List of Billboard 200 number-one albums of 1982
The Billboard 200 , published in Billboard magazine , is a weekly chart that ranks the 200 highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States. Before Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, Billboard estimated the sales for the album charts from a representative sampling of record stores nationwide, which was gathered by telephone, fax or messenger service.[1] The data was based on reports from record stores, who ranked the popularity of the best-selling records but did not provide any actual sales figures.[2] [3]
Asia 's self-titled debut album was the best-selling album of 1982, and spent nine non-consecutive weeks at number one.
