Top Pop Catalog Albums
Top Pop Catalog Albums is a 50-position weekly albums chart produced by ''Billboard'' Magazine which ranks the best-selling catalog albums in the United States, regardless of genre. ''Billboard'' defines a catalog title as one that is more than 18 months old and that has fallen below position 100 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Albums meeting these criteria are removed from the ''Billboard'' ''Current Albums'' ranking and begin a new chart run on the ''Top Pop Catalog Albums'' chart. Effectively, the ''Billboard Current Albums'' is equivalent to the ''Billboard 200,'' with the catalog titles removed. ''Top Pop Catalog Albums'' also contains reissues of older albums. An album need not have spent any weeks on the ''Billboard'' 200 to be eligible for the ''Top Pop Catalog Albums'' chart (this occasionally occurs if an act has a breakthrough release which prompts a significant increase in sales of prior albums that were not big sellers upon their initial release). The only exception to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The year's big winner was Amy Winehouse: the 24-year-old singer had recently entered a drug rehabilitation program and did not come to Los Angeles.
