Taylor Swift Music: '1989' Album is Top Selling Album of 2014, 'Frozen' Comes in Second
Pop singer Taylor Swift finished the year with her latest album "1989" making the 2014 top selling album and Walt Disney Records' "Frozen" soundtrack making the runner-up, Billboard reported.
With Swift's album on sale for just nine weeks, the record stole the title away from "Frozen" which was on the top list of the year's best selling album up until the very last tracking frame of 2014.
The Big Machine Records album sold 3.66 million copies for the year while Disney's album made 3.53 million sells. Just a week before the tracking frame was ending, the "Blank Space" singer's album fell behind "Frozen" with about 3.34 million sales.
In the last week, the Disney soundtrack made 64,000 sells while Taylor's "1989" album made well over 300,000 surpassing "Frozen" by a long shot.
This would not be the first time Taylor Swift won the title of top-selling album. Back in 2009, the "Shake It Off" singer won the title for her "Fearless" album, which made 3.22 million sales that year.
It is the first time that an album snatched the title away from another in just the last week of the year. It was already predicted that "Frozen" would make the top-selling album of the year until Taylor's album sells made a great leap of faith.
In 2012, Swift's "Red" album was the second bestselling album of the year, Yahoo! Music has reported. The artist has finished in the year's top three, five times already in her career.
"Frozen" still made a great accomplishment being the first theatrically-themed movie soundtrack album to finish the year as the second bestselling album since "Titanic" made the top on the list way back in 1998.
"High School Musical" was the bestselling album of 2006 and its sequel made number two in the following year.
