What Grammy Award category did Disney’s Frozen soundtrack win in 2015?

Disney’s Frozen soundtrack won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.

The soundtrack combines songs written for the film by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez with orchestral score material by Christophe Beck. It includes major songs such as “Let It Go,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “For the First Time in Forever.”

The Grammy category recognizes soundtracks assembled for visual productions, rather than an individual song or a film’s purely instrumental score. This distinction is why Frozen’s award is sometimes confused with the Grammy categories for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media or Best Song Written for Visual Media.

Frozen’s music was also recognized at the Academy Awards. “Let It Go” won the 2014 Oscar for Best Original Song, while the film’s soundtrack became a major commercial success and topped the Billboard 200 album chart.
