October 25, 201014 yr Dannyboy - If you do a similar List for No.1 Albums, it is best to leave out Film Soundtracks. This is because in the 1950's, & early 1960's, they so dominated the Charts, that the 3 Albums with the most Weeks at No.1, are all Soundtracks, even to this day:, 1) 'South Pacific' - 115 Weeks at No.1 (1958) 2) 'The Sound Of Music' - 70 Weeks at No.1 (1965) 3) 'The King & I' - 48 Weeks at No.1 (1956) To stop such Albums dominating my Lists, I leave them out - but say where they would have been, had I included them. (That goes for all Various Artist Film Soundtracks - 'Westside Story', 'Saturday Night Fever', & 'Grease' etc.). 'Evita' is usually regarded as a Madonna & Various Artists, Soundtrack, so I count that one. I add it to her No.1 Albums too - for that is what The OCC, & UK Chart Books do.
