The soundtrack, featuring eight original songs from husband-and-wife songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez ("Winnie the Pooh") and Tony Award winner Robert Lopez (Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon) and a score by Christophe Beck ("Paperman," "The Muppets"), currently stands at No. 10 on the charts. 

According to Billboard, "Frozen" is the tenth soundtrack from an animated feature film to reach the top ten and the first since Disney/Pixar's "Cars" in 2006. Other soundtracks to hit the top ten include "Aladdin," "The Lion King," "Pocahontas," "Tarzan," "Pokemon: The First Movie," "Shrek 2," "Curious George" and "Space Jam." 

The soundtrack includes the end-credit recording of Anderson-Lopez and Lopez's "Let It Go," performed by Demi Lovato.

Directed by Chris Buck ("Tarzan," "Surf's Up") and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter "Wreck-It Ralph") from a screenplay by Lee, the voice cast of the film features Bell ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall," The Crucible), Menzel (Wicked, If/Then), Groff (Spring Awakening), Tony Award nominees Josh Gad (The Book of Mormon) and Santino Fontana (Cinderella), Alan Tudyk (Prelude to a Kiss) and Ciarán Hinds (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof).

"The music elevates and propels this storytelling," said Del Vecho in an earlier statement. "The songwriters Kristen and Bobby participated in the creation of the story. We met with them for two hours each day via video conference while we were building our plot — not necessarily about the songs, but about the characters: who they are, how they think, what they want. Each song enhances and expands the story in a way that fully engages the audience in this world."  A track list for the film soundtrack follows:

Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf (voice of Gad), Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom."
