List of Billboard 200 number-one albums of 2020

This is a list of the albums ranked number one in the United States during 2020. The top-performing albums and EPs in the United States are ranked on the Billboard 200 chart, which is published by Billboard magazine. The data is compiled by Nielsen SoundScan based on each album's weekly physical and digital sales, as well as on-demand streaming and digital sales of their individual tracks.

Starting on the issue dated January 18, 2020, Billboard updated the methodology to compile the chart by incorporating official video data from YouTube, along with visual plays from streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and Vevo.[1]

Taylor Swift's eighth studio album Folklore was her seventh consecutive number-one debut on the chart, earning 846,000 units in its first week—the biggest sales week of 2020, and the biggest debut since Swift's own Lover in 2019. Folklore is the top-selling album of the year, thus far.[2]
