Just got me thinking that it's quite rare for artists to have two top albums at the same time, have any achieved more than this?

 

Thanks in advance

That'd be an interesting thing to find out! Maybe The Beatles did back in the day? Or Elvis? He used to release albums weekly it seems :P

I checked this Chart statistic this afternoon.

 

The Beatles never managed to have 3 Albums in the Top 10. They had 2

Albums in the Top 10 many times. This includes being No.1 for a 30th Week

with 'Please Please Me', in the Chart of 30th November 1963. 'With The Beatles'

Entered at No.2 in the same Chart. In the 7th December Chart 'With The Beatles'

rose to No.1, & 'Please Please Me' dropped to No.2. That was the 1st of 18 Weeks

where they were at those Positions - mostly consecutive, but sometimes 'Please

Me Please Me' dropped, & then rose to No.2 again.

 

JIM REEVES

 

The person who dominated the Top 20 in the Album Chart, the most was Jim Reeves.

He was killed in a Plane Crash on July 30th 1964. He was 40.

wow.....how did you come up with all this data?? thanx lots

Prince had 3 albums in the top ten in 1993.

 

Frank, I realised that I'd forgotten to include Prince, so I've now added

him. He's the only one, (with 3 Albums in the Top 10), to have all 3 as New

Entries to the Chart.

Last year an artist had three albums in the top 11 (not sure the exact order) any guesses as to who?

Neil Diamond had 3 Albums in the Top 11 in 2008, at one time.

 

W/E 21st June 2008

 

No.2 - 'Home Before Dark'

No.7 - 'The Best Of'

No.11 - 'The Essential''
