• The "Frozen" soundtrack will become the first album to sell more than 1 million copies in 2014 next week.
• Ashanti's "Braveheart" in miraculously making the top 10 has maintained her flawless top 10 albums record.
• Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending March 9) totaled 5 million units, down 1% compared with the sum last week (5.1 million) and down 9% compared with the comparable sales week of 2013 (5.5 million).

Pleased with how this week turned out :D 112k for Pharrell is a tad disappointing but not that bad at all and a huge improvement on the ~85k that was initially predicted. Ashanti making the top 10 is amazing too, I know she's still totally irrelevant and all but it's great how loyal fanbases are in the US.

 

Yikes at ARTPOP though, could be gone within a month :o

Never noticed Little Mix plummeted #56-#99 last week. At least they've recovered somewhat thanks to their promo to get another week in the top 100.

 

If it wasn't for my chart-following ways I would be utterly unaware as to the existence of 'Frozen'. Haven't noticed trailers/billboards/anything. It's obviously had a massive cultural impact though if it's sold 1.3 million copies of its soundtrack in the U.S and has made a global chart hit out of 'Let It Go'. Extremely impressive. (And I'm aware it just won an Oscar btw :P).

 

Amazing that 'Unorthodox Jukebox' is still selling so well. It should outsell its predecessor in a couple of months, which was at 2.21 million last month.

BILLBOARD 200

** 187 BABYMETAL - BABYMETAL (NEW)

 

J-Pop, or should I say J-Metal :lol:

 

Shame there's no accompanying Billboard article so we could see some stats, like they did for 2NE1 and Girls' Generation.

 

Really not sure what to make of this ...

 

 

:lol:

 

 

 

Was Elbow's album released in the US a week ahead of the UK? :unsure:

 

Yay for Kodaline. And BABYMETAL. The demand is real *_*

 

Was Elbow's album released in the US a week ahead of the UK? :unsure:

I was surprised by that as well.
