Only ONE artist can say he has a Top 40 album in every decade since the 1960s.

And that artist is BOB DYLAN.

His latest album, “Rough and Rowdy Ways”, debuted at #2 this week with 53,000 copies sold.  It’s also his highest-charting album in over a decade . . . since “Together Through Life” debuted at #1 in 2009.

Bob had eight Top 40 albums in the ’60s, 14 in the ’70s, seven in the ’80s, four in the ’90s, seven in the 2000s . . . nine in the ’10s, and now one in the ’20s.

His first was “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan”, which peaked at #22 in 1963.

Bob was denied a #1 album this week by LIL BABY’s “My Turn”, which sold 70,000 copies to stay on top for a fourth week.
