Post Malone’s 2016 debut album Stoney has tied with Whitney Houston’s 1985 self-titled debut for second-most weeks in the top 10 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. As of April 28, Stoney sits at the No. 7 spot; the ranking began in 1965.
Stoney and Whitney Houston have each spent 64 weeks in the top rankings, and are behind Michael Jackson’s 1982 album Thriller, which spent 74 weeks in the top 10 from 1983 to 1984.
The albums with the most weeks spent in the top 10 on the chart is rounded out by The Black Eyed Peas’ The E.N.D. (63 weeks), Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ The Heist (59 weeks), Eminem’s Recovery (58 weeks), Lionel Richie’s Can’t Slow Down (58 weeks), Janet Jackson’s Control (56 weeks), Anita Baker’s Rapture (55 weeks) and Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic (54 weeks).
Stoney debuted at No. 6 on the chart on Dec. 31, with the help of its hit singles “White Iverson,” and later took No. 1 because of singles like “Congratulations,” featuring Quavo, and “I Fall Apart.” Stoney also broke the record for longest wait to reach No. 1.
Posty’s success with Stoney follows the success of his sophomore album Beerbongs & Bentleys, which released on Friday. The album includes hit songs such as the 21 Savage-assisted “Rockstar,” which has been a 14-week superstar on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and the Ty Dolla Sign-featuring “Psycho,” which debuted at No. 2 in March.
