Everything about Top Pop Catalog Albums totally explained
Top Pop Catalog Albums is a weekly albums chart produced by
Billboard magazine which ranks the best selling catalog titles, regardless of genre.
Billboard defines a catalog title as one that's more than eighteen months old and that has fallen below position 100 on the
Billboard 200. Albums meeting these criteria are removed from the
Billboard 200 and begin a new chart run on
Top Pop Catalog Albums.
Top Pop Catalog Albums also contains reissues of older albums. An album need not have spent any weeks on the
Billboard 200 to be eligible for
Top Pop Catalog Albums (this occasionally occurs if an act has a breakthrough release which prompts a significant increase in sales of prior albums that were not big sellers upon their initial release).
The only exception to the "eighteen months old" rule pertains to holiday releases (for example,
Christmas albums). A "holiday" release is eligible for the
Billboard 200 only during its initial year of release. After its first year, a holiday-related album appears on
Top Pop Catalog Albums. Many consistent-sellers make return trips to
Top Pop Catalog Albums each November through January (it isn't rare to see the top 20 or 30 positions occupied by holiday albums during December).
A unique feature of the
Top Pop Catalog Albums chart is the replacement of the "weeks on chart" column (a standard in
Billboard's other charts) with a "total weeks" column, which is a cumulative total of weeks an album spent on both the
Billboard 200 and the
Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. The "total weeks" longevity record (by a large margin) is held by
Pink Floyd's
Dark Side of the Moon, which has a cumulative total of about 1,600 chart weeks (more than 30 years).
Top Pop Catalog Albums contains fifty positions.
