So while many albums collect their massive sales in the span of its first 10 weeks of release, some albums really pack a sales-punch overtime. What albums do you think have the best longetivity of all time? ;)

mine?
Taylor Swift Taylor Swift (still top 200)
Taylor Swift Fearless (still top 10!!)
Britney Spears ...Baby One More Time
Shania Twain Come On Over
Usher Confessions
Lady GaGa The Fame

Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 is the only album ever to spawn a Hot 100 #1 hit in three separate calendar years. "Miss You Much" hit #1 in 1989, "Escapade" and "Black Cat" in 1990 and "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" in 1991. It was also supported by the most successful debut tour of all-time and is the only album in history to produce seven top five hits. End.

Pink's I'm Not Dead had a huge longevity pretty much everywhere, but in australia its longevity was record-breaking. Funhouse is following the suit :cool:
