Earlier the record for the longest gap between an album’s top spot was held by Fab Four’s ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’. The song made it to the number one spot on Britain’s music chart after a gap of 49 years and 125 days.
In addition to once again topping the ranking and breaking the record in doing so, Beatles has also broken its own record of the longest gap for a band to hold the top spot.
