Spend in the Top 100 albums before going Pop Catalog? I want to know how long Norah Jones has to last to beat that.

Well I started following in late 1999 and Shania was in the Top 10 near Christmas 1999. Norah's album goes 34-27 this week. If it can continue moving up by itself Norah could have two albums in the Top 10 at once. Releasing a new album helps your old albums. Looking at the Top 100 five weeks ago, in addition to Shania, the Backstreet Boys, N Sync, the Dixie Chicks, the Goo Goo Dolls (exactly 104 weeks which is two years), Sarah McLachlan, Creed, Lenny Kravitz, Matchbox Twenty, Third Eye Blind (also exactly 104 weeks), and the Spice Girls spent at least 104 weeks on the chart and Phil Collins (102), Juvenile (100), Faith Hill (99), Will Smith (99), and DMX (101) just missed. That's sixteen albums with at least 99 weeks on chart (total, not at the time the chart was made). Does anybody know if 101 weeks would be the most weeks on chart for a rap album? The surprise is Will Smith having a much higher certification than DMX despite DMX having more weeks on chart and a better peak position. Norah reaches week 99 on Thursday and the next most weeks on chart I know of for an album I expect to still be on the chart is MercyMe which was in the Top 100 with 80-something weeks. Ten years ago the Top 100 had four albums that spent at least 200 weeks on the chart and the current chart probably has none. I won't give Norah that much future success.
Does it make sense that at least on CHR-Pop singles last longer than they did ten years ago but albums last shorter (I don't know if that's a real phrase)?

What's the catalog rule for The Billboard 200? 2 years (that's 104 weeks) and below #100 right? So DMX didn't get removed by the rule - he fell off the chart naturally?
Oh and by the way, in the album's 82nd week, "The Eminem Show" ranked at #199. I suppose there's a small possibility that he could pop in and out of the Top 200 for 22 more weeks to reach the 2 year mark.

I have this CD. My favorite song from it is "That Don't Impress Me Much."
