fridayteenage Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Someone noted this week that Taylor now had three studio albums with 3 top 2s each, which made me wonder how common this was, to have a trinity of hits that were at least within striking distance of the crown. Not as much as I expected. The following may not be exhaustive especially for the pre-Soundscan decades: 3 Taylor/1989, Lover, Midnights Mariah/Mariah Carey, Daydream, Emancipation of Mimi 2 Drake/Scorpion, For all the Dogs Rihanna/Good Girl Gone Bad, Loud Usher/My Way, Confessions Madonna/Like a Prayer, True Blue Whitney/Whitney Houston, Whitney Janet/Rhythm Nation, Janet Michael/Bad, Thriller Bee Gees/Saturday Night Fever, Spirits Having Flown Beatles/Introducing, Magical Mystery Tour Selected ladies with 1 Christina Aguilera, Donna/Bad Girls, Paula/Forever Your Girl, Supremes/Where Did Our Love Go, TLC/Crazysexycool, Monica/Boy is Mine, Wilson Phillips, Destiny’s Child/Survivor, Fergie/Dutchess, Adele/21, Katy/Teenage Dream, Ariana/Thank U Next 2

Teenage Dream has at least three so it is counted. I believe that's her only album meeting this criteria, hence: 1 hour ago, fridayteenage said: Selected ladies with 1 Katy/Teenage Dream 1
