  1. How ‘1989’ Edged Out ‘Frozen’ as the No. 1 Album of 2014, and Vice Versa Richard Aquilone

  2. What do you think was the most popular album of 2014? The answer depends on who you ask and what number they count. • If you are a traditionalist, Taylor Swift’s “1989,” which has sold over 3.5 million copies in the US in formats like CDs and downloads, which just beat Disney’s “Frozen” soundtrack, which sold 3.53 million copies. • But when you include streaming services such as YouTube and Spotify changes the outlook. Under this view, “Frozen” was consumed in 4.47 million “album equivalent units,” a new measurement which was introduced late last year by Billboard and SoundScan. By this method, “1989”, came in at 4.40 million. • “There is definitely a consumer shift, as the digital consumer seems to be moving away from downloads and toward streaming in massive amounts,” said David Bakula, an analyst at Nielsen.
