While the soundtrack to the musical film spends a second week topping the chart, Bruno Mars' '24K Magic' returns to the top 10 after more than four months.

AceShowbiz - The soundtrack to the musical film "The Greatest Showman" spends a second week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 chart. The effort sold 104,000 equivalent album units, including 70,000 in traditional album sales, according to Nielsen Music.

With the recent achievement, the soundtrack has become the fifth soundtrack in the last ten years to spend multiple weeks at No. 1. Other soundtrack albums which previously topped the chart for multiple weeks were "Suicide Squad: The Album" (2016), "Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1" (2014), "Frozen (2013)" and "Glee: The Music, Volume 3" (2010).

Additionally, four songs off the album debut on this week's Billboard Hot 100, including Keala Settle's "This Is Me". The movie itself achieves similar success by earning $95 million at the U.S. and Canada box office. It has become the third highest-grossing musical film following "Enchanted" (2007) and "La La Land" (2017).

Back to the Billboard 200 chart, Ed Sheeran's "Divide (division sign)" stays steady at No. 2 with 53,000 units. Meanwhile, G-Eazy's "The Beautiful & Damned" returns to its peak at No. 3 with 38,000 units.

Bruno Mars' "24K Magic" returns to the top 10 after more than four months, climbing from No. 15 to No. 4 with 37,000 units. The rises of the effort are influenced by the release of the remix of "Finesse" featuring Cardi B. The track, which was released on January 4, debuted at No. 35 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, marking the week's highest new entry.

Post Malone's "Stoney" ascends to No. 5 with nearly 37,000 units, while Taylor Swift's "Reputation" falls three spots to No. 6 with a little over 36,000 units. Eminem's "Revival", on the other hand, dips one spot to No. 7 with 36,000 units.
