The album has held the top spot of the Billboard 200 for 11 weeks, beating out the previous record-holder, 1994’s _The Lion King_ soundtrack, which hit No. 1 for 10 weeks. Last week was also the _Frozen_ soundtrack’s biggest sales week ever since its November release, shifting 259,000 copies — almost double the previous week’s 133,000. Billboard reports that the album, which has sold 2.3 million copies to date, benefited from Easter holiday shopping, as family-friendly albums from One Direction and Kidz Bop also experienced major sales boosts during the same period. Yet even the world’s reigning boy band can’t compete with [Kristen Bell singing like a baby about snowmen](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyVUScALsdo "undefined"). \[[_Billboard_](http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/chart-alert/6062876/frozens-11th-week-at-no-1-with-biggest-sales-yet "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/74085/frozen-soundtrack-charts/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/74085/frozen-soundtrack-charts/"},"headline":"Easter Gives Frozen Soundtrack Its Best Sales Week Yet","datePublished":"2014-04-23T18:35:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:27:37.169Z","description":"The soundtrack's sales topped 2.3 million last week thanks in part to an Easter shopping blitz","url":"https://time.com/74085/frozen-soundtrack-charts/","keywords":["Music","Billboard","Frozen","Disney","Let it Go"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/74085/frozen-soundtrack-charts/","name":"Easter Gives Frozen Soundtrack Its Best Sales Week Yet"}}]}] ```
