"Frozen" was a huge success worldwide. It topped the charts in a few countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Finland, but it peaked at #2 in mostly the rest of the world, being held off from the top position in the majority of them by Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". It peaked at #2 in the United States. It became her sixth number-two single in the United States, making Madonna the artist with most number-two hits in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Frozen" debuted in the Mainstream Top 40 (Pop Songs) chart at no. 16, the third biggest debut to date, and reached the top 10 the next week.

In the United Kingdom, despite sporadically high sales of singles such as "You'll See" (a #5 hit in 1995) and "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" (a #3 success), "Frozen" was seen as the "big comeback" for Madonna, and became her first ever single to debut at number-one, selling 508,296 copies. It was Madonna's first British chart-topper since "Vogue" in April 1990.

    Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
