Yeah Rumours would have been at #1 but nobody really counts this album in when talking about female stats. And The Bodyguard is carried so hard by I Will Always Love You. Its the only reason people bought it and was marketed with Whitney Houston's name as a soloist

[Literature]

lets just combine midnights and sos together 

 

Midnights + SOS – (Taylor Swift and SZA) – 11 weeks

? Whitney's version is on the Bodyguard so why should it be credited to Dolly? What are you even talking about. The Bodyguard is a Whitney Houston album and everybody on the world agrees with this. Which is why when she won AOTY she was the only one taking the thropy home

[UnusualBoy]

21 with 24 weeks is still insane till this day, I doubt that number will be passed anytime soon by a female or male, the closest we've had nowadays has been Dangerous with 10 weeks and the other awful album with 13 weeks.

[Hunter_13]

Taylor is crazy 

[Kh-Loud]

Bad Girls – Donna Summer - 6 weeks

Janet. – Janet Jackson - 6 weeks

SOS – SZA - 6* weeks

[GentleEarthquake]

21 was such a behemoth 

[chaklux]

21 is on another level. The fact that it was all organic. No discounted multiple versions released after the initial release just to secure extra number ones. 

[Feanor]

SOS is coming for the top 5.

Just like Speak Now, Red, 1989, and folklore  All organic. Adele and Taylor queens of the BB200.

[luckythisway]

Its still doing 120k in its 6th week and nothing big is slated to be released anytime soon. I think 11 weeks+ isnt out of the ordinary. 

[Alex]

SOS is coming
