Post Malone has broken a record previously held by Michael Jackson’s Thriller, as his album Stoney bagged its 77th week in the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart’s top 10.
Jackson’s 1982 LP previously spent 76 weeks in the top 10, with him holding the record for a whopping 34 years.
He was then followed by Whitney Houston’s self-titled debut, which clocked an impressive 64 weeks in the top 10, and The Black Eyed Peas’ The E.N.D., which was up there for 63 weeks.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ The Heist also spent 59 weeks in the top 10, while Eminem’s Recovery and Lionel Richie’s Can’t Slow Down were up there for 58.
Despite Malone’s news, Jackson managed to hold on to the record for most weeks spent at number one. Thriller topped the charts for a huge 37 weeks, compared to Stoney‘s three.
It was also 51 weeks before Stoney actually hit the No. 1 spot.
