Greatest BB200 soloist of all ime for a reason

Too bad 1989 is gonna leave the chart soon

 

At least Lover, folklore and Evermore will help in the years to come 

[Hunter_13]

It'll be interesting if 1989 is able to hold on after the re-recording 

[byzantium]

Wow.  Taylor's lead and consistency.  Speak now and Lover are coming for the 3 year mark which will give her 7! albums. 

[Klein]

Adele with 21 was really out of this world. It will reach 11 years with ease. 

 

Taylor with so much consistency album after album. And will keep on building more years seeing how she charts 8 albums a week.  

 

Lana with one of the defining record of the 2010s 

[By the Water]

Speak Now only 7 weeks away from 3 years

 

[gustavothehuman]

Taylor and Adele OBLITERATING the competition 

[Johnny Jacobs]

Lana 

[Feanor]

Update

 

 

 

Rihanna's 2016 album "ANTI" has now completed 6 whole years (aka 312 weeks) on the Billboard 200 chart.

She now joins Adele, Carole King, Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift as the only female artists ever with an album charting 6 years (or longer)

We need Last Kiss to go viral I fear

 

[John Slayne]

Madonna is so impressive considering it was much harder to have chart longevity before streaming 

 

also Lana

It should chart for 6 weeks when Speak Now TV is announced 

[Feanor]

Update

 

 

Taylor's "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" has now completed one year on the BB200 chart, which moves Taylor ahead of Mariah Carey and makes her the sole female artist with the most albums charting 1 year (or longer)
