Several performers, including Bob Marley, have such a large fan base that they always maintain a single compilation of their best-known songs on the Billboard 200. Few musicians can honestly say that they have had so many massive successes that they have been at the top of the U.S. album charts for years. The reggae superstar is constantly present on the competitive score, and his biggest release hits a historic milestone as long as Americans keep listening to and purchasing music.
Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and The Wailers is among the most exclusive groups. The greatest hits of Marley and his band have been compiled into this frame, which has spent 850 weeks on the Billboard 200.

Just two artists in American history have peaked at that position on the Billboard 200, and Marley is the second. Pink Floyd is the only other artist to do this. In roughly ten weeks, the English rock band’s The Dark Side of the Moon will become the first game to reach 1,000 frames.
Legend’s position on the Billboard 200 drops this week, from No. 56 to No. 63. It has been around for years, selling and streaming well enough to consistently be in the top 200 titles in the nation despite having reached as high as No. 5 in the past.
According to Luminate, Legend moved 14,300 more comparable units in America last week. That is a mere few percentage points decrease from the previous period. For a collection that spans decades, the amount represents approximately 2,800 real purchases, which is a significant amount.
In addition to making history on the Billboard 200, Marley’s Legend is included on several other American counts. Top Album Sales (No. 36), Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (No. 20), Top R&B Albums (No. 4), and Reggae Albums lists now feature the collection. Once more, it dominates the latter list, which is nearly usually the case.
Only a few years after Marley’s untimely death at the age of thirty-six, Legend appeared in 1984. The album included a number of his most well-known songs, including “No Woman No Cry,” “Is This Love,” “Three Little Birds,” and “Get Up, Stand Up.” The project was well-called, given that the late actor was already a legend in his own right; it soon became another commercial hit.
