Prine’s chart history includes 15 entries on the Billboard 200 albums survey over a career that began with his first entry, his self-titled debut, in 1972. From then through his April 2020 passing, his music appeared solely on album-based lists. After he died, multiple songs of his reached Billboard tallies as fans celebrated the Americana/folk icon. A posthumous release, “I Remember Everything,” subsequently debuted at No. 1 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart in June.
