Due to how the Billboard 200 diagram is now gathered, where streaming activity is mixed with album sales and track sales, albums tend to spend longer on the list thanks to continued streaming activity. The chart first started using streaming information in its methodology in December 2014. Before that time the diagram was based solely on traditional album sales.
A long tracklist with more popular songs can also help get big streaming totals so albums like One thing at a time and Dangerous (each with more than 30 songs per piece) benefits from the continued weekly streams of their long tracklists.
Furthermore, older albums (known as catalog album; generally defined today as titles at least 18 months old) were mostly limited from mapping on Billboard 200 from May 25, 1991-Nov. 28, 2009. Then the catalog and current (new/recently released) spend albums diagram together on Billboard 200. In return, older albums now regularly spend hundreds of weeks on the chart. For example, on the list 15 March 2025 dated, there are more than 30 albums with at least 400 total weeks on the chart. Prior to the Rule Change in December 2009, which allows catalog album back on the chart, only three albums had spent more than 400 weeks on the list-led by Pink Floyd’s card topping The dark side of the moon. Today, it still holds the record in most weeks on the list of 990.
