That won't be difficult. Even including extended play like Together We Stand, I think that there are only ten in total. I suppose that the order can be debated.

I love The Debut. I really hope we get to see a recorded live performance of it like she did with Songs From The Silver Screen/Music of the Movies).

A recent Facebook post:
"Really loving the New Album. The softer tones are a plus for me. Maybe it's because I'm old and mellow(LOL) and not interested in the loud rah rah stuff you hear today. I listen to relax not get all riled up."
Impressions of the album vary widely, and different songs are favorites among those who listen earnestly. Some can't decide, while others change their minds as they listen more often. The reception is at least 95% positive and enthusiastic. Many who listen often say they continually discover something new. Jackie's interpretations are often subtle and artful, thus her renditions reveal nuances generally missed initially. Much of Jackie's music has those qualities that make it timeless and continually gratifying. With this album, Jackie has again made the music her own, with broad appeal.

Classical chart positions unchanged, this the week of May 11th You guys may not be aware of what a juggernaut this Si album is. First week to chart was 11/10/18 on the Classical and the BB200. Since then it was on the BB200 for 10 weeks straight. On the Classical, as you can see, this is it's 27th week, 21 at #1. The six not at 1 Sarah beat him twice then Texas Tenors, Michael Bolton, then some German sounding guy. Then Jackie and she is nipping at his heels. I have no idea if any other Classical type album has done this well, and I do not really care. There are plenty of non-classical type albums on this chart. So being there is a big part of the game.

When you really think about it, The Debut doesn't even belong on the classical charts at all. It should be on the POP charts like other Broadway albums are from such artist as Streisand and Brightman. What she is singing has nothing to do with classical music at all.
It really is quite obvious that someone goofed by putting this album in that genre.

I disagree - Jackie is already established as a "classical" singer, regardless whether or not this particular album fits that description or not - besides, is it better to be A big frog in a small pond, or be overwhelmed by the likes of the Taylor Swifts, Lady GaGas, etc., etc., etc. ?

The songs on those albums aren't classical songs, they are Broadway tunes! This is not how it usually works on those charts. What chart you are put on is based on the type of songs that you are singing.

I just wanted to hear a little Karen. #12 On Classical Chart with Rick Springfield and Michael Bolton. Truly true Classical singers them are.

How about a little medley from Michael Bolton, #8 on the Classical chart, "A Symphony of Hits" album?

You can keep dishing them out and I will just keep pointing out what should be obvious to most viewers.

Jackie's recordings on The Debut are covers of cast recordings from Broadway, off-Broadway, and film. Therefore it is not actually a "Broadway" album. Rather, it is a compilation of song covers from contemporary musicals recorded by an artist, Jackie, understood to be in the Classical category, even though none of her albums are classical in the traditional sense and she is not a true classical artist. Apparently, the category has been expanded to accommodate artists such as Jackie (a particularly versatile artist who's albums have incorporated several genres) who had previously been acknowledged as CC, a category that no longer exists.
These contemporary musicals constitute what is called the New American Songbook, considered a genre in its own right which has not been classified as Pop. All considered, and by whatever criteria it uses, Billboard assigned The Debut to the Classical chart. I doubt mistakes have been made by Billboard's professionals in charge of chart assignments who go by a prescribed formula.
Jackie has broadened her vocal skills to be more expressive in presenting these songs in a "Broadway" character, not necessarily in what some are calling a "Pop" voice and therefore mistakenly assume The Debut to be a Pop album. It's just Jackie being versatile as always, expanding her repertoire to include her personal perspective, or "twist", on stories and songs that had become a fascination for her.
