Inconsistency in update for CCR album entry in 'Most weeks on the chart' subsection

In the latest edit to the Most weeks on the chart subsection, the value for the entry Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits by Creedence Clearwater Revival was changed from 554 to 564 (rather than 555), even though this section is updated on a weekly basis by user Sbb618. This obvious inconsistency issue comes straight from the Billboard 200 chart at the Billboard.com website, and the issue is possibly related to their recent update to the site's layout/appearance. I've contacted Billboard directly about this obvious inconsistency for this entry, though I'm not very confident that they will respond. Sliv812 (talk) 01:45, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Even worse, it didn't go from 554 to 564, which could be explained as a simple typo. Last week it was listed at 549, and this total is still seen on last week's chart. So either Billboard discovered 14 weeks they had just forgotten about, or this is a very weird typo. I am very interested in seeing what the true answer is. Sbb618 (talk) 02:53, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Sbb618, I noticed that too before contacting Billboard yesterday, and I also mentioned to them that the Wks On Chart value for the Creedence Clearwater Revival compilation album was 549 on the chart dated November 20, 2021. This obvious glitch does make me wonder if there are other entries on the Billboard 200 chart (and/or other Billboard charts) that now have incorrect values for their Wks On Chart. I guess the quality control testing for their new website layout wasn't as robust as it could have been. Sliv812 (talk) 00:03, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Encanto soundtrack “by various artists”

We need to put “by various artists” when the two words proceeding it are “Encanto soundtrack.” We know it’s the soundtrack and all that does is create redundancy and looks like trash, grammatically. Keep it simple…

There's a section that mentions that Eminem's "Music to be Murdered By" didn't top the chart. It did, only its deluxe version ("Music to be Murdered By - Side B) that peaked at number 3. 2804:14D:688E:444:E84D:882C:EFC3:2A95 (talk) 13:45, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Springsteen - first artist to have Top 5 albums through six decades?

How can this be right? Streisand had Top 5 albums through six decades by 2011, a few years before Springsteen did it in 2020. In fact, I she had number one albums in six decades too, which is an even bigger feat. Am I missing something? 90.241.132.72 (talk) 19:05, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

The Most albums in the top 200 simultaneously has many mistake, first and for most I consider it weird that you only clarify the amount of times for Taylor. I'll put the amount of times for each artist but in my opinion I would just the put the amount of albums and delete the times Taylor did it for clarification.

For this reason I'll separate my request into 2 parts, those that are missing or that has numbers wrongs and another one for amount of times.

First missing/wrong ones:

The Beatles did 14 on 2010-12-04

Herb Alpert had 9 albums a total of 4 times (1968-05-11 / 1968-05-18 / 1968-05-25 / 1968-06-01)

Drake now has done 8 albums following the release of Her Loss, he did it 7 times (2022-11-19 / 2022-11-26 / 2022-12-03 / 2023-01-21 / 2023-01-28 / 2023-02-04 / 2023-02-11)

Nat King Cole did 8 albums 6 times (1965-04-10 / 1965-04-17 / 1965-04-24 / 1965-05-01 / 1965-05-08 / 1965-05-15)

John Fitzgerald Kennedy did 8 albums 2 times (1964-02-08 / 1964-02-15)

U2 did 7 albums for 22 weeks (1987-04-25 / 1987-05-02 / 1987-05-09 / 1987-05-16 / 1987-05-23 / 1987-05-30 / 1987-06-06 / 1987-06-13 / 1987-06-20 / 1987-06-27 / 1987-07-04 / 1987-07-11 / 1987-07-18 / 1987-07-25 / 1987-08-01 / 1987-08-08 / 1987-08-15 / 1987-08-22 / 1987-08-29 / 1987-09-05 / 1987-09-12 / 1987-09-19)

Bill Cosby did 7 for 6 weeks (1968-02-24 / 1968-04-06 / 1968-04-13 / 1968-04-20 / 1968-04-27 / 1968-05-04)

Michael Jackson did 7 for 2 weeks (2009-12-12 / 2010-07-17)

Beastie Boys did 7 for 1 week (2012-05-19)

Coldplay did 7 for 1 week (2016-02-27)

Second the ones with missing/non-correct weeks:

Taylor did 9 now a total of 13 times

Led Zeppelin did 9 twice (1979-10-27 / 1979-11-03)

Elvis Presley did 7 for 8 weeks (1977-10-29 / 1977-11-05 / 1977-11-12 / 1977-11-19 / 1977-11-26 / 1977-12-03 / 1977-12-10 / 1977-12-17)

Chicago did 7 for 7 weeks (1974-09-07 / 1974-09-14 / 1974-09-21 / 1974-09-28 / 1974-10-05 / 1974-10-12 / 1974-10-19)

The Monkess did 7 for for 3 weeks (1986-11-08 / 1986-11-15 / 1986-11-22)

To check the source just do https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/ + the date asked for example in The Beatles case: https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/2010-12-04/

So I'd have the change as:

• Prince (19) - 2016
• The Beatles (14) – 2010
• Whitney Houston (10) – 2012
• David Bowie (10) – 2016
• Herb Alpert (9) - 1968
• Led Zeppelin (9) – 1979
• Taylor Swift (9) – 2021, 2022, 2023
• John Fitzgerald Kennedy (8) - 1964
• Nat King Cole (8) - 1965
• Eminem (8) – 2013
• Linkin Park (8) – 2017
• Drake (8) – 2022, 2023
• Bill Cosby (7) - 1968
• Chicago (7) – 1974
• Elvis Presley (7) – 1977
• The Monkees (7) – 1986
• U2 (7) - 1987
• Pearl Jam (7) – 2001
• Michael Jackson (7) - 2009, 2010
• Beastie Boys (7) - 2012
• Coldplay (7) - 2016
• Mac Miller (7) – 2018 Nacho Iragui (talk) 21:40, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

 Not done The list you refer to is not a list of the most singles on the Billboard 200 at any specific point in time, it is the number of albums the performer had on Billboard's list of the top 200 albums from 1963-2015 GiovanniSidwell (talk) 23:30, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm not asking to change the most entries on the All Time list. I'm asking about the most entries simultaneously

If singer, Taylor Swift, has had as much as 11 albums chart simultaneously on the Billboard 200, why do her previous records of 10 and 9 albums still be on the list?
