Taylor Swift, The Beatles, Elvis & More Artists With the Most Weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200: Full List
Drake is now tied with Elton John.

By holding at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated June 6) with Iceman, Drake ups his career total of weeks at No. 1 on that chart to 39. That extends his lead as the hip-hop artist with the most weeks at No. 1 and the Canadian artist with the most weeks at No. 1.
Drake is now tied with Elton John, who had 39 weeks at No. 1 from 1972 to 1975. John’s span of No. 1 albums – not quite 3-1/2 years – doesn’t reflect his status as a dominant figure in pop music for more than half a century. John was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. Will Drake one day join him?
Drake’s No. 1 albums span nearly 16 years, from July 2010 to June 2026.
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.
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.
