GUNS N' ROSES Album Makes History On The Billboard Charts... And It's Not Appetite For Destruction

Guns N’ Roses changed the look and sound of rock forever in the ‘80s, reports Forbes Senior Contributor, Hugh McIntyre.

With their slew of huge hits and massively successful albums, the band amassed an enormous following, and though they don’t hold the same place in the industry as they did decades ago, their music is still being streamed and purchased in large enough numbers that the musicians make history on the Billboard charts this week.

The band’s Greatest Hits set has now lived on the Billboard 200 for 700 weeks. That’s one of the longest runs of all time on Billboard’s ranking of the most-consumed albums in the US, and that’s a number that very, very few titles have even approached.

Guns N’ Roses’ compilation is one of only eight releases in American history to spend 700 weeks on the Billboard 200. The band is in truly incredible company... and in an amazing bit of coincidence, they’re not the only musical act that hits that figure this time around.
