GUNS N’ ROSES’ Greatest Hits Logs 400th Nonconsecutive Week On Billboard 200

On the latest Billboard 200 albums chart (dated June 10th), Guns N’ Roses’ Greatest Hits logs its 400th nonconsecutive week on the chart, making it just one of seven albums to spend at least 400 weeks on the list. The others: Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon (927), Johnny Mathis' Johnny’s Greatest Hits (490), the My Fair Lady original cast recording (480), Bob Marley & The Wailers’ Legend (471), Journey’s Greatest Hits (462) and Metallica’s self-titled album (432).

Guns N’ Roses’ Greatest Hits debuted and peaked at #3 on the chart dated April 10th, 2004 and has sold 5.93 million copies in the US. The album spent 138 consecutive weeks on the list from its debut through the November 25th, 2006-dated chart. It then returned to the tally on December 12th, 2009, and has been a frequent (but not quite constant) sight on the chart.
