Frozen finally had to let it go. After spending most of 2014 as the year's top-selling album, the soundtrack has given up its status to Taylor Swift's 1989.

Swift's album, released in October, has sold 3.661 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, overtaking the Disney movie soundtrack in the last sales week of the year. Frozen has amassed 3.53 million in sales in 2014 (though it has sold 3.865 million overall since its release in November 2013).

No other album has sold even 2 million copies in 2014. The No. 3 album of the year is Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour, at 1.21 million.

Swift's fifth album sold 326,000 copies last week to Frozen's 64,000. According to Billboard, it's the second time Swift has had the top-selling album of the year, having sold 3.22 million copies of her second album, Fearless, in 2009.
