[Armani?]

Why is there no Billboard page for Olivia Newton? 

[NOW]

Lana's 10-year album still charting today, now that's what I call a classic

Wasn't Gaga supposed to be an album artist?  

Album artist, diamond (solo) singles, Oscar winner, Grammy winner, can sing live (and she does it so well), piano player, successful acting and singing careers, respected by singing and acting legends and admired by younger successful artists. Literally the whole package.

That’s what I thought as well. Waiting for an answer from the Monster squad.

Such a weird thing to measure

Measuring how long artists' albums have charted is... weird?

only thanks to Anti's success. Serving Lana Del Rey with Born To Die

Now I know you didn't say that when MOST charted longer than ARTPOP and AGLM charted longer than Chromatica.

5 studio albums (in this case I'll consider TFM an EP ) VS 8 studio albums 

And since you want to consider TFM an EP ()... Anti represents 40% of Rihanna's BB200 weeks. TF(M) is 50% of Gaga's (and still 40% if you don't count Monster)

H.E.R is still charting, not sure why you grouped her with Meghan Trainor & Lorde who are basically done for good

 

But fine, I'll post Ciara's embarrassing numbers..

She had her moments as a solo.

 

LSTB ST was a #1 album and TMITM and Diana Ross (76) were top 5 albums as well. 1980's Diana was a smash album and '81's WDFFIL was similarly a hit album. She was mostly done after that, but she had a good showing. 

 

Like @idkwiam mentioned her total probably includes albums that were billed to Diana Ross & The Supremes as well. Their 2 collaboration albums with the Temptations in the late 60's were huge successes. Their first peaked at #2 and the second, which was a live album for their TCB special hit #1 in early '69.

 

Yes for some reason Billboard counts Diana Ross & The Supremes albums as duo rather than a group on BB200. 

They don't apply the same thing for H100.

[hummingbird12]

Helsey has more than Christina , Toni Braxton, Shakira . mega mess. US taste is questionable 

[PopFan1996]

Adele did that with only 3 albums

The chart formula is different cuz of streaming, but I am surprised Halsey's albums had longevity tbh

 

Also Toni barely dropped albums when she was popular & Christina's career was frontloaded

Take this with a pinch of salt - imagine being #199 for ages

Not a dig at anyone honestly but album charts don't mean as much as they did, especially when you can get big single and have the album linger around as the SPS count for album sales

A single song cant carry an entire album to be top 200 for 100+ weeks unless it's a Old Town Road/Sunflower level type of song

 

Even then, look at Camila's weeks

[SavagePapi]

Barbra!

 

Ended all of our faves, as she should!!

This!

 

I understand why they include streams of singles in albums sales now, because you can't NOT in a streaming era, but it definitely changes the way we should compare albums released in or slightly before the streaming era, and those released several years or even decades before it.

 

Actually having to LEAVE YOUR HOUSE to go out and physically find the album in exchange for money will always show a far deeper and important connection to the listener than simply having a hit that everyone listens to and boosts the album sales.
