March 13, 201411 yr Author BILLBOARD: 'Frozen' Flirting With Return to No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart Billboard (March 12, 2014): "The soundtrack to "Frozen" is flirting with a return to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart next week. Industry sources suggest the album might sell upwards of 80,000 to 90,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, March 16. That could be enough to fend off the week's biggest new release, Luke Bryan's "Spring Break 6… Like We Ain't Ever" EP. The latter six-song set -- part of Bryan's long-running spring break-themed EP series -- may sell around 70,000. After Bryan, next week's highest debut will likely be Aloe Blacc's "Life Your Spirit," with maybe 40,000." http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/...board-200-chart

This coincides with the movie’s physical DVD release next Tuesday and (alongside the explosion of the Idina Menzel-sung, Oscar-winning "Let It Go") could provide the ammunition for a repeat at #1 the following week."

March 14, 201411 yr Is this "Spring Break" series ever going to end :drama: Interesting to see Pharrell is expected to sell about the same as Rick Ross, I can see "G I R L" ending up higher than the Rick album which would be a great achievement for him. Looks like very low sales outside the top 2 though, 40-45k seems very poor in comparison to usual levels? :unsure:

March 15, 201411 yr Is the Nielsen thing posted throughout the week or just after 4 days of tracking? Surprised and more than a bit displeased to see Luke at #1 right now! Though then again he'll be more frontloaded than Frozen anyway so it's hardly sewn up.

Though then again he'll be more frontloaded than Frozen anyway so it's hardly sewn up. It's the only thing that's made available. Other thing is Hits Daily Double, which is more of a guide. Not always accurate (they left off Nickleback during its first week).
