There are The Beatles? and then there?s everybody else. The Fab Four has racked up a record 19 No. 1 albums on the 62-year-old Billboard 200 chart. The group dominates as the act with the most chart-toppers in the history of the tally -- ahead of JAY-Z (with 14), Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand (who both have 11).

Here?s a look at the acts with the most No. 1s on the Billboard 200 chart:

Quote
The Beatles ? 19
The Beatles earned their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 when Meet the Beatles! hit the top of the list dated Feb. 15, 1964. The set would rule the tally for 11 weeks and kick off a historic chart run for the group. The Fab Four collected their first 14 No. 1 albums in just a little more than six years (six years, three months and 29 days, to be exact), between Feb. 15, 1964, and June 13, 1970, when Let It Be reached the top. After that, the quartet returned to No. 1 with five more compilation efforts: the hits set The Beatles 1967-1970 (often referred to as The Blue Album because of the color of its album cover) in 1973; the archival albums Anthology 1, Anthology 2 and Anthology 3 between 1995 and 1996; and the greatest-hits package 1 in 2000.

JAY-Z ? 14
JAY-Z racked up his 14th No. 1 in 2017 with 4:44, extending his record as the solo artist with the most No. 1s. His first leader came with Vol. 2? Hard Knock Life, which topped the chart dated Oct. 17, 1998. Impressively, every one of his 11 solo studio albums released from 1998 through 2014 -- from Vol. 2? Hard Knock Life through 4:44 -- reached No. 1. He additionally hit No. 1 with three collaborative efforts: Unfinished Business (with R. Kelly, in 2004); MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups Presents: Collision Course (with Linkin Park, 2004); and Watch the Throne (with Kanye West, 2011).

Quote
Barbra Streisand ? 11
Barbra Streisand is the female soloist with the most No. 1s and is the only artist to have achieved No. 1 albums in the 1960s, '70s, '80s,'90s, ?00s and '10s. She charted one No. 1 in the '60s (People, in 1964); two in the '70s (The Way We Were in 1974 and the soundtrack to A Star Is Born in 1977); two in the '80s (Guilty in 1980 and The Broadway Album in 1986); two in the '90s (Back to Broadway in 1993 and Higher Ground in 1997); one in the '00s (Love Is the Answer in 2009); and two in the '10s (Partners in 2014 and Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway in 2016).

Quote
Eminem ? 8
Eminem debuted on the Billboard 200 in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP, which peaked at No. 2 (behind TLC's FanMail). Following that, every one of his eight albums has opened at No. 1: The Marshall Mathers LP (2000); The Eminem Show (2002); Encore (2004); Curtain Call: The Hits (2005); Relapse (2009); Recovery (2010); The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013) and Revival (2018).

Quote
Madonna ? 8
Madonna scored her first No. 1 in 1985 with Like a Virgin, which spent three weeks atop the tally. The diva then followed with two more No. 1s in the '80s: True Blue (No. 1 for five weeks in 1986) and Like a Prayer (No. 1 for six weeks in 1989). Madonna then waited until 2000 for her next No. 1, Music, which spent one week at the summit. She's since led the list with further No. 1s: American Life (2003), Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005), Hard Candy (2008) and MDNA (2012).

Quote
Kanye West ? 8
Like Eminem, Kanye West has seen nearly all of his chart entries hit No. 1. His debut album, The College Dropout, peaked at No. 2 in 2004 for three weeks (behind Norah Jones' Feels Like Home). After that, all eight of his albums debuted at No. 1, from 2005's Late Registration through 2018's Ye.

Quote
Drake ? 7
Drake's chart history on the Billboard 200 is mightily impressive, as all seven of his full-length albums have debuted at No. 1, from Thank Me Later in 2010 through More Life in 2017. His only chart entry to miss the top was his debut EP, So Far Gone, which peaked at No. 6 in 2009.

Quote
Janet Jackson ? 7
After a pair of low-charting albums kicked off Janet Jackson's career (a self-titled effort hit No. 63 in 1983 and Dream Street peaked at No. 147 in 1984), the diva went straight to the top in 1986 with Control. She notched another No. 1 in the '80s (Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, in 1989); two in the '90s (janet. in 1993 and The Velvet Rope in 1997); two in the 2000s (All for You in 2001 and Discipline in 2008); and one in the '10s (Unbreakable in 2015).
