Morgan Wallen, Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift & More Artists With Most Weeks at No. 1 on Top Country Albums Chart: Full List
Male solo artists dominate, though three female solo artists and two groups have also achieved the feat.
Morgan Wallen has held the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart for the 48th consecutive week as of August 15, 2022. This brings his total career weeks at No. 1 to 234, breaking the record for the most weeks at No. 1 in the chart's 62-year history. Wallen surpassed the previous mark, held by Garth Brooks, on the same day he first achieved this milestone.
The chart debuted as Hot Country Albums on January 11, 1964, with Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire (The Best of Johnny Cash)" leading the inaugural list. The chart was originally called Hot Country LPs from 1968 to 1984 before becoming Top Country Albums. Only one Black artist has achieved 50 or more weeks at No. 1, a statistic that may change as the country music industry becomes more diverse.
A total of 21 artists have logged 50 or more weeks at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, with male solo artists leading the pack, followed by three female solo artists and two groups, including one all-female group.
