Billboard magazine compiled the 'Greatest of All Time Billboard 200 Albums'. And it's.......something. It's based solely on chart position:
Pretty interesting to see the difference between this style of ranking and more critically minded lists. For example: 'St. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' tops a lot of critics 'best albums of all time' lists. But on this Billboard list it's #54, while Nickelback has an album in the top 10.
Quote:On this all-time list, albums are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at the lower reaches of the chart earning the least.
