Music Minute!

Chart rivals Madonna and Janet Jackson.

Did you know know that Madonna and Janet Jackson have charted more consecutive #1 studio albums on the Billboard 200 than any other female artist?

Madonna and Jackson both scored 5 consecutive #1 studio albums on the Billboard 200. The former’s ‘Music’ (2000), ‘American Life’ (2003), ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’ (2005), ‘Hard Candy’ (2008) and ‘M.D.N.A.’ (2012) records all topped the chart. On the hand, Jackson reached the summit of the Billboard 200 with ‘Control’ (1986), ‘Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814′ (1989), ‘janet.’ (1993), ‘The Velvet Rope’ (1997) and ‘All for You’ (2001).

However, Madonna has scored 8 #1 albums on the Billboard 200 compared to Jackson’s 6 chart-toppers and is second only to Barbra Streisand’s 9 top-selling records. Additionally, Madonna placed 20 top 10 albums (studio, compilations and live sets) on the lineup whereas Jackson only logged 9 of such releases. Of course, Madonna and Jackson are still far from matching the 31 top 10 albums record set by Streisand.

Watch the videos for Madonna and Jackson’s most recent #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 – ‘Music’ and ‘All for You’, respectively – below:

   @Team Breezy, Britney’s aren’t consecutive…if we’re talkin non-consecutive, then Janet has 6 as well…not sure of Madonna cuz I don’t follow her like that. A few other stats not mentioned:

   Janet is the only artist with 7 top 5 hits from 1 cd;
   Janet is the only artist to have a #1 single in three consecutive years from 1 cd; Madonna has the most #1 dance singles (30 or something) and Janet is 2nd with 18.
