Who Had a Better Year? T.Swift or Elsa?

A hard and fast rule I learned when I did not make my high school's soccer team after three grueling days of try outs in the blistering August heat: we can't all be winners. An unfortunate, heartbreaking fact of life, but a true one nonetheless. That doesn't mean that there aren't winners, though, even if you're not one of them. For instance, Billboard reports that Taylor Swift just nabbed the top selling album of 2014 with "1989." The only person having a comparably amazing year? Queen Elsa from Frozen, whose soundtrack came in second to Swift's (ouch). So, basically, unless you're a blonde haired, blue eyed, slender blonde with a musical inclination, 2014 just wasn't your year.

It's cool, though. It wasn't like either gal didn't deserve their winnings. They both broke records, inspired fashion trends, and empowered young girls. Despite their uncanny similarities and their overwhelming popularity though, only one of these fabulous women can take home the prize as the girl who owned the outgoing year. Yes, Swift clenched the title for top record sales, but that doesn't mean Queen Elsa concedes the whole year to her because of that. In order to decide whose more deserving, let's do a comparison of these successful ladies.

Tie. Damn, they're good.

So, who collected the most points by comparison overall and officially owned 2014? The very real and not at all animated, Taylor Swift.

Here's to a 2015 that's even better.
