Throughout his decades-long career, Van Morrison’s music has been classified under many different genres, as he has experimented and tried his hand at various styles. He has produced work that can be categorized as soul, rock, R&B, folk, and especially blues. Billboard has placed many of his most recent projects on the Blues Albums chart, where the Northern Irish singer-songwriter earns another champion.

This week, Morrison’s new full-length Remembering Now opens atop the Blues Albums chart, which ranks the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in that style. As it arrives, the musician doesn’t only land a new winner — he keeps his track record perfect.

Morrison has only sent four releases to the Blues Albums ranking throughout his career. As Remembering Now debuts, all four have now reached No. 1.

The singer-songwriter first conquered the tally in May 2021 with Latest Record Project, Volume 1. He returned to the summit a little over a year later with What’s It Gonna Take?, and in March 2023, Moving On Skiffle opened in first place.

All four of Morrison’s chart-toppers have spent just one week running the show, though some of his earlier works have remained on the list for dozens of frames.

Billboard labels Remembering Now not only blues, but also places the title on the Top Americana/Folk Albums chart. On that list, Morrison arrives at No. 20, earning his twelfth career placement. The same set launches one slot lower at No. 21 on the Top Album Sales tally.

Morrison’s latest kicks off its time on that roster with 4,500 pure purchases, according to Luminate, the company that collects sales and streaming data in the United States, which is then used to compile the Billboard charts every week.
