Frozen 2 set several major records and it’s close to crossing the $1 billion mark in less than a month since its release, and its soundtrack is also a huge success. This hit record just reached the no. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

Disney movies always tend to give us a couple of catchy songs, but the success of this soundtrack is actually a pretty big deal. The soundtrack of an animated film hasn’t reached the top spot since the first Frozen came out and spent 13 weeks at no. 1 in 2014.

Despite the fact it didn’t give us a viral hit that could compete with “Let It Go”, Frozen 2 soundtrack features a couple of pretty amazing tracks, including a few performed by our favorite artists. Panic! at the Disco, Kacey Musgraves, and Weezer all agreed to record covers of new songs from the soundtrack, written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.

“Into the Unknown” is currently the biggest hit from this album. The original version performed by Idina Menzel peaked at no. 55 on Billboard Hot 100, and reached the top spot on Billboard’s Kid Digital Songs chart.
