...M.C. Hammer had the #1 album on the Billboard Charts, after being on the charts for 108 weeks.
More relevant to our generation, probably, is that this week 10 years ago...
Alanis Morrisette had the #1 album, "Jagged Little Pill", and had already been on the charts for 113 weeks. The Dangerous Minds soundtrack took the two slot, and Hootie and the Blowfish had the #3 album after being on the charts for 129 weeks already.
That's insane. We'll never see people sell that many albums for that long ever again. Sad.

This is true. I still love Alanis's "Jagged Little Pill" and have to break it out every once in a while.
