In Canada, as with the rest of the world Pharrell’s “Happy (From Despicable Me 2), was everywhere, yet Disney’s Frozen dominated iTunes downloads, becoming the #2 selling album of 2014 (including the Oscar-winning theme song Let It Go) while cementing itself as the top-selling iTunes movie of all-time. Additionally, the Frozen Free Fall app was one of the top downloads in the App Store in 2014. If you’re wondering, the #1 album was Taylor Swift’s 1989, the only album to go platinum in 2014.
