Albums with more than 3 "hit" songs

[spanky]

the first bush album... "seventh stone" or something?

EDIT - my bad... it's "sixteen stone"

Maybe it's better to ask which artist actually releases albums with more than 3 good songs on it. That automatically disqualifies Britney S., Michael J., George M. and all the boybands.

That was her third album which is why I always found it odd that she won best new artist with it.

If you simply stick with 3 #1 singles on Billboard's Hot 100, there are probably only a few. The Beatles probably did it on more than one album. Off the top of my head, I can recall that Michael Jackson(Bad, not Thriller), Janet Jackson(Rhythm Nation 1814), Mariah Carey(Fantasy), and Alanis Morissette also accomplished this feat.


Edit I asked an expert who said that many of Alanis Morissette's songs were not released as singles, so they did not hit #1 on Billboard. However, he also mentioned Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack, Bee Gee's "Spirit Having Flown", and an Milli Vanilli album .

Okay alanis morisette's debut was around 91 or so and she only had like 1 or 2 decent songs back then. In 95-96 her new "style" album, Jagged Little Pill is like the album with the most songs on it played all the time on the radio I can remember(I was born in 85 though......)
