Billboard Number One Albums Of The 1960s
All albums that reached number one on the Billboard 200 during the 1960s.
The Billboard 200 did exist before this, but I'm including what occurred after the stereo and mono charts were combined into one, since it's from this point the true number one album can be ascertained.
At the time of the chart's start it was called Top LPS and was 150 positions long. On April 1, 1967, the chart was expanded to 175 positions, then finally to 200 positions on May 13, 1967. The Billboard 200 name wouldn't be used until May 13, 1992, but is the name used now even in retrospect.
The top albums of 1968 and 1969 were "Are You Experienced?" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly, which didn't go number one. "Abbey Road" would spend another 3 weeks at the top in 1970, and Led Zeppelin II would spend another 6 weeks at the top in the same year, but I'm just focusing on the 1960s performances here.
