I already have Bob Marley's legend at 890 weeks as of this week (comprising of the 888 weeks that the OCC site has, plus two weeks for which the charts are wrong on the OCC site, w/e Jan 6, 1996 (#94) and Jan 13, 1996 (#100)). Next to that I have Nirvana's Nevermind at 331 weeks. Regards, Ronnie PS I see some other small discrepancies with my numbers for a couple albums, which I'm figuring out now.

I've heard that 'Legend' is 2 Weeks too few before. It is very hard to get The OCC to correct things, so I doubt if they will ever give 'Legend' its 2 missing Weeks. I see that on W/E 6th January 1996 they have 'ABBA Gold' at No.80. Other sources say that it was at No.85 that Week... This post has been edited by zeus555: 3rd August 2019, 10:41 PM

I consider the original charts (as published in Music Week, Record Mirror and/or Hit Music) to be the correct ones and I've tried to fix all OCC's errors in my database. Today I did a comparison and I think the differences between your and my numbers can all be explained by either correcting OCC's mistakes or not. I have: - Bob Marley's "Legend", as discussed above, at 890 weeks, - Queen's "Greatest Hits" at 860 weeks (I guess you add the 7 weeks where the combined set of albums "Greatest Hits 1 & 2" charted in Nov/Dec 1994 and I give that a separate chart entry), - Oasis' "(What's The Story) Morning Glory" at 394 weeks (because OCC has an incorrect chart for Jul 10, 1999 and the album didn't actually chart that week), - Fleetwood Mac's "The Very Best Of" at 363 weeks (I guess you excluded the 3 weeks in 2017/2018 which OCC incorrectly say are for a different album, but I believe are in fact for the same album), - Madonna's "The Immaculate Collection" at 342 weeks (she did chart in the actual Jul 10, 1999 chart at #89 giving her an extra week), Cheers, Ronnie PS the Jan 6, 1996 chart is indeed wrong on OCC website, ABBA should be at #85 This post has been edited by RonnieV: 4th August 2019, 05:53 PM
