Let the storm rage on. For the sixth, nonconsecutive week, the soundtrack to Disney's Frozen tops the US Albums Chart on the Billboard 200.

According to Billboard, the unstoppable album sold less than 1000 copies than it did last week, dipping from 100,000 to 99,000 units sold. However, after major dips for last week's Nos. 1 and 2 albums, Rick Ross' Mastermind and Pharrell Williams' G I R L, 99k was enough to secure the top spot in the country.

As if The Lion King comparisons couldn't stop otherwise, Billboard noted that this is the most successful Disney soundtrack album since Simba and co. roared at the No. 1 spot for 10 weeks in 1994 and 1995.

A new release slid in beneath Frozen, with country singer Luke Bryan's new EP Spring Break 6... Like We Ain't Ever debuting at No. 2 with 74,000 copies. As one could surmise, this is the sixth release in Bryan's Spring Break series, which dates back to 2009. His last effort for the spring, last year's compilation album Spring Break... Here To Party debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 150,000 copies.

Another new release dropped in at No. 4, with Aloe Blacc's third studio album Lift Your Spirit selling 45,000 copies. It should be no surprise that this is the best showing for the soul singer, as he experienced big success with "The Man" and with Avicii on "Wake Me Up" before this effort's debut.

Blacc's new album is snuggled between two of last week's releases, Ross' Mastermind at No. 3 (49,000 copies) and Pharrell's G I R L at No. 5 (45,000 copies).

A week full of new releases also includes rock band 311's new set Stereolythic (which dropped on March 11) at No. 6, Young Money Record's Rise Of An Empire at No. 7 (31,000 copies) and Sara Evans' new album Slow Me Down at No. 9 with 27,000 copies sold.

Lorde's Pure Heroine and Eric Church's The Ousiders remain familiar fare on the chart, rounding things out at No. 8 and No. 10, respectively.
