As Spring nears, “Frozen” will spread one more cool blast over the Billboard 200 as the soundtrack is poised to return to the top spot one more time. In its 16th week, the set will likely bounce up from No. 3 with projected sales of up to 80,000.
That would be enough to narrowly beat Luke Bryan”s “Spring Break 6: Like We Ain”t Never” EP, which looks like it will more up to 75,000 units, according to Hits Daily Double, to make it the highest new entry.

As for the rest of the Top 10: this week”s chart topper, Rick Ross”s “Mastermind,” likely drops to No. 3 (40,000-45,000), and Pharrell Williams” “G I R L” to No. 4 (40,000-45,000).
Lorde”s “Pure Heroine” will be at No. 9 (24,000-27,000) and Eric Church”s “The Outsiders” at No. 10 (22,000-25,000).
