Taylor Swift is the only artist to have five studio albums chart for over 150 weeks, with 1989 (372 weeks), the longest charting studio album by an international female artist on the UK Charts, Lover (247 weeks), Folklore (216 weeks), Reputation (182 weeks) and Evermore (174 weeks).

The following is a list of all albums that have spent at least 150 weeks on the UK Albums Chart as published by the Official Charts Company (OCC). The chart comprises a top 100 from August 1981 to 1988 and since 1994, a top 75 before this (and from 1988 to 1994) from 1978 and various lengths before this from July 1956. Re-releases – such as remasters, re-issues, deluxe versions or anniversary editions – are treated together unless the re-released version differs significantly from the original (for example, it has been re-recorded or remixed). This list does not include compilation albums by various artists, which have been excluded from the UK Albums Chart since 1989. Soundtracks are still included if they are an original cast performance or if all tracks are performed by the same artist. [1]

The top three are all compilation albums, headed by Queen's Greatest Hits which has spent 1436 weeks in the top 100, ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits , with 1173 weeks on the chart, followed by Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers with 1151 weeks. The most weeks for a studio album is 1062 for Rumours by Fleetwood Mac which charted every year from its release in 1977 until 1989 and in fifteen different years since then.

Amy Winehouse's 2006 album Back to Black has the most weeks for a post-2000 release, charting for 571 weeks to date, though this total includes 55 weeks for the deluxe edition and 1 week for the box set that includes Back to Black and Winehouse's debut album Frank . The original soundtrack of South Pacific has the most weeks at number 1, with 115. [2] The most weeks by an album not reaching number 1 is 574 for Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and the most weeks by an album not reaching the top 10 is 362 for Singles by Maroon 5.

Six acts have multiple albums achieving 300 weeks on chart: Fleetwood Mac, Oasis, Ed Sheeran, Simon & Garfunkel, Arctic Monkeys and Adele. Of these, Oasis is the only act to have three albums pass the 300-week threshold, all of which subsequently passed the 400-week threshold, and the 500-week threshold, making them the first act with multiple studio albums achieving 500 weeks on the chart. They remain the only act with three albums having reached this milestone, and in 2023 became the first act to have multiple albums achieve 500 weeks. Arctic Monkeys would become the second act to have two studio albums achieve 500 weeks on the chart in June 2024, and the first act to achieve this with two albums that were released in the 21st Century

Taylor Swift is the artist to have the most studio albums pass the 150-week threshold, with five of her albums reaching this feat so far.

The numbers shown are up to the chart for the week ending 19 September 2024.

(*) indicates that the album is in the top 100 for the current week ending.
