Pink Floyd Song Ranking Thread - Lists Due 5/1 (1 Viewer)

I remember seeing this list somewhere, and I am pretty sure albums by CCR and Guns N' Roses are both in there. Can't recall which. Would be easy to think Appetite for the latter, but it might have been a compilation album.
It's a double.

01 - Pink Floyd - DSOTM - 978 weeks
02 - Bob Marley - Legend - 777 weeks
03 - Journey - Greatest Hits - 756 weeks
04 - Metallica - Metallica (aka the Black Album) - 706 weeks
05 - CCR - Chronicle (Greatest Hits) - 636 weeks -
06 - 626 weeks
07 - Guns N' Roses - Greatest Hits - 619 weeks
08 - 618 weeks
09 - 612 weeks
10 - Michael Jackson - Thriller - 568 weeks
 
Nirvana - Nevermind?
01 - Pink Floyd - DSOTM - 978 weeks
02 - Bob Marley - Legend - 777 weeks

05 - CCR - Chronicle (Greatest Hits) - 636 weeks -
06 - 626 weeks
07 - Guns N' Roses - Greatest Hits - 619 weeks
08 - 618 weeks
09 - Nirvana - Nevermind - 612 weeks
10 - Michael Jackson - Thriller - 568 weeks
 
This is more about BIllboard and not really Floyd (since they aren't on the list), but it's hilarious how far ahead of the pack the Beatles still are when it comes to most weeks having any album at number 1 on the Billboard 200.

Most cumulative weeks at No. 1​

List of acts with the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since August 17, 1963.

I am surprised by the number of compilation/greatest hit type albums filling up this list.

I think it's easy to forget that for every one of us who is a diehard music fan who listens to the album, there are many, many more casual fans who just want the hits and are content with a greatest hits by most bands.

Gotta be a rap artist in there like Drake, Eminem or West.

Taylor's monster albums haven't been around long enough yet to have the weeks to make that top 10.

Taking nothing away from Journey as they owned the late 1970s and early 1980s AOR somewhat.. but kinda sucks a Greatest Hits album makes the list. Was thinking more actual albums, not compilations.
One of the remaining ones is from your state.
Gotta be Eminem
Ghost Rider keeps lighting the lamp today.

#57 - Scorpion (249 weeks)
#72 - Views (360 weeks)
#97 - More Life (299 weeks)
#116 - Honestly, Nevermind (42 weeks)
#170 - Nothing Was The Same (170 weeks)

Taylor currently has 9 albums in the Top 100.

#6 - Midnights (24 weeks)

#79 - Speak Now (174 weeks)
 
David, did I read correctly that this data wasn't tabulated until 1991?
Where did you read this? I didn't mention anything about 1991.
Surfing. Looks like a poorly written article.

I did come across this...

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, albums that have dropped below No. 100 and albums that 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]

I posted earlier today that there are a ton of old albums in the current Top 200 album chart. Not the Catalog albums chart. The regular chart including new and recent releases.
 
Black Eyed Peas? JT or Bruno? I originally expected Steve Miller Band Greatest hits to be up there. huh

Looks like from 1991 to almost 2010 anything 18 months and older below 100 was moved to another list. Is that correct?
