Morgan Wallen Matches Adele And Elvis With Another Week At No. 1 appeared on www.forbes.com by Hugh McIntyre.
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – NOVEMBER 10: Morgan Wallen performs onstage during CASH FEST In Celebration … [+]
Morgan Wallen leads the Billboard 200 chart this week with his blockbuster release One Thing at a Time. As the country star earns another turn at No. 1, his set joins an exclusive club and helps the singer match an impressive feat that’s only been managed by a handful of the biggest names in music history.
One Thing at a Time rules the Billboard 200 for a nineteenth nonconsecutive week this time around. Not many albums have racked up 19 turns at No. 1 on Billboard’s ranking of the most-consumed titles in the U.S., and Wallen is in spectacular company.
Wallen’s latest full-length is one of only 12 to spend 19 weeks at No. 1, in fact, according to Billboard. It’s been well over a decade since a new release has hit that mark. One Thing at a Time is the first set to do so since Adele’s 21 managed the showing between 2011 and 2012.
The record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 is still held by the West Side Story soundtrack. That project will likely never be beaten, as no other effort has come even close to its performance, even in the half-century since it was released. That beloved collection earned 54 stays atop the tally–more than a full year in total.
In between West Side Story and One Thing at a Time are 10 other albums, which have all lived at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for at least 20 weeks (Wallen’s latest is alone with its 19 frames). That list includes Michael Jackson’s Thriller (37 weeks), Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours (31), the South Pacific soundtrack (31), Harry Belafonte’s Calypso (31), Adele’s 21 (24), Prince and The Revolution’s Purple Rain soundtrack (24), Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (24), M.C. Hammer’s Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em (21), Whitney Houston’s Bodyguard soundtrack (20), and Elvis Presley’s Blue Hawaii soundtrack (20).
Whether or not One Thing at a Time can collect a milestone twentieth week at No. 1 is yet to be seen, but it won’t do so next frame. Ariana Grande is all but assured to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with her new album Eternal Sunshine, which is headed for a very healthy start.
One Thing at a Time returns to the highest rung on the Billboard 200 just after it celebrates a special anniversary. The set has now lived on the chart for 53 weeks, or just over a year. Last frame, when it reached 52 weeks on the tally, it was only down in the runner-up rung.
