The last album to log more than 10 consecutive weeks at No. In the last 20 years, two albums have managed to string together 10 consecutive weeks at No 1 – Adele’s 21 from January to March 2012, and Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album from January to March 2021. That stands as the longest continuous run at No. Fueled by the viral hit “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” the Encanto soundtrack topped the Billboard 200 for eight consecutive weeks earlier this year.
