Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album has broken the record for the most weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart among albums by a singular artist.

The former No. 1 set collects an 86th nonconsecutive week in the top 10 on the chart (dated Sept. 17, rising from No. 5 to No. 2), surpassing the 85 nonconsecutive weeks tallied by Peter, Paul and Mary’s self-titled album in 1962-64. The latter album spent seven nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 in 1962-63 and included the top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit “If I Had a Hammer.”

Bad Bunny's 'Un Verano Sin Ti' Hits 10th Week at No. 1, Most Weeks Atop Billboard 200 in Over a Year

Dangerous debuted atop the Jan. 23, 2021-dated chart and spent its first 10 weeks at No. 1. It has only fallen out of the weekly top 10 once since its arrival on the list. It includes two Hot 100 top 10s and seven top 10s on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, including the No. 1s “7 Summers” and “Wasted on You.”

Seven albums still have more weeks in the top 10 than Dangerous — and all are multi-artist soundtracks and cast recordings. See list, below.

Since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular weekly basis, with the March 24, 1956-dated chart, the album with the most weeks in the top 10 is the original cast recording of My Fair Lady, with 173 weeks in the top 10 between 1956-60. The seven albums with the most weeks in the top 10 are all cast recordings or film soundtracks. (See list, below.)

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 17, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Sept. 13). For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

(through the Sept. 17, 2022-dated chart.)

Dangerous has been a monster-sized hit on the Billboard 200, becoming one of only four country albums with at least 10 weeks at No. 1 on the chart. It also finished 2021 as the year-end No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.

Dangerous debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated Jan. 23, 2021, and has left the weekly top 10 only once, on the Jan. 1, 2022-dated list, when it was squeezed out by a number of older holiday albums (typical for the season on the chart).

On Feb. 2, 2021, in the middle of the album’s fourth week of release, a video emerged showing Wallen using the N-word. He subsequently issued an apology. Reaction from the industry was swift, and his music was removed from dozens of high-profile playlists on streamers, and multiple radio groups dropped his music. However, on the Billboard 200, the album posted a gain in units earned during its fourth week and held at No. 1. Wallen spent 2021 out of the spotlight, but has been re-embraced by streamers and country radio (he recently notched his seventh top 10 on the Country Airplay chart, dated Aug. 27). He’s also donated at least $500,000 to charitable causes, including the National Museum of African American Music in Nashville and Rock Against Racism. Earlier in 2022, Wallen performed at the Billboard Music Awards (May 15), marking his first performance at major awards ceremony since being caught on video using the slur. At the awards, he took home the trophy for top country male artist. (In 2021, he won three Billboard Music Awards, but was not invited to accept them during the broadcast.)

Some history on the Billboard 200 chart: The list began publishing as a regular, weekly fixture with the March 24, 1956-dated chart, where Harry Belafonte’s Belafonte was the No. 1 album in the U.S. At the time, the chart was only 10-positions and was named Best Selling Pop Albums. (Its name would change only a week later, to Best Selling Popular Albums.)

Prior to March 24, 1956, Billboard had tracked album popularity, but not consistently. The first overall album chart appeared 11 years earlier, on March 24, 1945. That chart was published on an irregular basis until it became a weekly fixture starting with the March 24, 1956 issue of Billboard magazine.

Notably, for a little over four years (between May 25, 1959-Aug. 10, 1963), the album chart was split into two separate lists, each tracking the sales of mono or stereo-recorded albums. These two charts were named Best Selling Monophonic LPs and Best Selling Stereophonic LPs. The names of the charts would change slightly over time, but Billboard would publish two charts for mono and stereo albums until Aug. 10, 1963. The following week, Aug. 17, 1963, the mono and stereo charts folded back into one overall chart.

The chart would grow to 200 positions in 1967. In 1992, and after a number of name changes, the chart would settle on its current name, Billboard 200.

For the above list of the albums with the most weeks in the top 10, if an album charted on both the mono and stereo chart, its total weeks in the top 10 is its combined total across both charts (without duplicating weeks). So, if an album was in the top 10 on both the mono and stereo chart in the same week, that counts as one week in the top 10.

As for how the Billboard 200 chart is compiled… through the May 18, 1991-dated chart, the chart ranked the week’s top-selling albums in the U.S., based on reports obtained from record stores. On the May 25, 1991-dated chart, the list began using electronically monitored point-of-sale purchase information courtesy of SoundScan, Inc. (now known as Luminate).

The chart would continue to rank the week’s top-selling albums, by traditional album sales, through the Dec. 6, 2014-dated chart. The following week (Dec. 13, 2014), the list transformed again, becoming a multi-metric popularity chart, ranking overall consumption, as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

Because of how the Billboard 200 is now compiled — where a lengthy tracklist can help accrue large streaming totals — an album like Dangerous (which debuted with 30 songs and was later reissued with three bonus tracks) profits greatly from the continued weekly streams of its hefty tracklist. Many high-charting albums on the Billboard 200 now have long tracklists. In 2022, across the 18 albums that have been No. 1, the average album length is 20 tracks.

Further, older albums (known as catalog albums; generally defined today as titles 18 months old or older), were mostly restricted from charting on the Billboard 200 from May 25, 1991-Nov. 28, 2009. From Dec. 5, 2009-onwards, catalog and current (new/recently released) albums chart together on the Billboard 200. Today, older albums regularly spend hundreds of weeks on the chart — such as Journey’s Greatest Hits (more than 700 weeks) and Eminem’s Curtain Call: The Hits (nearly 600). Based on its track record thus far, one can imagine Dangerous could be on the Billboard 200 for hundreds of weeks to come.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated Sept. 17 (rising 2-1) for a 10th nonconsecutive week atop the list. It now solely has the most weeks at No. 1 in 2022, surpassing the nine weeks logged by the Encanto soundtrack. Further, Un Verano Sin Ti has the most weeks at No. 1 in over a year, since Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album spent 10 weeks (all consecutive, from its debut) at No. 1 (Jan. 23-March 27, 2021, charts).

09/11/2022

Un Verano Sin Ti earned 99,500 equivalent album units in the U.S. (down 6%) in the week ending Sept. 8, according to Luminate.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Megadeth notches its eighth top 10 with the No. 3 debut of The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!, while Romeo Santos earns his fourth top 10 with the No. 10 bow of Fórmula, Vol. 3. Plus, Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album breaks the record for the most weeks in the top 10 among albums by a singular artist, as it clocks an 86th nonconsecutive week in the region.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 17, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Sept. 13). For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Un Verano Sin Ti’s 99,500 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 96,000 (down 6%, equaling 135.41 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise 3,000 (down 6%) and TEA units comprise 500 (down 5%).

Since 2000, only nine albums — including Un Verano Sin Ti — have notched at least 10 weeks at No. 1. (Among those is Santana’s Supernatural, which captured a total of 12 weeks at No. 1 — three in 1999 and nine in 2000.)

Bad Bunny, Un Verano Sin Ti, 10, May 21, 2022
*through the Sept. 17, 2022-dated chart.

Un Verano Sin Ti debuted at No. 1 on the May 21-dated Billboard 200 and has yet to depart the top two rungs of the chart for its entire 18-week run on the list thus far. Since August of 1963, when Billboard combined its separate stereo and mono album charts into one single album chart, Un Verano Sin Ti is the first album to spend its first 18 weeks on the chart in the top two. (See more history on the Billboard 200, which began publishing as a regular, weekly fixture in March of 1956.)

Previously, Drake’s Views spent its first 17 weeks in the top two, on the May 21-Sept. 10, 2016-dated charts.

Un Verano Sin Ti has bounced between Nos. 1 and 2 on the Billboard 200 for a total of six distinct visits to the No. 1 slot. See list, below.

Billboard 200 Chart Date, Rank
May 21, No. 1 (Debut)
May 28, No. 2
June 4, No. 2
June 11, No. 2
June 18, No. 1
June 25, No. 2
July 2, No. 2
July 9, No. 1
July 16, No. 1

Aug. 20, No. 1
Aug. 27, No. 2
Sept. 3, No. 1
Sept. 10, No. 2
Sept. 17, No. 1

Meanwhile, Un Verano Sin Ti is the first album with six separate visits to No. 1 since Adele’s 21 had 10 distinct stays at No. 1 in 2011-12, for a total of 24 weeks atop the list. It debuted at No. 1 on the March 12, 2011-dated list and notched its final week atop the chart on June 23, 2012.

Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album climbs 5-2 on the new Billboard 200, with 48,000 equivalent album units earned (down 5%).

Dangerous: The Double Album has now accumulated 86 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and breaks the record for the most weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart among albums by a singular artist — since the chart began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March of 1956. It surpasses the 85 weeks logged in the top 10 by Peter, Paul and Mary’s self-titled album in 1962-64.

However, there are seven albums that have more weeks in the top 10 than Dangerous — and all are multi-artist soundtracks and cast recordings, led by the all-time top 10 record holder, the original cast recording of My Fair Lady, with 173 weeks in the top 10 between 1956-60. See list, below.

Albums With Most Weeks in Top 10 on Billboard 200 Chart (March 24, 1956-onwards)
Weeks in Top 10, Artist, Title, Year First Reached Top 10
173, Original Cast, My Fair Lady, 1956
109, Soundtrack, The Sound of Music, 1965

85, Peter, Paul and Mary, Peter Paul and Mary, 1962
84, Adele, 21, 2011
84, Bruce Springsteen, Born in the U.S.A., 1984
(through the Sept. 17, 2022-dated chart.)

Megadeth’s The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, notching the rock band its eighth top 10-charting album. The set launches with nearly 48,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 45,000, SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 3.6 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a neglible sum.

Megadeth scored its first top 10 on the Billboard 200 a little more than 30 years ago, when Countdown to Extinction debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Aug. 1, 1992-dated chart. The act has since visited the top 10 with Youthanasia (No. 4, 1994), Cryptic Writings (No. 10, 1997), United Abominations (No. 8, 2007), Endgame (No. 9, 2009), Super Collider (No. 6, 2013), Dystopia (No. 3, 2016) and The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!

A quartet of former No. 1s is next up on the Billboard 200. DJ Khaled’s God Did falls to No. 4 from its debut atop the list a week ago, as it earned 45,000 equivalent album units in its second week (down 58%). Harry Styles’ Harry’s House rises 9-5 with 43,000 units (up 2%), Beyoncé’s Renaissance is a non-mover at No. 6 with 41,000 units (down 12%) and Rod Wave’s Beautiful Mind rises 8-7 with 36,000 units (down 17%).

The Weeknd’s hits compilation The Highlights rises 13-8 with 29,000 equivalent album units earned (up 1%) and TWICE’s Between 1&2: 11th Mini Album falls 3-9 in its second week with 28,000 units (down 73%).

Santos closes out the top 10 as his latest release, Fórmula, Vol. 3, debuts at No. 10 with 26,000 equivalent album units earned. It’s the fourth top 10-charting effort for the artist on the list. Of its starting sum, SEA units comprise 23,500 (equaling 33.1 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 2,000 and TEA units comprise 500.

Thanks, Gary. No 100-plus position dropper on the 200 this week. Real Boston Richey's Public Housing slides 94 spots to No. 154.

Now, all four albums that debuted in the 7-13 range a couple of weeks ago are off the 200. After three weeks, on Album Sales, Madonna's remix compilation is at 22, while studio efforts from Five Finger Death Punch, Panic at the Disco! and Demi Lovato and sit at Nos. 23, 40 and (yikes) 88. Granted, the sales difference between 22 and 88 isn't that big (maybe a few thousand or so), but gotta look at the ranks.

EDIT: Also of note: Muse's Will of the People drops off the Billboard 200, from last week's No. 15 position.

Okay so I have to ask. What do the biggest droppers look like on this chart? I finished up through the 90’s, and naturally, it was bombarded by holiday titles of the era. Rick Springfield took the record in the 2000’s, so who has it now?

[SPRΞΞ]

Morgan literally gets the exact same consumption units every week. He doesn't even have to lift a finger and he'll have the biggest album of all time.

YUNGBLUD Scores First Top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales Chart
By Keith Caulfield
09/14/2022

Plus: Megadeth, Jon Pardi and King's X debut in top 10.

YUNGBLUD lands his first top 10 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated Sept. 17) – and his best sales week yet – as his self-titled third studio album debuts at No. 3 with 13,000 copies sold in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 8, according to Luminate.

The set also makes a splash across further Billboard album charts, bowing in the top 10 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums, Top Current Album Sales, Tastemaker Albums and Vinyl Albums.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.


Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums rank the week’s most popular rock and alternative, rock, and alternative releases, respectively, by equivalent album units. Top Current Albums lists the week’s top-selling current albums (excluding older albums, referred to as catalog). Tastemaker Albums ranks the best-selling albums at independent and small chain record stores.

Of YUNGBLUD’s 13,000 copies sold in its first week, physical sales comprise 12,000 (6,500 on vinyl; 5,500 on CD and a negligible sum on cassette) and digital downloads comprise 1,000.

YUNGBLUD sold well at independent record stores, as the album debuts at No. 2 on the Tastemakers Albums chart, with nearly 5,000 sold via indie retailers. (Tastemakers ranks the top-selling albums of the week at indie stores.) The album’s sales were bolstered at indies by eight in-store performances during the tracking week by YUNGBLUD (dubbed by the artist as the American as F**k In-Store Tour).

Additionally, the set also bows at No. 2 on the Vinyl Albums chart, with 6,500 sold via vinyl LP (50% of the album’s overall first week sales).

Megadeth’s The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! arrives at No. 1 on Top Album Sales with 45,000 sold – marking the first chart-topper for the rock band on the 31-year-old chart. The act had previously gone as high as No. 2, twice, with Countdown to Extinction in 1992 and Dystopia in 2016. The new album also opens at No. 1 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Current Album Sales and Tastemaker Albums.

TWICE’s Between 1&2: 11th Mini Album falls 1-2 in its second week on Top Album Sales (24,000; down 74%).

Silk Sonic – the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak – dips 3-4 with its An Evening With Silk Sonic (10,000; down 73%),

Harry Styles’ chart-topping Harry’s House rises 8-5 (8,000; up 10%),

Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers falls 2-6 (nearly 8,000; down 80%) and

ENHYPEN’s former leader Manifesto: Day 1 is a non-mover at No. 7 (7,000; down 11%).

Jon Pardi clocks his third top 10 on Top Album Sales as Mr. Saturday Night starts at No. 8 with 5,000 sold.

SEVENTEEN’s former No. 1 SEVENTEEN 4th Album Repackage: Sector 17 rises 14-9 with nearly 5,000 (down 5%).

King’s X closes out the new top 10 as the rock band’s first studio album in 14 years, Three Sides of One, debuts at No. 10 with 4,000 sold. It’s the first top 10 on the 31-year-old tally for the act.

In the week ending Sept. 8, there were 1.658 million albums sold in the U.S. (down 5.7% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 1.292 million (down 6.5%) and digital albums comprised 367,000 (down 2.6%).

There were 606,000 CD albums sold in the week ending Sept. 8 (down 9.4% week-over-week) and 677,000 vinyl albums sold (down 3.5%).

Year-to-date CD album sales stand at 23.476 million (down 8.5% compared to the same time frame a year ago) and year-to-date vinyl album sales total 26.545 million (up 0.2%).

Overall year-to-date album sales total 64.543 million (down 8.2% compared to the same year-to-date time frame a year ago). Year-to-date physical album sales stand at 50.377 million (down 4%) and digital album sales total 14.166 million (down 20.6%).
