Monty Python Returns With Several Albums At The Same Time

The comedians who made Monty Python, the beloved British comedy group, are best remembered for their visual media like television and film, but the troupe also released multiple albums throughout the years. Together, the talented writers and performers reached the Billboard charts several times with a number of full-length collections.

While the comedy troupe has not released a new album in many years, it sees multiple projects return to the same Billboard ranking this frame in America.

Monty Python Brings Two Albums Back

Two of Monty Python’s releases manage to sit side by side on the one tally where they currently appear in the United States. The performers see both The Contractual Obligation Album and Monty Python and the Holy Grail: The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer return to the Comedy Albums chart this week. Those titles reenter at Nos. 6 and 7, respectively.

Monty Python’s Albums Peaked in the Same Spot

Both of Monty Python’s titles that are present on the Comedy Albums ranking this frame have peaked as high as No. 5. While the collections may have stalled in the same space, their journeys on the list of the most consumed comedy releases in the U.S. differ when it comes to longevity. The Contractual Obligation Album has only managed seven stays somewhere on the tally, while The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer has appeared 113 times throughout the years.

Monty Python Joins Weird Al and Tenacious D

Monty Python is the only act that fills multiple spaces on the Comedy Albums chart at the moment. The group joins several well-known figures in that space, such as Tenacious D, Lil Dicky, and “Weird Al” Yankovic, who all regularly appear on the roster as well.

Both of Monty Python’s current successes were released decades ago, but remain favorites among a diehard group of fans. The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer arrived in 1975 — half a century ago — while The Contractual Obligation Album dropped in 1980.
