Comedy Albums

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Comedy Albums is a Billboard chart that lists the "top-selling spoken word and musical comedy albums" each week, as ranked by sales data compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. The chart debuted as Top Comedy Albums in October 2004 when it was published for the first time exclusively in Billboard's websites.[1] The first number-one album on the Top Comedy Albums chart was Lord, I Apologize by Larry the Cable Guy.[1][2] As of November 2023, the longest leading number-one album on the chart is Inside (The Songs) by Bo Burnham.[3]

Its Billboard Year-End chart has been archived for public viewing back to 2006, with 15 entries for each year.[4]

On May 16, 2014, Billboard published "Top 20 Best Selling Comedy Albums", featuring albums from as far back as 1991, the start of the Nielsen SoundScan era.[5]
