The Billboard 200, a prominent all-genre chart in the US, has been documenting album sales since 1956. It remains significant for artists aiming for the top spot, highlighting the commercial success of diverse genres. Among the few who have achieved notable recognition, The Beatles lead with the highest number of No. 1 albums, totaling 19. Following closely are Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, and Drake, tied with 11 albums each. It's noteworthy that while Elvis Presley is often mentioned, his major hits predate the current Billboard 200 standards, underscoring the evolving nature of music sales rankings.
Since it began publishing weekly in 1956, the Billboard 200 has tracked the best-selling albums in the US. Today, it's still an impressive feat to reign atop the chart, especially with several different albums.
Nine acts in Billboard history have topped the chart at least 10 different times. The Beatles have the most No. 1 albums with 19. Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, and Drake are tied for second.
