Really love these Number One albums posts and the whole new-to-me Cash Box perspective is most welcome.
ReplyDeleteThe music chart geek in me would really like to see a side by side chart with Billboard chart toppers for context or when an album stays at top for four or more weeks, what the Number Two album(s) was/were during those extended runs like that incredible consecutive half-year run by Rumours. Over on the Billboard chart, it rocked the top spot for 29 non-consecutive weeks in 1977 with the longest streak of 19 weeks interrupted by Barry Manilow Live album for a week or it could have had 27 weeks in a row at the pole position. It also racked up 11 weeks at Number Two.
Side by side? You got it! Stay tuned.
