital albums, The New Classic beat Honest — 43,000 vs. 27,000.
