Top 15
YOUR TOP 15: As the Frozen DVD flies out of stores by the boatload—the latest projections have it finishing the week with an astounding 7-10 million—the soundtrack album is set to rule next week’s chart with a total that will likely exceed twice what it sold last week. In the modern chart era, the Frozen soundtrack is well on its way to setting a record for the most units gained by a soundtrack in the week of the film’s home video release, increasing by more than 100k. Previously, The Lion King and Twilight were leaders with increases of 50-55k.

Frozen (Walt Disney) 200-225k
* YG (CTE/Def Jam/IDJ) 55-60k
* Foster the People (Columbia) 55-60k
* Skrillex (Big Beat/Atlantic) 45-50k
Pharrell Williams (Columbia) 30-35k
* The Pretty Reckless (Razor & Tie) 28-32k
Rick Ross (Def Jam/IDJ) 25-28k
Lorde (Lava/Republic) 21-24k

Now, if you don't mind, we'll get back to obsessively checking our brackets while pretending to work—doing our parts to contribute to the nationwide drop in productivity that occurs every year on the first Thursday of March Madness. Dayton?! Harvard?! There goes our billion bucks. (3/20p)
