The soundtrack for Disney’s record-breaking animated film Frozen 2 has officially been #1 on the Billboard charts for the fifth-longest-run in history.

According to Broadwayworld.com:

Frozen 2 is officially the 5th longest-running number 1 in the history of Billboard’s Soundtracks Chart! The soundtrack has had 4.4 billion global streams and is platinum-certified in the United States.

This soundtrack, created by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez added unforgettable songs to the Disney library such as “Into the Unknown,” “Show Yourself,” and “Lost in the Woods.” And the songs found a permanent place in the hearts of Disney fans thanks to a film brought to life by Directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, Producer Peter Del Vecho, and a returning cast that featured the voices of  Idina Menzel (Elsa), Kristen Bell (Anna), Jonathan Groff (Christoff), and Josh Gad (Olaf).

But this is only the latest milestone for Frozen 2. Earning over $1.3 billion at the global box office, the musical became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time and Walt Disney Studios’ sixth 2019 release to earn over $1 billion at the box office.  And this news comes shortly after Disney had to close Frozen on Broadway due to the global pandemic shuttering theaters for several months.
