Thanks, that's the way it should be in my view. I was a little annoyed Australia (ARIA) seems to separate them).

As far as the UK goes I presume this will always be combined right? I think at the time of release you weren’t able to actually buy just The Fame Monster and the release of TFM in the UK was always just seen as the deluxe edition of The Fame. It would feel so off now if The Fame Monster was to chart to its own accord but I don’t think there’s a way it could now right?

 

They are separate eras but it would’ve intrigued me to see what sales would be like had they been split as I’m pretty sure The Fame Monster would’ve also went to #1 here in the UK. Looking at its weeks at #1 the original The Fame album spent four weeks in a row at #1 (12 weeks after its release but this tied in with Poker Faces time at #1 as at one point she achieved the chart double) then after the re release the Fame Monster had three non consecutive weeks at the top in early 2010.

 

I imagine she’d have charted consistently with both albums through to around 2011 time. The sales being combined though means The Fame is amongst the very highest sellers in UK history in terms of sales and it’s racking up its chart weeks now too :heart:

279 weeks means she’s overtook Jess Glynne debut album on the all time weeks chart (for weeks on the top 100).

 

51st now of all time (if we do a just studio albums list though it’s actually probably higher I’ll actually check this out but when I’ve had a quick look I believe it’s #25 on the all time list of just studio albums excluding Greatest Hits / Soundtracks). This is for weeks on the top 100 albums in the UK.

 

300 weeks should be the next milestone now.

 

As of right now these are the only female (studio) albums with more weeks. I think she may well overtake Tracys album at some point this calendar year as her album isn’t as much of a chart staple as the rest in the streaming era. 2014 was the last time that appeared where as the albums below are all appeared on the top 100 this week.

 

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black (544 - combined with deluxe)

Adele - 21 (401)

Dua Lipa - Dua Lipa (339)

Taylor Swift - 1989 (338)

Adele - 25 (326)

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (312)

Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman (292)
