List of Billboard 200 number-one albums of 1983
The ''Billboard'' 200, published in ''Billboard'' magazine, is a weekly chart that ranks the highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States. In 1983, the name of the chart was Top LPs & Tape. Before Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, ''Billboard'' estimated sales from a representative sampling of record stores nationwide, using telephone, fax or messenger service.〔 Retrieved on 2009-01-21.〕 Data were based on rankings made by the record stores of the best-selling records, not on actual sales figures.〔 Retrieved on 2009-01-21.〕〔 Retrieved on 2009-01-21.〕
