Excluded are actresses who charted due to how huge OSTs are in Korea (ie: Emma Stone, Keira Knightley, Kristen Bell, etc.).

 

Why do you have this weird rule if you're including Frozen songs?

 

[BlazingLovatic]

Don't be misled, all of them are flops in Korea.

#1 on the International chart isn't even enough sales enough to chart in the top 50 overall most of the time.

Idina Menzel is not an actress, she's a broadway singer.

She's been in 14 movies and 13 tv shows. 
Doing broadway doesn't mean she isn't an actress as well

But she's on the OST as vocalist solely.

Emma Watson, Keira Knightley, Emma Stone, Kristen Bell, etc. are only on their OSTs because their in their movies.

I'm not sure what's hard to grasp. It's a list of the music successful Western female musicians in SK.

but she's Elsa in the movie as well?

She wouldn't be singing Elsa's songs if she wasn't Elsa

Is she?

I'm screaming, I really thought she was just the voice actress for the songs, not the talking/non-music bits like they've done in previous films, like how Linda Larkin is Jasmine's talking voiceover in the movie yet Lea Salonga does the singing for Jasmine in the movie.

 

I'll go back in then and look through the main two OSTs I left off - Begin Again and La La Land and see if that changes anything.

To be fair, she didn't play the 5 and 12 year old versions of Elsa

It's like I expected, it didn't change anything ddd. I just made the exclusion cause I didn't want to bother counting them since I had to count all of it by hand.

 

Emma Stone / La La Land OST - 
#2 - City Of Stars
#3 - A Lovely Night
#9 - Someone In The Crowd
#14 - Audition (The Fools Who Dream)

 

Keira Knightley / Begin Again OST - 
#6 - Lost Stars
#4 - Tell Me If You Wanna Go Home
#5 - A Step You Can’t Take Back
#7 - Like a Fool
#9 - Coming Up Roses
#12 - Tell Me If You Wanna Go Home (Rooftop Version)

 

Kristen Bell / Frozen OST - 
#3 - Do You Want To Build A Snowman?
#4 - For The First Time In Forever
#4 - Love Is An Open Door
#11 - For The First Time In Forever (Reprise)

 

Though  @ Keira Knightley being one Top 10 away from tying Taylor Swift.

But at least I can remove that from the OP now.
