UPDATE (Sept. 14): The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack finally jumps to No. 1 on this week’s Billboard 200, after spending seven nonconsecutive weeks at No. 2. It ranked second behind Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem for five weeks, behind Stray Kids‘ debuting Karma for one and behind Sabrina Carpenter‘s debuting Man’s Best Friend for one.

By hitting No. 1, we can remove KPop Demon Hunters from our list of albums that spent seven or more weeks in the runner-up spot without going all the way. We did include a parenthetical disclaimer that this could happen: “(Of course, it’s possible that KPop will make it to No. 1 eventually. No one would bet against the pop-culture juggernaut at this point.)”

The list, which covers the entire history of the Billboard 200, from March 1956 to the present, is still valid — just one entry shorter. If you missed it last week, you have another chance to read it this week.

PREVIOUSLY (Sept. 8): The artists with albums that logged seven or more weeks at No. 2 without reaching No. 1 are a varied bunch, running the gamut from mellow instrumentalist Kenny G to English glam metal band Whitesnake. Our list includes debut albums by Sonny & Cher, Wilson Phillips and C&C Music Factory. There’s also a label sampler from RCA Records that featured many of its biggest stars.

The Beatles kept Sonny & Cher’s debut album from reaching No. 1; they also kept two of their own albums from the top spot. Michael Jackson never blocked one of his own albums from the No. 1 spot, but he kept albums by Stray Cats, Journey and Whitesnake from making No. 1.

Here are all the albums that have logged seven or more weeks at No. 2 without reaching No. 1. They are ranked from least to most weeks at No. 2, with ties shown in chronological order.
