Studio albums that almost play like hits collections

by **NothingFails** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 7:52 pm

Of course this isn't to say these artists haven't had many more hits, but certain artists have one or two albums out there that you can put on and they can almost come off like hits collections where even many of the non-singles were somehow hits in their own right (like airplay and artists playing them a lot on tour).

What are some you feel fall into this?

Michael Jackson - Thriller / Bad / Dangerous
Madonna - True Blue
Janet Jackson - Control / Rhythm Nation
The Who - Who's Next
U2 - Achtung Baby
Queen - The Game
The Police - Synchronicity
Nirvana - Nevermind
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Blondie - Parallel Lines
Human League - Dare
Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed / Sticky Fingers
Prince - Purple Rain
Pearl Jam - Ten
Weezer - Weezer (Blue)
Kiss - Destroyer
Donna Summer - Bad Girls
Whitney Houston - Bodyguard
The Killers - Hot Fuss
R.E.M. - Automatic For The People

others?

If we're talking of albums for which the album tracks are better known than other singles by the acts in question, then I'd have to include

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
Oasis - What's The Story, Morning Glory

as two essentials!

So far for Taylor Fearless. Not only did her 5 official singles reach the top 10 on Country radio but she had 13 top 40 hits on the H100 from one album! And a non album track reached platinum and some reached Gold and some nonsingles even had airplay on country radio

I'd say Kylie's Aphrodite album feels like a hits album.
