Morgan Wallen Becomes First Artist to Have Two Albums Spend 100 Weeks in Billboard 200 Top 10

Morgan Wallen reaches another Billboard chart milestone, as his latest studio album, One Thing at a Time, collects its 100th nonconsecutive week in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated March 15). It’s his second album to notch at least 100 weeks in the region, following his previous studio set, Dangerous: The Double Album, which surpassed 100 weeks on the Dec. 24, 2022-dated chart, and currently has 158 total weeks in the region – the most of any album by a singular artist.

Wallen is the only singular act with two albums (or even one album) with at least 100 weeks in the top 10.

On the March 15, 2025-dated chart, One Thing at a Time holds at No. 9, while Dangerous climbs 15-12. Both titles debuted atop the list, with One Thing at a Time spending 19 weeks at No. 1 in 2023-24, and Dangerous notching 10 weeks in the lead in 2021.

Since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular weekly basis, with the March 24, 1956-dated chart, the album with the most weeks in the top 10 is the original cast recording of the stage musical My Fair Lady, with 173 weeks in the top 10 between 1956-60. Of the six albums with at least 100 weeks in the top 10, four are either cast recordings or film soundtracks.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multimetric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

Because of how the Billboard 200 chart is now compiled, where streaming activity is blended with album sales and track sales, albums tend to spend a longer time on the list thanks to continued streaming activity. The chart only began utilizing streaming information in its methodology in December 2014. Previous to then, the chart was based solely on traditional album sales.

Also, a lengthy tracklist with multiple popular songs can help accrue large streaming totals, so albums like One Thing at a Time and Dangerous (each with more than 30 songs apiece) benefit from the continued weekly streams of their long tracklists.

Further, older albums (known as catalog albums; generally defined today as titles at least 18 months old), were mostly restricted from charting on the Billboard 200 from May 25, 1991-Nov. 28, 2009. After that, catalog and current (new/recently released) albums chart together on the Billboard 200. In turn, older albums now regularly spend hundreds of weeks on the chart. On the March 15, 2025-dated list, for example, there are more than 30 albums with least 400 total weeks on the chart. Before the rule change in December 2009, allowing catalog albums back onto the chart, only three albums had spent more than 400 weeks on the list – led by Pink Floyd’s chart-topping The Dark Side of the Moon. Today, it continues to hold the record for the most weeks on the list, with 990.
