Guns N’ Roses’ Greatest Hits has been on the U.S. charts for 400 weeks
Guns N’ Roses notched up an impressive record this week, with their Greatest Hits collection’s latest appearance on the Billboard 200 albums chart being the record’s 400th non-consecutive week on the chart.
The album has racked up 5.93 million sales in the U.S., peaking at #3 upon its April 10, 2004 debut, and spending 138 consecutive weeks in the 200 before falling out in November, 2006. The record then charted again on December 12, 2009 — and has bounced in and out ever since.
The Gunners collection is only the seventh record to break the 400 mark, the others being — in order: Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon (927), Johnny Mathis’ Johnny’s Greatest Hits (490), the My Fair Lady OCR (480), Bob Marley & The Wailers Legend (471), Journey’s Greatest Hits (462) and Metallica. (432).
