UPDATED


1) Whitney Houston - 46 Weeks
Whitney Houston (14), Whitney (11), The Bodyguard (20), I Look to You (1)


2) Mariah Carey - 30 Weeks
Mariah Carey (11), Music Box (8), Daydream (6), Butterfly (1), The Emancipation of Mimi (2), E=MC² (2)


3) Taylor Swift - 29 Weeks

Taylor could snatch Mariah early next year.

whitney and mariah

Queen Messiah and Lord Keys

Adele with one. damn. album.

Tay

It's only a matter of time before Whitney falls prey to Taylor. Maybe with her next album.

Tay can snatch #1 after her next 2-3 albums

Wow at Britney being #10

10) Britney Spears - 11 Weeks
...Baby One More Time (6), Oops!... I Did It Again (1), Britney (1), In the Zone (1), Circus (1), Femme Fatale (1)

Such a flop Blackout should've gotten a week at #1 and OIDIA was done so wrong. It spent 15 weeks at #2

they are flops

It's not that many i mean "21" spent 24 weeks at #2 ...

But for 21 to spend weeks at #2 it barely had to do six figure numbers each week. OIDIA was shifting over half a million copies some weeks and was still missing the #1 spot
