Billboard 200

January 01, 1970

This article is about the album chart concerning the United States. For the global song chart, see Billboard Global 200.

The Billboard 200 is a record chart ranking the 200 most popular music albums and EPs in the United States. It is published weekly by Billboard magazine to convey the popularity of an artist or groups of artists. Sometimes, a recording act is remembered for its "number ones" that outperformed all other albums during at least one week. The chart grew from a weekly top 10 list in 1956 to become a top 200 list in May 1967, acquiring its existing name in March 1992. Its previous names include the Billboard Top LPs (1961–1972), Billboard Top LPs & Tape (1972–1984), Billboard Top 200 Albums (1984–1985) and Billboard Top Pop Albums (1985–1992).

The chart is based mostly on sales – both at retail and digital – of albums in the United States. The weekly sales period was Monday to Sunday when Nielsen started tracking sales in 1991, but since July 2015, the tracking week begins on Friday (to coincide with the Global Release Day of the music industry) and ends on Thursday. A new chart is published the following Tuesday, post dated to the Saturday of that week, four days later.[1] The chart's streaming schedule is also tracked from Friday to Thursday.[2] New music is released by the music industry to the American market on Fridays. Digital downloads of albums are included in Billboard 200 tabulation. Albums that are not licensed for retail sale in the United States (yet purchased in the U.S. as imports) are not eligible to chart. A long-standing policy rendering titles that are sold exclusively by specific retail outlets (such as Walmart and Starbucks) ineligible for charting, was reversed on November 7, 2007, and took effect in the issue dated November 17, 2007.[3]

On December 13, 2014, Billboard began to include on-demand streaming and digital track sales (as measured by Nielsen SoundScan) using a new algorithm with data from all major on-demand audio subscription and online music sales services in the U.S.[4][5] Starting on the issue dated January 18, 2020, Billboard updated its method again by incorporating video data from YouTube, along with visual plays from digital platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Vevo and, as of the issue dated March 23, 2021, from Facebook.[6][7]

As of the issue dated April 27, 2024, the number-one album on the chart is We Still Don't Trust You by Future and Metro Boomin.[8]

History

Billboard began an album chart in 1945. Initially only five positions long, the album chart was not published on a weekly basis, with weeks sometimes passing before it was updated. A biweekly (though with a few gaps), 15-position "Best-Selling Popular Albums" chart appeared in 1955. With the increase in album sales as the early 1950s format wars stabilized into market dominance by 45 RPM singles and long-playing 12-inch albums – and with 78 RPM record and long-playing 10-inch album sales decreasing dramatically – Billboard premiered a weekly "Best-Selling Popular Albums" chart on March 24, 1956. The position count varied anywhere from 10 to 30 albums. The first no. 1 album on the new weekly list was Belafonte by Harry Belafonte. The chart was renamed "Best-Selling Pop Albums" later in 1956, and then "Best-Selling Pop LPs" in 1957.

Beginning on May 25, 1959, Billboard split the ranking into two charts: "Best-Selling Stereophonic LPs" for stereo albums (30 positions) and "Best-Selling Monophonic LPs" for mono albums (50 positions). These were renamed "Stereo Action Charts" (30 positions) and "Mono Action Charts" (40 positions), respectively, in 1960. In January 1961, they became "Action Albums – Stereophonic" (15 positions) and "Action Albums – Monophonic" (25 positions), and three months later, they became "Top LPs – Stereo" (50 positions) and "Top LPs – Monaural" (150 positions).

On August 17, 1963, the stereo and mono charts were combined into a 150-position chart called "Top LPs". On April 1, 1967, the chart was expanded to 175 positions, and then finally to 200 positions on May 13, 1967. In February 1972, the album chart's title was changed to "Top LPs & Tape"; in 1984, it was retitled "Top 200 Albums"; in 1985, it was retitled again to "Top Pop Albums"; in 1991, it became the "Billboard 200 Top Albums"; and it was given its current title of the "Billboard 200" on March 14, 1992.

From the end of 1970 to 1985, Billboard also printed a "Bubbling Under the Top LPs" albums chart paired with the "Bubbling Under the Hot 100" singles chart, which listed albums that had not yet charted on what was then the "Top LPs & Tape" chart.

Catalog albums

In 1960, Billboard began concurrently publishing album charts that ranked sales of older or mid-priced titles. These "Essential Inventory" charts were divided by stereo and mono albums, and featured titles that had already appeared on the main stereo and mono album charts. Mono albums were moved to the "Essential Inventory – Mono" chart (25 positions) after spending 40 weeks on the "Mono Action Chart", and stereo albums were moved to the "Essential Inventory – Stereo" chart (20 positions) after 20 weeks on the "Stereo Action Chart".

In January 1961, the "Action Charts" became "Action Albums – Stereophonic" (15 positions) and "Action Albums – Monophonic" (24 positions). Albums appeared on either chart for up to nine weeks, and were then moved to an "Essential Inventory" list of approximately 200 titles and with no numerical ranking. This list continued to be published until the consolidated "Top LPs" chart debuted in 1963.

In 1982, Billboard began publishing a "Midline Albums" chart (alternatively titled "Midline LPs"), which ranked older or mid-priced titles. The chart held 50 positions and was published on a biweekly (and later triweekly) basis.

On May 25, 1991, Billboard premiered the "Top Pop Catalog Albums" chart, the criteria for which were albums that were more than 18 months old and had fallen below no. 100 on the Billboard 200.[9] An album did not have to chart on the Billboard 200 to qualify for this chart.

"Both Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall should be in the Billboard Top 200," said former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters in 1992. "The Wall still does anything up to four million each year… They've created a catalog chart in which to place all these old albums, leaving the main chart free for all the artists the record companies will want to book advertising space for. It just offers further evidence of the dishonesty that's rife in this business."[10]

Starting with the issue dated December 5, 2009, however, the catalog limitations – which removed albums over 18 months old that had dropped below No. 100 and had no currently running singles – for the Billboard 200 were lifted, turning the chart into an all-inclusive list of the 200 highest-selling albums in the country (essentially changing "Top Comprehensive Albums" into the Billboard 200). A new chart that keeps the previous criteria for the Billboard 200 – dubbed the "Top Current Albums" chart – was also introduced in the same issue.[11]

Holiday albums

Billboard has adjusted its policies for Christmas[12] and holiday[12] albums several times. The albums were eligible for the main album charts until 1963, when a "Christmas Albums" chart was created. Albums appearing here were not listed on the "Top LPs" chart, and in 1974, this rule was reverted and holiday albums again appeared within the main list.

In 1983, the "Christmas Albums" chart was resurrected, but a title's appearance here did not disqualify it from appearing on the "Top Pop Albums" chart. In 1990, the chart was retitled "Top Holiday Albums"; as of 2009, it holds 50 positions and runs for several weeks during the end-of-calendar-year holiday season. Its current policy allows holiday albums to concurrently chart on the "Top Holiday Albums" list and the Billboard 200.

Nielsen SoundScan

Since May 25, 1991, the Billboard 200's positions have been derived from Nielsen SoundScan sales data; as of 2008, it is contributed to by approximately 14,000 music sellers. Because these numbers are supplied by a subset of sellers rather than record labels, it is common for these numbers to be substantially lower than those reported by the Recording Industry Association of America when Gold, Platinum and Diamond album awards are announced. (RIAA awards reflect wholesale shipments, not retail sales.)

Incorporation of streaming data and track sales

See also: album-equivalent unit and Top Album Sales

Beginning with the December 13, 2014, issue, Billboard updated the methodology of its album chart again, changing from a "pure sales-based ranking" to one measuring "multi-metric consumption".[4] With this overhaul, the Billboard 200 includes on-demand streaming and digital track sales (as measured by Nielsen SoundScan) by way of a new algorithm, utilizing data from all of the major on-demand audio subscription services, including Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play and Groove Music. Under the new methodology, 10 track sales or 1,500 song streams from an album are treated as equivalent to one purchase of the album. Billboard continues to publish a pure album sales chart, called "Top Album Sales", that maintains the traditional Billboard 200 methodology but is based exclusively on SoundScan's sales data.[4]

Beginning on January 18, 2020, Billboard incorporated video and audio data from YouTube, along with visual plays from streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and Vevo, into the Billboard 200. The change has also impacted Billboard's genre-specific album charts.[6]

Year-end charts

Billboard's "chart year" runs from the first week of December to the final week in November. This altered calendar allows for Billboard to calculate year-end charts and release them in time for its final print issue in the last week of December. Prior to Nielsen SoundScan, year-end charts were calculated by an inverse-point system based solely on an album's performance on the Billboard 200 (e.g., an album would be given one point for a week spent at No. 200, two points for a week spent at No. 199, etc., up to 200 points for each week spent at No. 1). Other factors, including an album's total weeks spent on the chart and its peak position, are calculated into an album's year-end total.

Since Billboard began obtaining sales information from Nielsen SoundScan, the year-end charts are now calculated by a very straightforward cumulative total of yearlong sales. This gives a more accurate picture of any given year's best-selling albums, as a title that hypothetically spent nine weeks at No. 1 in March could possibly have sold fewer copies than one spending six weeks at No. 3 in January. Albums at the peak of their popularity at the time of the November/December chart-year cutoff many times end up ranked lower than one would expect on a year-end tally, yet are ranked on the following year's chart as well, as their cumulative points are split between the two chart-years.

All-Time Billboard 200 achievements (1963–2015)

In 2015, Billboard compiled a ranking of the 100 best-performing albums on the Billboard 200 over its 52 years, along with the best-performing artists.[13] Shown below are the top 10 albums and top 10 artists over the 52-year period of the Billboard 200, through October 2015. Also shown are the artists placing the most albums on the overall "all-time" top 100 album list.

Additional milestones

  • The first album to debut at number one was Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy by Elton John.[145] John repeated the same feat with the album Rock of the Westies – the second album to debut at number one – making John the first artist to have two consecutive studio albums debut at number one.[145] Whitney Houston's second album, Whitney, was the first album by a female artist to debut at number one.[146]
  • In the early 1960s, Bob Newhart accomplished the feat of having the number one and number two albums simultaneously on the Billboard albums chart, with The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart and The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back! This was equaled by the Beatles multiple times: twice in 1964 with Meet The Beatles! and Introducing... The Beatles, and then with A Hard Day's Night and Something New, followed in 1969 by the album The Beatles (commonly known as The White Album) and the soundtrack for the film Yellow Submarine. In 1991, Guns N' Roses held the top two with Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II; in 2004, Nelly's Suit and Sweat; and in 2017, Future's Future and Hndrxx.[147]
  • The Sound of Music set the record of 109 non-consecutive weeks in the top 10 from May 1, 1965, to July 16, 1966, but only spent two weeks at number one on the Billboard 200.[148]
  • The only EPs to reach number one on the chart are Alice in Chains's Jar of Flies in 1994;[149] Linkin Park and Jay-Z's collaboration EP, Collision Course, in 2004;[150] the cast of the television series Glee with Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna and Glee: The Music, Journey to Regionals in 2010;[151] Bad Meets Evil's Hell: The Sequel in 2011;[152] The Weeknd's My Dear Melancholy in 2018;[153] BTS's Map of the Soul: Persona; SuperM's SuperM – The 1st Mini Album in 2019;,[154][142] Stray Kids' Oddinary and Maxident in 2022,[155][156] Tomorrow X Together's The Name Chapter: Temptation[157] and Stray Kids' Rock-Star in 2023.

  • Justin Bieber became the first artist in history to have five albums top the Billboard 200 at the age of 18, as Believe Acoustic debuted at number one on February 16, 2013. He also became the youngest solo artist to achieve this feat. Subsequently, Bieber (25 years, 360 days) became the youngest solo artist to achieve seven No. 1 albums on the chart with Changes, breaking a 59-year-old record set by Elvis Presley at the age of 26. He further extended his record, after turning 27, by becoming the youngest soloist to have eight albums top the Billboard 200, following the release of his sixth studio album, Justice, breaking yet another chart record held by Elvis Presley at the age of 29.[160][161]

This article is about the album chart concerning the United States For the global song chart see Billboard Global 200 The Billboard 200 is a record chart ranking the 200 most popular music albums and EPs in the United States It is published weekly by Billboard magazine to convey the popularity of an artist or groups of artists Sometimes a recording act is remembered for its number ones that outperformed all other albums during at least one week The chart grew from a weekly top 10 list in 1956 to become a top 200 list in May 1967 acquiring its existing name in March 1992 Its previous names include the Billboard Top LPs 1961 1972 Billboard Top LPs amp Tape 1972 1984 Billboard Top 200 Albums 1984 1985 and Billboard Top Pop Albums 1985 1992 The chart is based mostly on sales both at retail and digital of albums in the United States The weekly sales period was Monday to Sunday when Nielsen started tracking sales in 1991 but since July 2015 the tracking week begins on Friday to coincide with the Global Release Day of the music industry and ends on Thursday A new chart is published the following Tuesday post dated to the Saturday of that week four days later 1 The chart s streaming schedule is also tracked from Friday to Thursday 2 New music is released by the music industry to the American market on Fridays Digital downloads of albums are included in Billboard 200 tabulation Albums that are not licensed for retail sale in the United States yet purchased in the U S as imports are not eligible to chart A long standing policy rendering titles that are sold exclusively by specific retail outlets such as Walmart and Starbucks ineligible for charting was reversed on November 7 2007 and took effect in the issue dated November 17 2007 3 On December 13 2014 Billboard began to include on demand streaming and digital track sales as measured by Nielsen SoundScan using a new algorithm with data from all major on demand audio subscription and online music sales services in the U S 4 5 Starting on the issue dated January 18 2020 Billboard updated its method again by incorporating video data from YouTube along with visual plays from digital platforms like Apple Music Spotify Tidal Vevo and as of the issue dated March 23 2021 from Facebook 6 7 As of the issue dated April 27 2024 the number one album on the chart is We Still Don t Trust You by

album chart was not published on a weekly basis with weeks sometimes passing before it was updated A biweekly though with a few gaps 15 position Best Selling Popular Albums chart appeared in 1955 With the increase in album sales as the early 1950s format wars stabilized into market dominance by 45 RPM singles and long playing 12 inch albums and with 78 RPM record and long playing 10 inch album sales decreasing dramatically Billboard premiered a weekly Best Selling Popular Albums chart on March 24 1956 The position count varied anywhere from 10 to 30 albums The first no 1 album on the new weekly list was Belafonte by Harry Belafonte The chart was renamed Best Selling Pop Albums later in 1956 and then Best Selling Pop LPs in 1957 Beginning on May 25 1959 Billboard split the ranking into two charts Best Selling Stereophonic LPs for stereo albums 30 positions and Best Selling Monophonic LPs for mono albums 50 positions These were renamed Stereo Action Charts 30 positions and Mono Action Charts 40 positions respectively in 1960 In January 1961 they became Action Albums Stereophonic 15 positions and Action Albums Monophonic 25 positions and three months later they became Top LPs Stereo 50 positions and Top LPs Monaural 150 positions On August 17 1963 the stereo and mono charts were combined into a 150 position chart called Top LPs On April 1 1967 the chart was expanded to 175 positions and then finally to 200 positions on May 13 1967 In February 1972 the album chart s title was changed to Top LPs amp Tape in 1984 it was retitled Top 200 Albums in 1985 it was retitled again to Top Pop Albums in 1991 it became the Billboard 200 Top Albums and it was given its current title of the Billboard 200 on March 14 1992 From the end of 1970 to 1985 Billboard also printed a Bubbling Under the Top LPs albums chart paired with the Bubbling Under the Hot 100 singles chart which listed albums that had not yet charted on what was then the Top LPs amp Tape chart Catalog albums In 1960 Billboard began concurrently publishing album charts that ranked sales of older or mid priced titles These Essential Inventory charts were divided by stereo and mono albums and featured titles that had already appeared on the main stereo and mono album charts Mono albums were moved to the Essential Inventory Mono chart 25 positions after spending 40 weeks on the Mono Action Chart and stereo albums were moved to the Essential Inventory Stereo chart 20 positions after 20 weeks on the Stereo Action Chart In January 1961 the Action Charts became Action Albums Stereophonic 15 positions and Action Albums Monophonic 24 positions Albums appeared on either chart for up to nine weeks and were then moved to an Essential Inventory list of approximately 200 titles and with no numerical ranking This list continued to be published until the consolidated Top LPs chart debuted in 1963 In 1982 Billboard began publishing a Midline Albums chart alternatively titled Midline LPs which ranked older or mid priced titles The chart held 50 positions and was published on a biweekly and later triweekly basis On May 25 1991 Billboard premiered the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart the criteria for which were albums that were more than 18 months old and had fallen below no 100 on the Billboard 200 9 An album did not have to chart on the Billboard 200 to qualify for this chart Both Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall should be in the Billboard Top 200 said former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters in 1992 The Wall still does anything up to four million each year They ve created a catalog chart in which to place all these old albums leaving the main chart free for all the artists the record companies will want to book advertising space for It just offers further evidence of the dishonesty that s rife in this business 10 Starting with the issue dated December 5 2009 however the catalog limitations which removed albums over 18 months old that had dropped below No 100 and had no currently running singles for the Billboard 200 were lifted turning the chart into an all inclusive list of the 200 highest selling albums in the country essentially changing Top Comprehensive Albums into the Billboard 200 A new chart that keeps the previous criteria for the Billboard 200 dubbed the Top Current Albums chart was also introduced in the same issue 11 Holiday albums Billboard has adjusted its policies for Christmas 12 and holiday 12 albums several times The albums were eligible for the main album charts until 1963 when a Christmas Albums chart was created Albums appearing here were not listed on the Top LPs chart and in 1974 this rule was reverted and holiday albums again appeared within the main list In 1983 the Christmas Albums chart was resurrected but a title s appearance here did not disqualify it from appearing on the Top Pop Albums chart In 1990 the chart was retitled Top Holiday Albums as of 2009 update it holds 50 positions and runs for several weeks during the end of calendar year holiday season Its current policy allows holiday albums to concurrently chart on the Top Holiday Albums list and the Billboard 200 Nielsen SoundScan Since May 25 1991 the Billboard 200 s positions have been derived from Nielsen SoundScan sales data as of 2008 update it is contributed to by approximately 14 000 music sellers Because these numbers are supplied by a subset of sellers rather than record labels it is common for these numbers to be substantially lower than those reported by the Recording Industry Association of America when Gold Platinum and Diamond album awards are announced RIAA awards reflect wholesale shipments not retail sales Incorporation of streaming data and track sales See also album equivalent unit and Top Album Sales Beginning with the December 13 2014 issue Billboard updated the methodology of its album chart again changing from a pure sales based ranking to one measuring multi metric consumption 4 With this overhaul the Billboard 200 includes on demand streaming and digital track sales as measured by Nielsen SoundScan by way of a new algorithm utilizing data from all of the major on demand audio subscription services including Spotify Apple Music Google Play and Groove Music Under the new methodology 10 track sales or 1 500 song streams from an album are treated as equivalent to one purchase of the album Billboard continues to publish a pure album sales chart called Top Album Sales that maintains the traditional Billboard 200 methodology but is based exclusively on SoundScan s sales data 4 Beginning on January 18 2020 Billboard incorporated video and audio data from YouTube along with visual plays from streaming services like Apple Music Spotify Tidal and Vevo into the Billboard 200 The change has also impacted Billboard s genre specific album charts 6 Year end chartsBillboard s chart year runs from the first week of December to the final week in November This altered calendar allows for Billboard to calculate year end charts and release them in time for its final print issue in the last week of December Prior to Nielsen SoundScan year end charts were calculated by an inverse point system based solely on an album s performance on the Billboard 200 e g an album would be given one point for a week spent at No 200 two points for a week spent at No 199 etc up to 200 points for each week spent at No 1 Other factors including an album s total weeks spent on the chart and its peak position are calculated into an album s year end total Since Billboard began obtaining sales information from
