Soon to be fulfilled 40 years, the iconic album Legend of the mythical Bob Marley continues to be valid for the mass public and continues to achieve milestones by reaching a very particular figure.
It's just that he managed to appear 800 weeks –non-consecutive- in the ranking Billboard 200, a list that classifies the most consumed albums in the United States, based on a methodology that combines sales and streaming activity, according to what was reported by Forbes.
This is a particularly rare achievement, well It is the second album in history to achieve this after The Dark Side of The Moon de Pink Floyd, the first to reach that mark some time ago and aims for the 1.000 weeks, although it is not known when he will achieve it.
In the United Kingdom it also breaks records
In fact, Legend has already added 801 weeks on the list and will probably continue to increase its presence in the ranking in the future.
But not only in the United States. “Legend” has remained in force, well the past 27 of September fulfilled 1.100 weeks in the top 100 from the UK albums chart, the third largest presence in the history of that list. They just get over it Greatest Hits of Queen and Gold: Greatest Hits by Abba.
Legend was released in 1984, three years after Marley's death, and compiles many of the singer's greatest hits, becoming the most known and listened to reggae album in the world..
