The "Frozen" soundtrack currently occupies the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart for the sixth nonconsecutive week, and with 1.1 million in sales thus far, it appears that it is heading for a seventh, becoming this year's best selling album.

According to Billboard, Disney Music Group will begin promoting remixes of "Let It Go" to dance clubs and DJs beginning tomorrow, Friday, March 21.

The remix is not The First Time the Broadway star has hit Billboard's Dance Club charts. She has appeared three times previously including a 2006 remix of "Take Me Or Leave Me" (with Tracie Thomas, from the film "Rent"), which reached No. 32.

In 2007, the 'If/Then' star scored her first top 10 Club hit with "Defying Gravity" from the Broadway musical "Wicked," which was remixed for dance clubs. It reached No. 5 on the chart on Aug. 4, 2007.

Finally, in 2008, Menzel hit No. 3 with "Gorgeous," a single from her studio album "I Stand."

Papercha$er production team member Marc Stout tells Billboard that the 'Let It Go' remix was a "fun challenge to translate" Menzel's "powerful and theatrical vocal" for the dance floor.

About Disney's Frozen:

Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind "Tangled" and "Wreck-It Ralph," presents "Frozen," a stunning big-screen comedyadventure. Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey-teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven-to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.

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