Feanor Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) This is a list of all the female artists who spent at least 2 cumulative weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Like Billboard's way of counting, only solo credits are regarded, so band/duo credits aren't taken into consideration, but collaborations albums are if the female solo artist is credited as such (e.g. ASIB counting for Lady Gaga's total). The release date of the albums is given in brackets. These are the women with 10+ weeks at #1..... 81 weeks Taylor Swift Spoiler Taylor Swift 12 - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT' (2024) 11 - 'Fearless' (2008) 11 - '1989' (2014) 8 - 'folklore' (2020) 7 - 'RED' (2012) 6 - 'Midnights' (2022) 6 - 'Speak Now' (2010) 6 - '1989 (Taylor's Version)' (2023) 4 - 'reputation' (2017) 4 - 'evermore' (2020) 2 - 'Fearless (Taylor's Version)' (2021) 2 - 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)' (2023) 1 - 'Lover' (2019) 1 - 'RED (Taylor's Version)' (2021) 46 weeks Whitney Houston Spoiler Whitney Houston 20 - 'The Bodyguard' (1992) 14 - 'Whitney Houston' (1985) 11 - 'Whitney' (1987) 1 - 'I Look To You' (2009) 40 weeks Adele Spoiler Adele 24 - '21' (2011) 10 - '25' (2015) 6 - '30' (2021) 30 weeks Mariah Carey Spoiler Mariah Carey 11 - 'Mariah Carey' (1990) 8 - 'Music Box' (1993) 6 - 'Daydream' (1995) 2 - 'The Emancipation Of Mimi' (2005) 2 - 'E=MC²' (2008) 1 - 'Butterfly' (1997) 27 weeks Barbra Streisand Spoiler Barbra Streisand 6 - 'A Star Is Born' (1976) 5 - 'People' (1965) 3 - 'Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits Vol. 2' (1978) 3 - 'Guilty' (1980) 3 - 'The Broadway Album' (1985) 2 - 'The Way We Were' (1974) 1 - 'Back To Broadway' (1993) 1 - 'Higher Ground' (1997) 1 - 'Love Is The Answer' (2009) 1 - 'Partners' (2014) 1 - 'Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway' (2016) 20 weeks Madonna Spoiler Madonna 6 - 'Like A Prayer' (1989) 5 - 'True Blue' (1986) 3 - 'Like A Virgin' (1984) 1 - 'Music' (2000) 1 - 'American Life' (2003) 1 - 'Confessions On A Dance Floor' (2005) 1 - 'Hard Candy' (2008) 1 - 'MDNA' (2012) 1 - 'Madame X' (2019) 19 weeks Carole King Spoiler Carole King 15 - 'Tapestry' (1971) 3 - 'Music' (1971) 1 - 'Wrap Around Joy' (1974) 16 weeks Janet Jackson Spoiler Janet Jackson 6 - 'janet.'

By the Water Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Taylor and Adele are so far above their peers
infrared Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Lover compared to the rest Some of these girls getting 8+ weeks while many struggling to get to 2.
littlebodybigheart Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 taylor not her getting 8+ weeks and 11+ weeks. adele with 24 weeks
Enzolorenzo Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Taylor’s gap will only get bigger. I can’t believe Lover is her only album to spend just one week in the top 10. I’m happy Britney made the list. Is there already a thread for females with most weeks in the top 10?

Miss Show Business Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Whitney having 46 weeks with only four albums and Adele having 34 weeks with only 2
ninasayers Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 who tf is soeur sourir the singing nun and the fact that rih has only spent 3 weeks at #1 is so funny to me like... the way she's been robbed so many times
Alejandro_ Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Pink, Rihanna, Katy and Selena having the same amount of weeks at #1. Instagram model really came thru!! Hahah love them all.
Russell22 Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Taylor will definitely have atleast 60 weeks when all is said and done. I can see Gaga passing Nora or even Alanis if she plays her cards right. Surprised at Celine so low.

This rock band named Tool released a comeback album which blocked Taylor. Then the week after that, Post's Hollywood Bleeding took the top spot for 3 consecutive weeks Edited January 13, 2021 by TayDine1989
