By entering the Billboard 200 astatine No. 1 this week, Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? joins a abbreviated database of chart-topping albums with titles that airs questions.

Some of these titles, similar AM I THE DRAMA? and Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, include question marks. Others, similar Olivia Newton-John’s Have You Never Been Mellow, bash not. (The question people is implied.) The rubric of 1 chart-topping medium was simply a question mark. (I conjecture successful that lawsuit the question was implied.)

Numerous classical albums with question-posing titles didn’t scope No. 1, which is wherefore this database doesn’t see specified albums arsenic the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Are You Experienced? (No. 5 successful 1967), Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On (No. 6 successful 1971), Todd Rundgren’s Something/Anything? (No. 29 successful 1972), Devo’s Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (No. 78 successful 1978), Los Lobos’ How Will the Wolf Survive? (No. 47 successful 1985), Mary J. Blige’s What’s the 411? (No. 6 successful 1992) and Shakira’s Dónde Están los Ladrones? (No. 131 successful 1998). (BTW, the English translation of Shakira’s rubric is Where Are the Thieves?)

One near-miss deserves mention. Luke Bryan reached No. 1 successful 2017 with What Makes You Country, but listening to the rubric song’s lyrics again, it’s not intended arsenic a question. Key lines: “Just beryllium arrogant of what makes you country/Whatever makes you country.”

Here’s a implicit database of albums that person topped the Billboard 200 (which originated connected a consistent, play ground successful March 1956) with titles that posed questions.
