#25 - Romeo + Juliet - Original Soundtrack

There are (2) 'Romeo & Juliet' Soundtrack albums. This one from 1997 & a 1969album by Nino Rota. You have combined the Billboard data for both albums here. So.. the Chart Entry of Billboard 2 - 122 weeks needs to be removed completely. That entry should be replaced here with Billboard 2 - 48 weeks - November 1996. Then an entry of Billboard 2 - 74 weeks - Feb. 1969 should be added to the Nino Rota 1969 album (currently #53 in 1969).

The entries in the Billboard chart are all exactly the same, we've assumed your weeks are correct but also recalculated the top 10 weeks and peak dates

Thanks
