Can Taylor gon snatch the most weeks at the #2 position with 1989
Paul Grien did a blog about this topic in is Yahoo Chart Watch blog a few years back. 21 spent 24 weeks at #1 AND #2, but I'm not sure if that's the record or not. A lot of albums with lengthy stays at the top of the BB 200 have spent a lot of weeks in the runner-up slot as well. If you go on Bing, you might track down that blog.
