Did you know that Aretha Franklin has yet to achieve a #1 album on the Billboard 200?
Franklin has released 44 compilations, 40 studio albums, 4 live albums and even a soundtrack yet she has never landed any of her records at the summit of the Billboard 200. In fact, despite scoring 10 #1 albums on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums tally, the Queen of Soul’s highest-charting records were ‘I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You’ and ‘Lady Soul’, which both peaked at #2.
On the Billboard Hot 100, however, Franklin accomplished 2 #1 songs from her record 73 entries on the chart. Of course, her most popular song was her Civil Rights anthem ‘Respect’.
Watch Franklin perform ‘Respect’ below:
Now you know!

and it took pink 8 years to get a number one album, yet the Rihanna shade never ends….. cool info.
Aretha is the first female to be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, and when Bill Clinton was President he made her voice a national treasure, not to mention regarded as the greatest female vocalist of all time… Those trump billboard IMO
oh boy can u imagine the abuse Aretha takes for not having a #1 album in the USA ( HER COUNTRY)….
Are people finally beginning to realize that first week sales and not having a number 1 album in the US is not the be all and end all?? I guess with all their other achievements peoples have to find something to try and bring them down. #thatrihannareignjustwontletup
Are we really comparing Rihanna to Aretha Franklin? Wow
Aretha may not have a nos 1 album but she is no Rihanna. Aretha is wayy more talented, and can be legendary on that alone, whiles with rihanna, you take away the nos 1 singles and there is nothing to her
To me having a #1 album proves nothing, I mean lots of people has had a #1 & look where they are today also majority of the albums that doesn’t even go to number 1 is good as shit!
are rihanna stans really trying to make a comparison here? please, Ms Aretha’s legacy is something Rihanna will never achieve. i agree with @baya Aretha has so many accomplishments under her name whereas rihanna just has #11s
wow! Such hypocrites on here. First they swear that having a US #1 album is the be all and end of a music career and now they find out that Aretha the Queen of Soul doesn’t have one there are excuses. Nobody is making a comparison between Retha and Rihanna as they are clearly in two different lanes but you can’t excuse one for not having a #1 album and slate the other.
