List of Billboard 200 number-one albums of 2022
This is a list of the albums ranked number one in the United States during 2022. The top-performing albums and EPs in the U.S. are ranked on the "Billboard" 200 chart, which is published by "Billboard" magazine. The data is compiled by Nielsen SoundScan based on multi-metric consumption as measured in album-equivalent units, which comprise album sales, track sales, and streams on digital music platforms. Each unit equals one album sold, or 10 individual digital tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription  on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. Having topped the chart for nine weeks, "Encanto (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" is the longest-reigning number-one album of 2022. It is the soundtrack to Disney's 2021 animated musical film, "Encanto", and marked the sixth time in history an animated film's soundtrack reached number one on the "Billboard" 200, following "The Lion King" (1994), "Pocahontas" (1995), "Curious George" (2006), "Frozen" (2014) and "Frozen II" (2019).
