List of Billboard 200 number-one albums of 2024 explained

This is a list of the albums ranked number one in the United States during 2024. The top-performing albums and EPs in the U.S. are ranked on the Billboard 200 chart, which is published by Billboard magazine. The data is compiled by Luminate based on multi-metric consumption as measured in album-equivalent units, which comprise album sales, track sales, and streams on digital music platforms. Each unit equals one album sold, or 10 individual digital tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

The Tortured Poets Department, the eleventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, broke several all-time Billboard 200 records, including becoming the first album by a female artist to spend its first 12 weeks at the chart's number-one spot. For 2024, it is the longest-running number-one album of the year and earned 2,610,000 album-equivalent units in its first week—the largest sum of the year and a record seventh album by Swift to earn more than a million units in a week.
