The Frozen Soundtrack Puts Four Number One Songs in My Personal Countdown

The soundtrack to the movie Frozen puts four #1 songs in my personal countdown.  Love is an Open Door is the fourth track from that album to go all the way to #1.  It has been sometime ago that a soundtrack album has done that - and most of those which did are movie classics as well.  Top of mind soundtracks that I can recall right now that has duplicated this feat are The Bodyguard and Dirty Dancing. The other #1 songs from this Frozen album are In Summer, Let It Go, Do You Want to Build A Snowman and this week's #1 song, Love is an Open Door.

G-Dragon of Big Bang

I've always thought K-pop groups, especially the boys look a tad too androgynous for my taste.  That's true for the boy band Big Bang.  Some of their members like Seungri and Taeyang and Daesung look hot and masculine but G-Dragon here looks a bit androgynous to me.
