The chart dates back to March 1956, more than 33 years before Swift was born.
As Taylor Swift‘s Midnights logs its fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Swift becomes just the third artist in the history of Billboard‘s flagship album chart to log 60 or more weeks at No. 1. That’s pretty impressive when you consider that the chart dates back to March 1956, more than 33 years before Swift was born.
Elvis Presley was the first artist to log 60 weeks at No. 1. He reached that milestone in the Billboard issue dated April 14, 1962, when his Blue Hawaii soundtrack was in its 18th of 20 weeks on top. He has since spent seven additional weeks at No. 1, for a career total of 67.
The Beatles were the second artists to log 60 weeks at No. 1. The Fab Four reached that milestone in the issue dated Feb. 12, 1966, when Rubber Soul was in its sixth and final week at No. 1. Incredibly, at that point the group wasn’t even halfway through its commanding tally of weeks at No. 1, which currently stands at 132.
The Fine Print: If you count theSaturday Night Feversoundtrack (which logged 24 weeks at No. 1 in 1978) as aBee Geesalbum, the trio had 31 weeks on top. Bee Gees had six tracks on the album — five of which were No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. ButBillboardcounts it as a multi-artist soundtrack album.
Here’s a look at all acts with 30 or more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since March 24, 1956, when the chart began publishing on a consistent weekly basis. Ties are shown in alphabetical order:
Mariah Carey (30 weeks)

The RIAA has certified Eagles/Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, which logged five weeks at No. 1 in 1976, at 38 times platinum, higher than any other album in history. The group’s tally of No. 1 albums also includes a live album, 1994’s Hell Freezes Over.
Drake (34 weeks)
First week at No. 1: July 3, 2010
Most recent week at No. 1: Nov. 19, 2022

First week at No. 1: June 10, 2000
Most recent week at No. 1: Jan. 23, 2020
Longest-running No. 1: The Marshall Mathers LP(eight weeks in 2000)
Notes: Eminem and Drake are tied as the hip-hop artists with the most weeks at No. 1. Eminem’s tally of No. 1 albums includes a 2005 greatest hits set, Curtain Call: The Hits. Eminem was the key artist on 8 Mile: Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture, which logged four weeks at No. 1 in 2002-03, but that doesn’t count toward his total. Neither do a pair of No. 1 albums he recorded as a member of the group D12, which logged a combined three weeks at No. 1.
Prince (35 weeks)
First week at No. 1: Aug. 4, 1984
(Video) Every Album That Sold 1 Million+ in 1 WeekMost recent week at No. 1: May 7, 2016

It was one of two No. 1 albums on which Prince shared billing with his band,The Revolution. The other wasAround the World in a Day. Prince’s tally also includes a 2001 hits compilation, The Very Best of Prince, which reached No. 1 following his death in 2016.
Harry Belafonte (37 weeks)
First week at No. 1: March 24, 1956
Most recent week at No. 1: May 20, 1957
Longest-running No. 1: Calypso(31 weeks in 1956-57)
Notes: The legendary singer’sBelafontealbum was No. 1 on the very first weekly Billboard 200 chart. Calypso is tied with the South Pacific soundtrack as the longest-running No. 1 album of the 1956-59 period. Belafonte had the second shortest span of weeks at No. 1 of any act on this list, with only The Monkees having a slightly shorter span. He is one of just two artists on this list who has had just two No. 1 albums. Belafonte, 95, is the oldest artist on this list.
The Monkees (37 weeks)
First week at No. 1: Nov. 12, 1966
Most recent week at No. 1: Dec. 30, 1967
Longest-running No. 1: More of the Monkees(18 weeks in 1967)
Notes: The group had a briefer span of No. 1 albums – just a little more than a year – than any other act on this list. But that also underscores how hot they were at the time. They held the No. 1 spot for 31 consecutive weeks, longer than any other act in the entire 1956-2022 period. The Monkees were sometimes derided as the “Pre-Fab Four” at the time, but are now widely seen as a solid and entertaining pop group.
Fleetwood Mac (38 weeks)
First week at No. 1: Sept. 4, 1976
Most recent week at No. 1: Sept. 6, 1997
Longest-running No. 1: Rumours(31 weeks in 1977)
Notes: Rumours had the longest run at No. 1 of any album in the 1970s. It also had the longest run at No. 1 of any album by a group or duo in the entire 1956-2022 period. Fleetwood Mac has had more weeks at No. 1 than any other mixed-gender (and mixed-nationalities) group. Their most recent No. 1 album, The Dance, was recorded live on a soundstage. The group’s Christine McVie died in November 2022.
The Rolling Stones (38 weeks)
First week at No. 1: Aug. 21, 1965
Most recent week at No. 1: Nov. 14, 1981
Longest-running No. 1: Tattoo You(nine weeks in 1981)
Notes: The Stones are the third-highest ranking group on this list, behind The Beatles and The Kingston Trio.
Elton John (39 weeks)
First week at No. 1: July 15, 1972
(Video) Taylor Swift Becomes First Female Solo Artist At Number One For 47 Weeks With ‘Folklore’ AlbumMost recent week at No. 1: Nov. 22, 1975
Longest-running No. 1: Greatest Hits(10 weeks in 1974-75).
Notes: Elton’s span of No. 1 albums – not quite 3-1/2 years – doesn’t reflect his status as a dominant figure in pop music for more than half a century. Elton had the first two albums to enter the Billboard 200 at No. 1 – Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and Rock of the Westies (both 1975). Greatest Hits spent more weeks on top than any other greatest hits album in the 1970s. Elton was the key artist on The Lion King soundtrack, which logged 10 weeks at No. 1 in 1994-95, but that doesn’t count toward his total.
Adele (40 weeks)
First week at No. 1: March 12, 2011
Most recent week at No. 1: Jan. 8, 2022
Longest-running No. 1: 21(24 weeks in 2011-12)
Notes: Adele has spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other solo artist who wasn’t born in the U.S. (Runner-up is Elton John, with 39 weeks on top.)Adele and Harry Belafonte are the only artists on this list who have had just two No. 1 albums. (Adele will surely have more to come.) 21 spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other album of the 2010s.

Whitney Houston (46 weeks)
First week at No. 1: March 8, 1986
Most recent week at No. 1: Sept. 19, 2009
Longest-running No. 1: The Bodyguardsoundtrack (20 weeks in 1992-93)
Notes: Houston is the second-highest-ranking female solo artist. Houston’s tally includes The Bodyguard soundtrack, which had the most weeks at No. 1 of any soundtrack in the 1990s. Houston recorded just six of the 12 songs on The Bodyguard, but they were the ones that sold the album. (The album also contains a score selection composed by Alan Silvestri.) Houston’s tally does not include the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, which logged five weeks at No. 1 in 1996, as she sang just three of the songs on that album. Houston very nearly notched a posthumous No. 1 – as Prince, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, of the artists on this list, did – but her The Greatest Hits album wasn’t able to unseat Adele’s blockbuster 21. The compilation logged three weeks at No. 2 in March 2012.
The Kingston Trio (46 weeks)
First week at No. 1: Nov. 24, 1958
Most recent week at No. 1: Dec. 26, 1960
Longest-running No. 1: The Kingston Trio at Large(15 weeks in 1959)
Notes: The folk trio spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other American group or duo. Among groups and duos where all the members were born in the U.S., runners-up are the Eagles, with 30 weeks at No. 1. The Kingston Trio is the second-highest-ranking group on this list, and the highest-ranking artist whose No. 1 albums are all studio releases consisting of songs the act hadn’t previously recorded.
Michael Jackson (51 weeks)
First week at No. 1: Feb. 26, 1983
Most recent week at No. 1: Nov. 14, 2009
Longest-running No. 1: Thriller(37 weeks in 1983-84)
Notes: Thriller had the longest run at No. 1 of any album in the 1980s. It had a longer run at No. 1 than any other non-soundtrack album in the entire 1956-2022 period. MJ spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other Black artist. (Houston is runner-up at 46 weeks.)Jackson’s total includes a soundtrack (Michael Jackson’s This Is It) and a unique double-disk album (HIStory: Past, Present and Future Book I), which was half greatest hits, half new studio recordings.
Garth Brooks (52 weeks)
First week at No. 1: Sept. 28, 1991

Longest-running No. 1s: Fearless(11 weeks in 2008-09) and1989(11 weeks in 2014-15)
Notes: Swift, who will turn 33 on Dec. 13, is the youngest artist on this list and the top female artist. Her tally includes both the original and re-recorded Taylor’s Version editions ofFearless and Red. The originalFearlesshad the longest run at No. 1 of any album in the 2000-09 decade.
Elvis Presley (67 weeks)
First week at No. 1: May 5, 1956
Most recent week at No. 1: Oct. 26, 2002
Longest-running No. 1: Blue Hawaiisoundtrack (20 weeks in 1961-62)
