Finally was able to finish this. This is singles and albums points combined together.

And Lil Baby has the biggest album of all time beating Thriller.

That's insane ^

How exactly do those two albums breakdown?

Above, is where I posted the breakdown.

I know the Lil Baby album spent 3 calendar years inside the top ten, whereas Thriller only spent 2. However, Thriller had stronger singles than My Turn.
