Most #1 Albums: 19.
Second place is Elvis Presley & Jay Z tied at 10.
Most Total Weeks At #1: 132.

Wilco - Wilco on June 30
I’m not that excited about this album as I think Wilco has been getting progressively less interesting since 2001’s brilliant Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (which I still think is among the best albums of the decade.) That being said, I’m sure to give it a chance and I hope it surprises […]

According to this story, Michael Jackson left Paul McCartney the rights to The Beatles songs in his will.

This is a list of the highest selling albums by The Beatles on Amazon as derived by their top 100 selling classic rock albums list (which includes some albums that are definitely not classic rock.)

As a follow-up to my last post on the top 10 artists on Last.FM, I thought it’d be interesting to look at the top 10 artists who released most of their music in the 60s and 70s are. I think this gives a good idea of which “classic” artists have continued to stay relevant not […]
