He shall be released!

Dylan revealed as only man to hit charts every decade since 60s

Ol’ Bob has made history again! He is not only the oldest rocker – or anybody else to be honest – to make it to No 1 in the Billboard Chart…

… but it is now revealed that he is the only artist to have had an album in the Top 40 in every decade since the 1960s.

Wow Bob! So the times they aren’t a-changin Bob! You are literally the top man!

With 39 studio albums under his metaphorical belt, the figures show that Bob has had top-charting albums spanning seven decades.

Rough and Rowdy Ways not only makes Bob Dylan the oldest male solo artist to secure a No. 1 on the albums charts but it also deems him the oldest artist to have a No. 1 album of new and original material.

Murder Most Foul, a 17-minute ballad dropped on streaming services with no warning and became his first No. 1 single on any Billboard chart.

The Billboard 200 charts calculate their figures by ranking the albums that are most popular each week in the U.S. on the basis of multi-metric consumption which is then measured in equivalent album sales. Units are made up by album sales, track equivalent albums and streaming equivalent albums.

Dylan started his musical career in 1959.
