Encanto, which features music written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, jumped from number seven to number one on the Top 200 in one week.
30 dropped to the number two spot.
The song "We Don't Talk About Bruno" was the 19th most popular song on the platform from December 31 to January 6.
The soundtrack for Disney's Frozen 2 was the most recent to top the chart, and it was the only one.
Disney did not submit the song to be considered for the Best Original Song category at the upcoming Academy Awards, despite the success of "We Don't Talk About Bruno." The studio submitted a song called "Dos Oruguitas" from the movie, which was written by Miranda and made the Academy's short list for potential nominees. Encanto won a Golden Globe award. It was nominated for Best Original Song, but lost to No Time To Die. Nominees will be announced on February 8 and the winners will be announced on March 27.
The key background.
The story of the Madrigal family is set in the country of Columbia, in which everyone is given a magical power except for one daughter, Mirabel. The movie was released in theaters on Thanksgiving weekend, but didn't get a lot of attention from the audience until it was on Disney+. The week after Encanto became available to stream, several songs from the movie landed on the Hot 100.
The music from Disney's animated film Encanto Surges on the charts.
The Power of the Dog, West Side Story, and the Golden Globes all win big.
