The Beatles – on three occasions: 9 January 2010 (11), 4 December 2010 (14) and 1 March 2014 (13) – and Prince – twice, on 14 May (19) and 28 May 2016 (13) – are the only two acts to have previously placed as many as 11 albums on the Billboard 200 simultaneously, dating back to the magazine’s first combined stereo and mono albums chart on 17 August 1963.

The same 11 albums were also on the Billboard 200 on 29 July 2023, from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) at No.1 to Taylor Swift at No.159. With four entries in the Top 10 simultaneously on 22 July 2023 (and the following week), Swift became the first living artist since Herb Alpert on 2 April 1966 to place as many as four albums in the Top 10. Prince, in the immediate aftermath of his death, occupied five of the top 10 positions on 14 May 2016.
