Billboard 200

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
Billboard began an album chart in 1945. Initially only five positions long, the album chart was not published on a weekly basis, with weeks sometimes passing before it was updated. A biweekly (though with a few gaps), 15-position "Best-Selling Popular Albums" chart appeared in 1955. With the increase in <a href="/facts/Album_sales/X24XCBr7">album sales</a> as the early 1950s format wars stabilized into market dominance by 45 RPM singles and long-playing 12-inch albums – and with 78 RPM record and long-playing 10-inch album sales decreasing dramatically – Billboard premiered a weekly "Best-Selling Popular Albums" chart on March 24, 1956. The position count varied anywhere from 10 to 30 albums. The first no. 1 album on the new weekly list was <a href="/facts/Belafonte_(album)/GpN9dBhb">Belafonte</a> by <a href="/facts/Harry_Belafonte/9c9C1jah">Harry Belafonte</a>. The chart was renamed "Best-Selling Pop Albums" later in 1956, and then "Best-Selling Pop LPs" in 1957.
Beginning on May 25, 1959, Billboard split the ranking into two charts: "Best-Selling Stereophonic LPs" for <a href="/facts/Stereophonic_sound/z0vmJcGT">stereo</a> albums (30 positions) and "Best-Selling Monophonic LPs" for <a href="/facts/Monaural/1lKJ5jAW">mono</a> albums (50 positions). These were renamed "Stereo Action Charts" (30 positions) and "Mono Action Charts" (40 positions), respectively, in 1960. In January 1961, they became "Action Albums – Stereophonic" (15 positions) and "Action Albums – Monophonic" (25 positions), and three months later, they became "Top LPs – Stereo" (50 positions) and "Top LPs – Monaural" (150 positions).
On August 17, 1963, the stereo and mono charts were combined into a 150-position chart called "Top LPs". On April 1, 1967, the chart was expanded to 175 positions, and then finally to 200 positions on May 13, 1967. In February 1972, the album chart's title was changed to "Top LPs & Tape"; in 1984, it was retitled "Top 200 Albums"; in 1985, it was retitled again to "Top Pop Albums"; in 1991, it became the "Billboard 200 Top Albums"; and it was given its current title of the "Billboard 200" on March 14, 1992.
From the end of 1970 to 1985, Billboard also printed a "<a href="/facts/Bubbling_Under_the_Top_LPs/As9SWI7v">Bubbling Under the Top LPs</a>" albums chart paired with the "<a href="/facts/Bubbling_Under_the_Hot_100/7S7f2QAY">Bubbling Under the Hot 100</a>" singles chart, which listed albums that had not yet charted on what was then the "Top LPs & Tape" chart.

<h3>Catalog albums</h3>
In 1960, Billboard began concurrently publishing album charts that ranked sales of older or mid-priced titles. These "Essential Inventory" charts were divided by stereo and mono albums, and featured titles that had already appeared on the main stereo and mono album charts. Mono albums were moved to the "Essential Inventory – Mono" chart (25 positions) after spending 40 weeks on the "Mono Action Chart", and stereo albums were moved to the "Essential Inventory – Stereo" chart (20 positions) after 20 weeks on the "Stereo Action Chart".
In January 1961, the "Action Charts" became "Action Albums – Stereophonic" (15 positions) and "Action Albums – Monophonic" (24 positions). Albums appeared on either chart for up to nine weeks, and were then moved to an "Essential Inventory" list of approximately 200 titles and with no numerical ranking. This list continued to be published until the consolidated "Top LPs" chart debuted in 1963.
In 1982, Billboard began publishing a "Midline Albums" chart (alternatively titled "Midline LPs"), which ranked older or mid-priced titles. The chart held 50 positions and was published on a biweekly (and later triweekly) basis.
On May 25, 1991, Billboard premiered the "<a href="/facts/Top_Pop_Catalog_Albums/dFtIGG2M">Top Pop Catalog Albums</a>" chart, the criteria for which were albums that were more than 18 months old and had fallen below no. 100 on the Billboard 200.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a>
"Both <a href="/facts/The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon/13eCxtkd">Dark Side of the Moon</a> and <a href="/facts/The_Wall/aqcnIV3v">The Wall</a> should be in the Billboard Top 200," said former <a href="/facts/Pink_Floyd/a3U8PyeV">Pink Floyd</a> member <a href="/facts/Roger_Waters/b1IwlSfM">Roger Waters</a> in 1992. "The Wall still does anything up to four million each year... They've created a catalog chart in which to place all these old albums, leaving the main chart free for all the artists the record companies will want to book advertising space for. It just offers further evidence of the dishonesty that's rife in this business."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a>
Starting with the issue dated December 5, 2009, however, the catalog limitations – which removed albums over 18 months old that had dropped below No. 100 and had no currently running singles – for the Billboard 200 were lifted, turning the chart into an all-inclusive list of the 200 highest-selling albums in the country (essentially changing "<a href="/facts/Top_Comprehensive_Albums/PfsabI20">Top Comprehensive Albums</a>" into the Billboard 200). A new chart that keeps the previous criteria for the Billboard 200 – dubbed the "<a href="/facts/Top_Current_Albums/sjC2KK8U">Top Current Albums</a>" chart – was also introduced in the same issue.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>

<h3>Holiday albums</h3>
Billboard has adjusted its policies for <a href="/facts/Christmas_music/PrX2z9vv">Christmas</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> and holiday<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> albums several times. The albums were eligible for the main album charts until 1963, when a "<a href="/facts/Billboard_Christmas_Holiday_Charts/nvRgeeHV">Christmas Albums</a>" chart was created. Albums appearing here were not listed on the "Top LPs" chart, and in 1974, this rule was reverted and holiday albums again appeared within the main list.
In 1983, the "<a href="/facts/Billboard_Christmas_Holiday_Charts/nvRgeeHV">Christmas Albums</a>" chart was resurrected, but a title's appearance here did not disqualify it from appearing on the "Top Pop Albums" chart. In 1990, the chart was retitled "<a href="/facts/Top_Holiday_Albums/sjC2KK8U">Top Holiday Albums</a>"; as of 2009, it holds 50 positions and runs for several weeks during the end-of-calendar-year holiday season. Its current policy allows holiday albums to concurrently chart on the "Top Holiday Albums" list and the Billboard 200.

<h3>Nielsen SoundScan</h3>
Since May 25, 1991, the Billboard 200's positions have been derived from <a href="/facts/Nielsen_SoundScan/vnNMy1at">Nielsen SoundScan</a> sales data; as of 2008, it is contributed to by approximately 14,000 music sellers. Because these numbers are supplied by a subset of sellers rather than <a href="/facts/Record_labels/rcrpGvM4">record labels</a>, it is common for these numbers to be substantially lower than those reported by the <a href="/facts/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America/8a7K0Ubf">Recording Industry Association of America</a> when <a href="/facts/Music_recording_certification/zGzLFa9l">Gold, Platinum and Diamond album awards</a> are announced. (RIAA awards reflect wholesale shipments, not retail sales.)

<h3>Incorporation of streaming data and track sales</h3>
See also: <a href="/facts/Album-equivalent_unit/ufWpSCqb">album-equivalent unit</a> and <a href="/facts/Top_Album_Sales/XtbnoFSM">Top Album Sales</a>
Beginning with the December 13, 2014, issue, Billboard updated the methodology of its album chart again, changing from a "pure sales-based ranking" to one measuring "multi-metric consumption".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> With this overhaul, the Billboard 200 includes on-demand streaming and digital track sales (as measured by Nielsen SoundScan) by way of a new algorithm, utilizing data from all of the major on-demand audio subscription services, including <a href="/facts/Spotify/wsTSvDD8">Spotify</a>, <a href="/facts/Apple_Music/HdUFLRFz">Apple Music</a>, <a href="/facts/Google_Play/j3N4wv6g">Google Play</a> and <a href="/facts/Groove_Music/Y6klPVjX">Groove Music</a>. Under the new methodology, 10 track sales or 1,500 song streams from an album are treated as equivalent to one purchase of the album. Billboard continues to publish a pure <a href="/facts/Album_sales/X24XCBr7">album sales</a> chart, called "<a href="/facts/Top_Album_Sales/XtbnoFSM">Top Album Sales</a>", that maintains the traditional Billboard 200 methodology but is based exclusively on SoundScan's sales data.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a>
Beginning on January 18, 2020, Billboard incorporated video and audio data from <a href="/facts/YouTube/db276jst">YouTube</a>, along with visual plays from streaming services like <a href="/facts/Apple_Music/HdUFLRFz">Apple Music</a>, Spotify, <a href="/facts/Tidal_(service)/w5dTu6IN">Tidal</a> and <a href="/facts/Vevo/EeVdgWz2">Vevo</a>, into the Billboard 200. The change has also impacted Billboard's genre-specific album charts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>

<h2 id="year-end-charts">Year-end charts</h2>
Billboard's "chart year" runs from the first week of December to the final week in November. This altered calendar allows for Billboard to calculate year-end charts and release them in time for its final print issue in the last week of December. Prior to Nielsen SoundScan, year-end charts were calculated by an inverse-point system based solely on an album's performance on the Billboard 200 (e.g., an album would be given one point for a week spent at No. 200, two points for a week spent at No. 199, etc., up to 200 points for each week spent at No. 1). Other factors, including an album's total weeks spent on the chart and its peak position, are calculated into an album's year-end total.
Since Billboard began obtaining sales information from Nielsen SoundScan, the year-end charts are now calculated by a very straightforward cumulative total of yearlong sales. This gives a more accurate picture of any given year's best-selling albums, as a title that hypothetically spent nine weeks at No. 1 in March could possibly have sold fewer copies than one spending six weeks at No. 3 in January. Albums at the peak of their popularity at the time of the November/December chart-year cutoff many times end up ranked lower than one would expect on a year-end tally, yet are ranked on the following year's chart as well, as their cumulative points are split between the two chart-years.
