Ones I Know

[Robbie]

None of the first three albums could have spent that long in the top 200 albums chart from their debut as the Top 200 chart didn't exist until 1996 (well, Abba Gold could have, but it didn't)! They had a good chart run, but those figures you have quoted aren't possible...

Do you mean overall weeks in the chart or consecutive runs inside the chart after falling off the charts and re-entering? If the latter then none of the albums achieved those figures either!

Not being picky, I just don't understand what figures you mean...

[Robbie]

I should have said - the chart was a top 150 until 1996, a top 75 until 1992, a top 100 until 1989, a top 60 until December 1978 and a Top 50 until January 1977.

The industry may have had a bigger chart until 1996 but none of the first three albums would have been on that (unpublished) extended chart for as long as those weeks from entry, with perhaps the exception of Abba Gold. But we'll never know those weeks on chart as they've never been made publicly available.
