PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U enters the Billboard 200 (dated Mar. 1, 2025) at No. 1, upping Drake’s career total of weeks at No. 1 to 37. That extends his lead as the hip-hop artist with the most weeks at No. 1 in the history of the chart.
Drake has also logged more weeks at No. 1 than any other Canadian artist.
Three of Drake’s No. 1 albums are collaborations, with three different artists: Future (What a Time to Be Alive), 21 Savage (Her Loss) and PARTYNEXTDOOR. The Beatles continue to lead all artists, with 132 weeks on top between 1964 and 2001.
A few quick notes: While Elvis Presley’s feats on the Billboard Hot 100 are shortchanged by the fact that his breakthrough in 1956 pre-dated the launch of Billboard’s flagship songs chart by more than two years, the Billboard 200 captures Presley’s entire career. His debut album, Elvis Presley, entered the chart at No. 11 in the issue dated March 31, 1956 – which was the chart’s second week.
If you count the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (which logged 24 weeks at No. 1 in 1978) as a Bee Gees album, the trio had 31 weeks on top. Bee Gees had six tracks on the album — five of which were No. 1 hits on the Hot 100. But Billboard counts it as a multi-artist soundtrack album.
Morgan Wallen may be the next artist to top the Billboard 200 for 30 total weeks. He has logged 29 weeks at No. 1 so far, thanks to the combined strength of Dangerous: The Double Album (10 weeks on top) and One Thing at a Time (19 weeks).
Here’s a look at all acts with 30 or more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since March 24, 1956, when the chart began publishing on a consistent weekly basis. Ties are shown in alphabetical order.
