Bob Dylan lands his 18th top 10 album on The Billboard 200 this week as Tell TaleSigns: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8 enters the chart at #6. Only five artists have amassed more top 10 albums sinceBillboard published its first album chart (a top 10 listing) in March 1945.A total of 14 artists have accumulated 15 or more top 10 albums since 1945. The list includes many of the greatest stars in recording history. Most of these acts are still adding to their totals. Twelve have had top 10 albums within the last five years. Ten have reached the top 10 within just the last two years.
Frank Sinatra is the act with the most top 10 albums (40) and also the act with the longest span of top 10 albums (62 years). Ol' Blue Eyes landed his first top 10 album in the first year of Harry S. Truman's presidency. He landed his most recent in the last year of George W. Bush's.
I counted only albums that made the top 10 on The Billboard 200, not on such lower-profile charts as Top Catalog Albums or Top Christmas Albums. I counted each album just once, no matter how many times it hit the top 10. Bing Crosby's Merry Christmas cracked the top 10 in 13 different holiday seasons between 1945 and 1960. That's a great feat, but it's still just one top 10 album. (I'm happy to report that "Der Bingle" made the list anyway.)
Here's a list of all acts that have had 15 or more top 10 albums from March 1945 to this week. I broke ties by listing the acts in order of the longest span of top 10 albums.
