No one is trying to drag him  It's just being pointed out that his albums don't necessarily chart for long, which is proven by the fact that despite the many albums he has released over the decades, only 1 has ever charted for over 100 weeks. He's not alone as well. If you look, you'll notice that Jay-Z doesn't even have an album that's charted for up to 100 weeks. Neither does Nas, T.I. and a whole load of other rappers we consider legends. It's just a stat to notice.

Kendrick completely bulldozed the list. I’m happy for him.

True. In fact, I checked and here's a stat for you: 

 

The Big 3, but one person has outdone the other 2 extensively on the charts. For instance: 

 

Weeks spent charting on the Billboard 200:

Nicki Minaj:

The Pinkprint (2014): 123 weeks

Pink Friday (2010): 73 weeks

Queen (2018): 57 weeks 

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012): 49 weeks

Total: 302 weeks

 

Lil Wayne:

Tha Carter III (2008): 162 weeks

Tha Carter V (2018): 74 weeks

Tha Carter IV (2011): 65 weeks 

I Am Not a Human Being (2010): 50 weeks

Tha Carter II (2005): 44 weeks

Rebirth (2010): 39 weeks 

Like Father, Like Son (2006): 37 weeks

Tha Carter (2004): 36 weeks

Tha Block Is Hot (1999): 26 weeks 

Lights Out (2001): 20 weeks 

Funeral (2020): 19 weeks 

500 Degreez (2002): 14 weeks 

Gangsta Grillz: Dedication 3 (2009): 11 weeks 

The T-Wayne Show (2009): 1 week

Birdman & Lil Wayne Present: Happy Father's Day (2008): 1 week 

FWA (2020): 1 week

Total: 627 weeks. 

 

Drake:

Take Care (2011): 386 weeks

Nothing Was the Same (2013): 339 weeks 

Views (2016): 221 weeks

IYRTITL (2015): 197 weeks

More Life (2017): 174 weeks 

Scorpion (2018): 108 weeks 

WATTBA (2015): 96 weeks 

Thank Me Later (2010): 93 weeks 

So Far Gone (EP) [2009]: 47 weeks 

Care Package (2019): 16 weeks 

Dark Lane Demo Tapes (2020): 12 weeks 

So Far Gone (2019): 6 weeks 

Total: 1,695 weeks. 

Mess so Cardi's next album could push her past Nicki's discography altogether.

When are we going to stop pretending that Post makes rap music 

In HB was one hundred percent pop, he didn't even try to make something near a rap song

I just realized that I made a mistake in calculating his numbers. He's actually at 1,695 weeks. He'll be crossing to 1,700 weeks next week. Probably 1,701 weeks if he charts 6 albums again next week. 

And he's about to put at least seven albums on BB200 with the CLB debut

Yes. An older album night even re-enter.

@Stepfonyou made a couple of mistakes in OP. You have More Life listed twice (at #18 and #18) and you have DAMN. listed twice as well (at #16 and #21). Also, Juice WRLD's debut album (Goodbye & Good Riddance) is at 118 weeks.

Thank you so much, I have fixed the problems in the OP and added the Juice WRLD album.

[Badboidami]

Oh wow, Queen Of Rap having the longest charting female rap album ever.

 

Not surprised tho... IOP is excellent.

No problem. Only one more error. AstroWorld is listed twice as well.

Thanks for keeping this updated.

 

I think Invasion of Privacy has a strong shot at top 15...top 10 is going to be a long haul game but anything is possible

[trainsskyscrapers]

As crazy as this sounds, I definitely think videos for "Truffle Butter" & "Get On Your Knees", and possibly putting "Feeling Myself" on YouTube would've been enough to keep The PinkPrint in residence in the bottom 50 places of the charts for a long time.

7. J. Cole - "2014 Forest Hills Drive" (364 weeks)
