While we wait for Hamlet, I thought I'd sneak in with what I think is an interesting question.
Who was the first artist to hold #1 and #2 album on Billboard simultaneously? Bonus for the names of the albums and extra bonus of you know who was the second artist to achieve the same two positions. |

Guessing Elvis Presley with Hound Dog and Love Me Tender but those were singles and not full albums.
Beatles also did it with Can't Buy Me Love and Twist and Shout. After that we have Ashanti, Nelly and 50 Cent. |

You wouldn't be sneaky and say it's Bob Newhart and his comedy albums?

Yes, I was thinking music but Bilboard may have put Newhart in "Pop" category so it counts. I don't know the titles but remember they being wildly popular.

In those days there wasn't any category for comedy album. Titles were The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart and Return of The Button Down Mind. He held that position until a certain Axl Rose appeared on the scene.

Tear one off and scratch my head.
What once was red is black instead. What am I? |

It was a Riddler riddle in a Batman movie. That is how I knew the answer.

Exactly so. You didn't fall for the trap of trying to make it point in the opposite direction.
Over to you, orlok. |
