Grateful Dead ties Elvis and Sinatra for most top 40 albums

[smosey wales]

I'm not quite sure how to take this....


The Grateful Dead have officially tied the record for most Billboard Top 40 albums by any act in history with the debut Dave’s Picks Vol. 48 at #33 on this week’s Billboard 200.



The Dead join Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley with 58 albums ranking in the Top 40, and could break the record with one more release. This marks the 40th time that a volume in the Dave’s Picks series, which is produced and curated by Grateful Dead Legacy Manager and Audio Archivist David Lemieux, has reached the Top 40. The album was recorded at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on November 20th, 1971.

I'm with you. I wonder if any of the Elvis or Sinatra records were live albums?

Elvis for sure. Sinatra, probably.  But aren't most of the older GD albums studio, except Europe and Live/Dead?  The "picks" live albums came out later.

Yes

I gotta find this one tonight. I love those old strip hotels--few are left. Count Basie in the 60's had his jazz on.

<<<Sinatra at the Sands is a live album by Frank Sinatra accompanied by Count Basie and his orchestra, and conducted and arranged by Quincy Jones, recorded live in the Copa Room of the former Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in 1966.>>>
