‘Zootopia 2’ Soundtrack Roars Into Top 10 on Kid Albums Chart

The Zootopia 2 soundtrack debuts at No. 6 on Billboard’s Kid Albums chart (dated Dec. 13), while Vince Guaraldi Trio’s soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas extends its record for the most weeks at No. 1, holding atop the list for a 125th nonconsecutive week.

Zootopia 2 is the companion album to the animated film of the same name, which has earned more than $220 million at the United States and Canada box office since its release in movie theaters on Nov. 26. It’s the sequel to the 2016 film Zootopia, which won the Academy Award for best animated feature and was one of the highest-grossing films of 2016.

While the first Zootopia album did not reach the Kid Albums chart, it did peak at No. 8 on the Soundtracks tally and at No. 121 on the overall all-genre Billboard 200.

The Zootopia 2 soundtrack is comprised largely of score composed by Michael Giacchino. It has one new song, “Zoo,” performed by Shakira, who voices the pop star character named Gazelle in both films. “Zoo” was written for the film by Shakira, Ed Sheeran and Blake Slatkin. (“Zoo,” meanwhile, also debuts at No. 6 on the Digital Song Sales chart.)

Elsewhere in the top 10 on the latest Kid Albums chart, three holiday titles dot the region, led by the soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas and Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Christmas With The Chipmunks, from Alvin, Simon and Theodore With David Seville, vaults 24-8.
