Feanor Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (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..... 51 weeks Taylor Swift Spoiler Taylor Swift 11 – Fearless (2008) 6 – Speak Now (2010) 7 – RED (2012) 11 – 1989 (2014) 4 – reputation (2017) 1 – Lover (2019) 8 – folklore (2020) 3 – evermore (2020) 46 weeks Whitney Houston Spoiler Whitney Houston 14 – Whitney Houston (1985) 11 – Whitney (1987) 20 – The Bodyguard (1992) 1 – I Look To You (2009) 34 weeks Adele Spoiler Adele 24 – 21 (2011) 10 – 25 (2015) 30 weeks Mariah Carey Spoiler Mariah Carey 11 – Mariah C arey (1990) 8 – Music Box (1993) 6 – Daydream (1995) 1 – Butterfly (1997) 2 – The Emancipation Of Mimi (2005) 2 – E=MC² (2008) 27 weeks Barbra Streisand Spoiler Barbra Streisand 5 – People (1964) 2 – The Way We Were (1974) 6 – A Star Is Born (1976) 3 – Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (1978) 3 – Guilty (1980) 3 – The Broadway Album (1985) 1 – Back To Broadway (1993) 1 – Higher Gro und (1997) 1 – Love Is The Answer (2009) 1 – Partners (2014) 1 – Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway (2016) 20 weeks Madonna Spoiler Madonna 3 – Like A Virgin (1984) 5 – True Blue (1986) 6 – Like A Prayer (1989) 1 – Music (2000) 1 – American Life (20 03) 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 2 – Control (1986) 4 – Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989) 6 – janet.

Enzolorenzo Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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.
