As you can see, most of the names in the list that have crossed 1,000+ weeks are acts from before the streaming era. That goes against every narrative that it was impossibly hard to chart for extensive periods of time.

Apr 8, 2025·1 replythegreatdivineAlso, to address your point, simply having many projects released doesn't mean you'll have many weeks charted. People still have to continue streaming those projects, enough for them to chart on the Billboard 200. If anything releasing more projects weakens your ability to keep them charting because you're giving your fanbase a lot more music to focus their attention on than if you had fewer projects out.
Regarding your calculations, what you're really supposed to measure are the number of projects available on streaming, not the projects that were released on a major label.
Running your own calculations that way, someone like Future, who currently has 30 projects available on streaming and has charted for 1,131 weeks, would have an average of 37.7 weeks per project. Kendrick Lamar, who currently has 8 projects available on streaming and has charted for 1,346 weeks, would have an average of 168.25 weeks per project. Drake, who has 16 projects available on streaming and has charted for 3,307 weeks, would have charted for 206.68 weeks per project.
By your own theory, shouldn't Future have charted for more weeks and also have a higher average of weeks charted per album? After all, he has more projects available on streaming than both Kendrick and Drake combined.
That doesn't make sense tbh. Less projects means your fanbase will get burnt out quicker and in turn consumption/streams will fall off quicker than the nigga with 16 albums.

All you need to do is go through the list to realize how wrong you are with this post lol.

What discussion were you looking for?
“Wow Drake has more plays than MJ and Pink Floyd”
Drake doesn’t have an album like Animals or Thriller
Just more Drake propaganda number bullshit made by bots to make them sleep at night

e t“Longest” charting acts is misleading because you’re counting multiple albums charting in the same week.
A better title is Highest Combined Album Weeks on the Billboard 200, because otherwise you’re implying that Drake has spent a longer amount of time on the Billboard 200 than The Beatles which is obviously untrue.
oh so they faking numbers again
