Adonis Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Janet's Control had 5 Top 10 hits - What Have You Don't For Me Lately - Nasty - When I think Of You - Control - Lets Wait Awhile * Pleasure Principle only hit #14 due to only being available as a vinyl single and not a cd or cassette single.
Daylight Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 5 minutes ago, channel orange said: 3 - Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Taylor Swift Legends only.

istan4badgalriri Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) GGGB: Reloaded not being included makes no sense since Billboard, RIAA and every official album chart around the world counts GGGB & the re-issue as 1 album It would count as a separate album if the re-issue had more than 3 new songs (Billboard rule) Edited February 6, 2018 by istan4badgalriri

Too bad Gaga would easly get another top10 from The Fame or The Fame Monster alone , i wish she released another quick single from The Fame Monster at least.

MALAMENTE Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Ugh, why couldnt it be a minimum of 3 Top 10s. Revival robbed
TKO Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 I love how these lists always count The Complete Confection as a different album, when it's TD + 3 new songs. She would be #1. But still, 6 top 10s is amazing too
