who has the number one album of all time?
justin bieber
the beginning of the year started with the continuation of the end of last year's number one album, "live 1975-85" by bruce springsteen, but was quickly overtaken by bon jovi, and "slippery when wet", which returned to the top spot, and became their first number one album. whitney houston scored her second #1 with "whitney", which had the longest run among the releases, spending 11 consecutive weeks at the top. the album became the first by a female artist ever to debut at #1 in the billboard 200, and produced a then-record-equaling four #1 singles from one album; which was broken two months later when michael jackson's "bad" produced five number ones. "whitney" is one of only nine albums in music history to produce at least four #1 hot 100 hits from the same album. both u2 and beastie boys gained their first number one albums, with "the joshua tree", and "licensed to ill".
